INVC NEWS Jammu and Kashmir – A sweeping counter-terror operation is underway across multiple districts in North and Central Kashmir, as the State Investigation Agency (SIA) of the Jammu and Kashmir Police intensifies its efforts to dismantle suspected terror networks. Early Saturday morning, raids were launched in Sopore, Baramulla, Handwara, Ganderbal, and Srinagar, targeting individuals and locations believed to be linked to ongoing terror-related investigations.
Sources within the security apparatus revealed that the latest operation was triggered by credible intelligence received late Friday night, pointing to the movement of suspected terrorist elements in the region. Acting swiftly on the inputs, SIA teams, backed by local police and paramilitary forces, carried out coordinated searches to intercept any threats and gather critical evidence tied to prior terror cases.
According to officials, these raids form part of a broader strategy aimed at dismantling the underground terror ecosystem that may be operating under the radar in sensitive districts. Digital devices, documents, and other materials have reportedly been seized during the early phases of the operation, although no official confirmation has been provided regarding arrests.
In a parallel development, a joint search operation has been launched in the Samba district, located in the southern part of Jammu and Kashmir. Security forces intensified their presence in a local village after suspicious activity linked to terrorism was observed, raising concerns of a potential infiltration attempt or sleeper cell activation.
The security grid across the region remains on high alert, as intelligence agencies continue monitoring both domestic and cross-border channels that could be facilitating terrorist activities. With Kashmir often at the center of regional unrest, such proactive operations are seen as crucial in maintaining internal security and thwarting radical elements before they can mobilize.
As the raids progress, security forces are expected to expand their area of coverage and maintain a firm presence to ensure that anti-national elements are neutralized swiftly. These developments underscore the heightened vigilance of Indian security agencies in curbing terror threats and preserving peace across Jammu and Kashmir.
