NEW DELHI: Security forces on Wednesday launched a search operation in the Rajbagh sector of Kathua district following reports of suspicious movement in the area, officials said.
The operation, carried out jointly by the police and the Border Security Force (BSF), took place along the Ujh river near Jhathana village, close to the International Border.
Locals reported seeing three suspected individuals, including one carrying a heavy backpack. Acting on this information, the joint search parties began a thorough combing operation early in the morning, news agency PTI reported.
Officials said no suspects have been apprehended so far, though footprints in the area confirmed movement of some persons.
Last week, security forces had conducted a similar cordon-and-search operation in the Malhar area of Kathua district after alleged sightings of two terror suspects.
