Jammu: The security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar on Tuesday started a Cordon and search operation in the area after a village defence guard (VDGs) fired after noticing suspicious movement in the area.
Official sources said that the VDG members had fired several gunshots after noticing suspicious movement in the Kuntwara area of Kishtwar.
He also said that the security started a cordon and search operation after VDG members reported that they had noticed suspicious movement in the area.
The area is the same where – were terrorists killed two VDG members on November 7.
The VDG committees were formed a few years ago by police in the hilly districts of Jammu after a number of attacks by terrorists in the hilly districts of the Jammu division.
In a number of cases, VDGs have thwarted the designs of terrorists to kill civilians in order to generate fear so that the diktats of the terrorists are carried out.
The terrorists in the area had carried ambush attacks against the army, police, other security forces and civilians in these districts in last few months.
It was after revising their strategy that the security forces were able to check the movement of terrorists in the densely forested areas that were used by the terrorists to carry hit-and-run attacks.
