Srinagar- In a series of coordinated operations across multiple districts, Jammu and Kashmir Police have launched a valley-wide crackdown on terror networks and anti-national elements, conducting simultaneous cordon and search operations (CASOs) in Anantnag, Pulwama, Awantipora, Shopian, and Baramulla.

The intensified drive, carried out in close coordination with security forces, aims to dismantle terror support structures, trace individuals involved in subversive activities, and strengthen the security grid across the Kashmir Valley.

In Anantnag, police teams conducted raids at Lal Chowk and near District Jail Kheribal, targeting suspected JKNOP-linked operatives and individuals accused under UAPA. Several premises were searched, identities verified, and movements of suspected persons closely monitored, officials said.

In Pulwama, police carried out third consecutive day of operations, raiding multiple suspected locations associated with JKNOP and other terror associates. The searches focused on dismantling sleeper cells and preventing regrouping of networks involved in aiding terrorism.

Similar operations were conducted in Awantipora, where police raided locations linked to recent encounters and killed terrorists, including the residences of their associates. The searches were part of sustained efforts to identify active and inactive terror operatives and remove their support base.

In Shopian, police continued searches and raids for the third straight day across various areas to disrupt the terror ecosystem, while in Baramulla, a massive preventive crackdown was carried out to choke financial and logistical channels aiding militants.

According to officials, 16 properties linked with Pakistan-based Kashmiri natives were searched, while 23 Over Ground Worker (OGW) locations were raided. At least 31 individuals were bound down under preventive laws for aiding or supporting anti-national activities.
