June 2: A search operation was launched by security forces on Monday in the Saladhi area of Hiranagar, located in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district, following reports of suspicious movement near a forested stretch, officials confirmed.
The action was taken after a local civilian reported sighting three unknown individuals in the area. Acting swiftly on the tip-off, police and paramilitary forces carried out a cordon-and-search operation to track down the suspects.
Authorities said surveillance has been intensified in the forest region and along the nearby highway to monitor and prevent any potential infiltration or movement.
The reported sighting has caused unease among locals. Security personnel have appealed to residents to stay alert and report any unusual or suspicious activity without delay.
