Srinagar: In a significant blow to terror networks in Jammu and Kashmir, security forces neutralised six terrorists in two separate operations conducted in Kelar and Tral areas earlier this week. The operations, carried out with precision and caution, also ensured the safe rescue of trapped civilians under hostile fire.

Maj Gen Dhananjay Joshi, General Officer Commanding (GOC), Victor Force, confirmed the successful completion of both operations while briefing the media.
“On 12th May, we got information on the possible presence of a terrorist group in the higher reaches in Kelar. On the morning of 13th May, on detection of some movement, our parties challenged the terrorists, who retaliated with fire. Our parties neutralised them,” Maj Gen Joshi said.

The second anti-terror operation took place in a border village of Tral, a region that has historically been a hotbed of militant activity.
“The second operation in Tral area was conducted in a border village. As we were laying a cordon at this village, the terrorists positioned themselves in different houses and fired at us. At this time, the challenge we faced was rescuing the civilian villagers. After this, three terrorists were neutralised,” he added.

Among the six terrorists eliminated was Shahid Kutte, a known operative involved in two major terror strikes, including a brazen attack on a German tourist. According to Maj Gen Joshi, “He also had a hand in funding activities,” indicating his deep involvement in sustaining militant infrastructure in the Valley.
