Rajouri Anti Terror Operation Enters Fourteenth Day as Security Forces Tighten Cordon

RAJOURI, June 6, 2026 — A joint anti-terror operation conducted by the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and CRPF has entered its fourteenth day in the dense forests of Gambhir Mughlan and Dorimal within the Manjakote sector of Rajouri district.

Codename Operation Sheruwali, the mission was launched following precise intelligence inputs indicating the presence of suspected terrorists hiding in the region, prompting security forces to establish an impenetrable cordon to prevent any escape attempts through the thick forest cover.

The high-stakes operation reached a critical stage on May 28 when heavy firing and shelling erupted in the Dorimal forest area as forces tightened their perimeter. In response to the active engagement, a massive deployment of additional reinforcements and logistical support was rushed to the encounter site to maintain strict surveillance over the designated zones.

Security personnel are actively conducting intensive search and combing operations deep inside the forest belt while simultaneously verifying the identity cards of travelers and locals along regional transit routes.Navigating the highly challenging terrain and thick foliage has increased the complexity of the mission, requiring tactical teams to proceed with extreme caution.

Security agencies are leveraging all available tracking resources to monitor the movements of the suspects and eliminate the threat. Officials confirmed that heightened security measures and restricted access to specific sectors will remain in place, and the sweeping search operations will continue until the entire area is fully sanitized and secured.
