4 December, 2024; In a joint operation, the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police have launched an extensive cordon and search operation (CASO) in the Tral region of Pulwama district following an attack on a soldier on leave. The soldier, who was shot by suspected terrorists, is reported to be in stable condition and is currently receiving medical treatment.
According to the Chinar Corps of the Indian Army, the attack occurred recently in the region, which has been a hotspot for militant activity. The soldier was targeted while he was on leave, sparking an immediate response from security forces. Upon receiving information about the attack, the Army and local police forces swiftly cordoned off the area to track down the militants responsible.
The ongoing search operation is aimed at locating and neutralizing the militants who carried out the attack. Authorities have not yet confirmed the exact number of terrorists involved but have stated that the operation is progressing as per planned protocols.
This attack in Tral comes as a reminder of the volatile security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in areas like Pulwama, where militant activity remains a significant challenge for both security forces and local residents. The region has seen several attacks in the past, targeting both civilians and security personnel.
The Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police are working closely to ensure the safety of civilians while intensifying their efforts to eliminate terrorist elements from the area. Authorities have urged residents to cooperate with security forces during the operation.
The soldier’s stable condition brings some relief, and the security forces have vowed to continue their efforts until the perpetrators are brought to justice. The operation in Tral is expected to continue until the area is cleared of all threats.
