    J&K: Search Operations Launched After Suspicious Movement in Rajouri, Doda, Poonch

    JAMMU, Mar 18: Security forces have launched search operations across Rajouri, Doda and Poonch districts of Jammu and Kashmir following reports of suspected terrorist movement, officials said on Wednesday.

    A combing operation was initiated late Tuesday in Khandli and adjoining areas near Palma in Rajouri after locals reported seeing two suspicious individuals moving through a nallah towards a nearby forest. No contact has been established so far, officials said.

    Similar operations are underway in several villages of Marmat in Doda, a route often used by terrorists to move between Doda and Basantgarh in Udhampur, which also connects to parts of Ramban district. Searches were also conducted in Sarlea in Doda and Dandi Dhara and Ari Sarooti in Poonch district. (Agencies)
