Security forces have initiated a significant anti-terror operation in Godhar Khalsa village, Reasi district, following a shopkeeper’s report of suspicious individuals in the area.
Jammu – Security forces have launched a comprehensive anti-terror operation in Godhar Khalsa village, located in Reasi district, after a local shopkeeper reported a late-night encounter with suspected individuals in a nearby forest.
The incident occurred around 1:55 a.m. when the shopkeeper was returning home after closing his store. He recounted that the suspects approached him, took some pears he was carrying, and instructed him to leave without causing him any harm. “Their presence was suspicious, and I immediately informed the police,” he stated.
In response to the shopkeeper’s report, the Jammu and Kashmir Police, in collaboration with other security agencies, cordoned off the village at first light. They launched an intensive search operation aimed at identifying and neutralizing any potential terrorist presence in the area.
Godhar Khalsa is situated along the Jammu–Poonch Highway and is not far from the Line of Control (LoC)-facing Sunderbani sector, a route historically used for infiltration.
Following the recent Operation Sindoor, which targeted multiple terrorist launch pads and airbases in Pakistan, security forces have increased surveillance across Jammu and Kashmir. They are conducting aggressive search-and-destroy missions in suspected militant hideouts in Rajouri, Poonch, Reasi, and other vulnerable areas.
A senior police officer emphasized the clarity of their mission: “No movement corridor will be left unchecked. If terrorists are in the area, they will be traced and neutralized.”
The operation in Godhar Khalsa is ongoing, with additional reinforcements deployed and all exit routes sealed to prevent any potential escape of suspects.
