KULGAM — Jammu and Kashmir’s Director General of Police (DGP) RR Swain said that six militants have been killed in twin encounters in the southern district of Kulgam while the operation was still going on at one of the sites. He termed the killing of six militants as a “milestone achievement.”
“So far, bodies of six terrorists have been recovered. There were two encounters at two separate places. The killing of six terrorists is obviously a milestone achievement,” DGP told reporters as per the news agency KNO here, adding that “operation at one of the sites was still on.”
Two soldiers have also been killed in the Kulgam gunfights. “Since the operation is on at one place, it is not clear to which outfit the slain terrorists belonged. There is a possibility of the presence of local terrorists as well. Once the operation is fully over, we will be able to find out the identities and affiliations of slain terrorists.”
He said with the successful operation in Kulgam followed by the active support of people, it seems that “we will be able to take this fight to its logical conclusion soon even though the enemy won’t stop from its activities.”
Two encounters broke out in Kulgam’s Chinigam Frisal and Modergam villages yesterday (Saturday) afternoon.
About the Jammu situation, he said there was a security situation in the region but now things are different altogether. “There was an attempt to revive terrorism but they can’t do that. There is no atmosphere of revival of terrorism or its eco-system in Jammu. Hope the peaceful atmosphere will continue in the region,” he said.
