Furthermore, on November 8, in a major operation aimed at dismantling the ecosystem of terror and subversive activities in the district, Kulgam Police also launched a massive crackdown on Jammu and Kashmir nationals operating from Pakistan/Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
Acting on specific intelligence inputs by the central agencies, multiple Cordon and Search Operations (CASOs) were also carried out in several parts of the district. The search operations targeted individuals involved in facilitating, funding, and promoting terror activities at the behest of their relatives currently based across the border, reports ANI.
