08.07.2024: In a daring operation, four Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists were killed by security forces in Chinnigam, Frisal, located in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district. The terrorists had been hiding in a secret bunker, cleverly concealed behind a fake cupboard, before they were discovered and neutralized by the Indian Army.
The Encounter
The encounter took place on Saturday night, leading to the deaths of the four terrorists identified as Yawar Bashir Dar, Zahid Ahmad Dar, Tawheed Ahmad Rather, and Shakeel Ahmad Wani. All four were affiliated with the Hizbul Mujahideen, with one of them being a local commander of the terrorist group.
Details of the Hideout
According to officials, the terrorists had created a bunker inside an almirah to evade detection. The involvement of local residents in sheltering the terrorists is currently under investigation.
Casualties
The operation was not without loss. Two brave soldiers of the Indian Army, Para Commando Lance Naik Pradeep Nain and Havaldar Raj Kumar of the 1 Rashtriya Rifles, were killed in action during the encounters in Kulgam.
Separate Encounters
In addition to the Chinnigam operation, another encounter took place in Madergam, resulting in the deaths of two more Hizbul terrorists, Faisal and Adil. Inspector General of Police VK Birdi confirmed the successful elimination of these terrorists and highlighted the sacrifice of the soldiers who lost their lives.
Security Measures
In light of these events, security officials have reviewed the situation, especially concerning the ongoing Amarnath Yatra. The encounter sites were located in the interiors of Kulgam, away from the national highway, and security forces are maintaining a vigilant watch over the area to ensure the safety of pilgrims and locals.
Official Statements
An official involved in the operation stated, “The success of this operation is a result of the close watch and coordinated efforts of the police and other agencies.” The Indian Army’s continued vigilance and swift action have once again underscored their commitment to maintaining peace and security in the region.
This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by security forces in Jammu and Kashmir. The brave actions of the soldiers and the successful neutralization of the terrorists serve as a reminder of the relentless efforts to combat terrorism in the region.
