The same day, Lt Gen Navin Sachdeva , General Officer Commanding (GOC) Jammu-based White Knight Corps — also known as XVI Corps — conducted a multi-agency review meeting to assess the security situation and reinforce peace in the region. Official sources said the joint anti-terror operations were initiated based on intelligence inputs about the movements of terror suspects in some areas.
In other places, these were launched as part of a routine exercise. Searches were conducted in the two frontier districts along the LoC — Poonch and Rajouri — as well as in the higher reaches of Udhampur, Kathua, Doda, and Kishtwar districts. An official said a search was launched in Maidaan Mohalla in Sangiote area of Poonch’s Gursai after two suspected terrorists were found moving late Friday.
Not lowering their guard, security forces also initiated an intensified cordon-and-search operation in Dera ki Gali and adjoining areas, besides parts of Sunderbani and Nowshera sectors in Rajouri. Similar exercises were carried out in Mohalla Qasba, Allapir and Jaalian in Mandi and Mankote sectors of Poonch.
