Kashmir Encounter
Jammu and Kashmir: Encounter ensues between militants, security forces in Srinagar
Srinagar/UNI: An encounter ensued between militants and security forces during a Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) in the summer capital, Srinagar, on Monday.
Official sources said that following specific information about presence of militants, a joint CASO was launched by Special Operations Group of J&K police and CRPF at Barzulla in uptown Srinagar on Monday morning.
However, they said when security forces were moving towards a particular area, militants hiding there, fired at them with automatic weapons.
“The security forces retaliated, ensuing in an encounter,” they said.
They said additional security forces have been rushed to further cordon off the area to foil any attempts by militants to escape. “Security forces have also been deployed in strength in adjoining areas to maintain law and order,” they said, adding the exchange of fire was going on when the reports last came in.
