3 gunbattles on single day in poll-bound J&K
Security forces shot dead three terrorists as three parallel gunfights broke out in Jammu & Kashmir, officials familiar with the matter said on Thursday — the latest in a raft of encounters that have roiled the Union territory as it gears up to hold its first assembly elections in 10 years. Two terrorists were killed in Machhal and another in Tangdhar sectors, roughly 50km apart, after security forces foiled separate infiltration bids in the Kupwara district of Kashmir, the officials said. The first encounter broke out in Machhal at around 8pm on Wednesday after a joint team of the Indian Army, Border Security Force, and J&K Police noticed “suspicious movement” along the Line of Control. While the gunbattles raged in the north Kashmir district, security personnel separately launched a search operation in Rajouri at around 9.30pm after receiving information about the presence of terrorists in the Lathi area.
