A fresh exchange of fire took place on Thursday between terrorists and security personnel in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district, where four Army personnel were killed and two others were injured in an encounter, officials said The fresh firing resumed this morning after a night-long halt in Bajimaal area of Dharmsal belt, officials said.
The area was cordoned off overnight with induction of additional security forces to ensure that terrorists engaged in the encounter do not escape from the area, which is highly forested, they said.
The treacherous terrain of Reasi-Rajouri-Poonch coupled with limited road connectivity is posing a difficulty in carrying out the operation, they said. PTI
