The senior officer said that the search operation in the village was launched yesterday after police got information that three-four terrorists were hiding there. When a joint security party approached the village, the terrorists opened fire.
In the gunfight that followed, head constable Bashir Ahmed was fatally injured but managed to shoot down a terrorist before he succumbed. The area has been cordoned off now and an operation to gun down the remaining terrorists is on, the officer has said.
The senior police officer said the operations against terrorists will continue as the Union Territory votes in its first Assembly election after its special status was revoked in 2019.
“We are getting continuous information about terrorists and subsequently conducting operations with an endeavour to neutralise them as soon as possible,” he said.
He said adequate security arrangements are in place in all poll-bound areas to ensure a violence-free third phase of voting.
