Kulgam, Nov 3: Security forces uncovered and destroyed two old terrorist hideouts during a joint search operation in the forest areas of Damhal Hanjipora in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district, officials said on Monday.
According to officials, the operation was jointly carried out by the 9 Rashtriya Rifles and local police following specific intelligence inputs.
“Two old hideouts were located and subsequently destroyed between the Ahmadabad and Nengripora forest belts,” an official said.
Recovered materials from the sites include gas cylinders, clothing, and other supplies. Authorities believe the hideouts may have been used in the past by militant groups operating in the region.
Further investigation is underway to determine the origins and possible recent use of the hideouts.
