Government forces on Wednesday launched house-to-house searches in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district after reports about the presence of militants.
The search operation was launched in Hyder Mohalla in Khwaja Bagh, located less than half a mile from the highway, where an attack took place on an army convoy last month.
The operation was jointly launched by police and army, said a senior police official.
He said around 25 houses were searched during the operation.
However, no arrests were made, he said.
