This is the first time in the last few years that the army has had to sacrifice so many soldiers during a single operation. Since Thursday evening, the authorities have closed the Poonch Jammu Highway for security reasons.
Poonch: Another bad news for the army came from the forests of Nar Khas of Mendhar in Poonch, Jammu, and Kashmir. The bodies of a JCO and a jawan have been found in an encounter with terrorists. Subedar Ajay Singh and Naik Harendra Singh were members of the army team that went out on October 14 in search of terrorists hiding in the dense forests. There was an encounter with the terrorists on the same day and since then there was no contact with Subedar Ajay Singh and Naik Harendra Singh. Their bodies were recovered on 16 October.
Earlier on October 14, two soldiers were martyred while fighting the terrorists. Apart from this, a JCO and four soldiers were martyred in the attack of the same group of terrorists late on October 10. Para commandos and helicopters are being used to search the terrorists.
In the dense forests of Nar Khas, where the encounter took place late on Thursday, the number of soldiers killed in the forest here increased to four after the bodies of two more soldiers were found. Whereas on Sunday, five soldiers were martyred in the terrorist attack in the Dera Ki Gali area of Poonch. From there the terrorists fled and came to the forests of the Nar Khas area. On Thursday, a contingent of soldiers started a search operation on the information about the hiding of the terrorists. During this, the terrorists already ambushed attacked the soldiers. Due to the dense forest and mountainous terrain, the army is facing a lot of trouble in conducting the operation. The encounter with this group of terrorists has now reached the seventh day. According to sources, this group of five to six terrorists has become a headache for the army.
