Tribune News Service

Rajouri, September 19
The army’s search-and-destroy operation, following reports of four militants roaming around in the forest area of Lerya near Sunderbani, came to an end without any success today. The operation which started last evening continued today as well.
The vehicular traffic along the Jammu-Poonch national highway remained disrupted for about two hours during the search operation in the neighboring forests lying along the highway.
Army sources divulged that following the inputs from the locals that four militants were roaming around in the forest area of Lerya at around 4 pm on Thursday, troops from the Akhnoor Division launched the operation in the forest area.
Meanwhile, army sources said the operation had been suspended for the moment but they would continue to track the hiding group. They added that the militants might be targeting the national highway, in view of the increased political activity ahead of the forthcoming elections in the state.
