The search for the militant injured in an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir three days ago is continuing. The Army has issued a high alert in five districts-Kathua, Samba, Udhampur, Doda and Kishtwar. According to officials, the injured militant may be hiding in the forests of Majalta.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Army had launched ‘Operation Sohan’ on 17 September. Two Pakistani militants linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) were killed in the encounter. One militant was injured. Forensic teams are also examining bloodstains and other clues found along the route used to flee.<\/p>\n

Majalta has dense forests and hilly terrain<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Udhampur’s Majalta area is covered by dense forests and hilly terrain. Security agencies had been receiving information about suspicious activities in the Bretal-Khubban belt and the surrounding forests for the past few days. Surveillance in the area had subsequently been intensified.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Late on 16 September, after receiving information about the movement of suspicious people, the Army, CRPF and the Jammu and Kashmir Police’s SOG cordoned off the area and launched a search operation. When the terrorists opened fire during the operation, the security forces retaliated.<\/p>\n
