Forces launch CASO in several Shopian villages

Shopian: Security forces launched cordon and search operations in three villages of south Kashmir’s Shopian district on Wednesday.

A police official said that columns of army, CRPF and police personnel ring-fenced Hindsitapora, Nildang Batapora and Mujmarg villages of the district and carried out search operations.

   

“The search operations, according to the official, were launched after the forces were tipped off about the presence of militants in these areas”, he said.

The operations were later called off as no militant was found hiding in these areas.
