Conspiracy of major terrorist attack on Independence Day failed
It is to be known that the security forces have recovered huge amount of arms and ammunition from two underground terrorist hideouts in Avantipora on Thursday, thwarting the plot of major terrorist attack in Kashmir on Independence Day. Four to six people could live together in one hideout, while another was very small. The security forces recovered the weapons and destroyed both the targets.
SSP Avantipora Tahir Salim said that we had come to know about the terrorist plot to carry out a major crime in the Valley on Independence Day, especially in South Kashmir. On the basis of this, we started monitoring suspected people connected to the network of terrorists. Last night we caught two Overground Workers (OGW) from Tral. When he was questioned, he gave information about a Lashkar hideout in Barsu of Avantipora.
He told that terrorists are gathering with common equipment to carry out a major crime. After this, a campaign was carried out with the army. The terrorists’ hideout was found in an orchard with forest at the outer end of Barsu village. This place was built by digging the ground. Just a short distance away from this was another terrorist hideout. The terrorists had fled from these hideouts before the security forces arrived. A search operation is on to nab them.
Items recovered from terrorist bases :
The SSP reported that 1918 cartridges of assault rifle, two hand grenades, one UBGL thrower, four UBGL grenades, five gelatin sticks, two pipe bombs, half a kilo of ammonium nitred, used by terror commanders for mutual interaction during the search of terrorist targets Three sheets, ration, medicines, beds, gas stoves, cylinders and cash of Rs 5400 have also been received in the code language to be done.
Campaign in search of terrorists in Budgam :
The army and police conducted a search operation as soon as the news of three terrorists coming to any of their contacts in Tulsara area of Budgam district in the early hours. The security forces searched all the suspicious houses till noon, but the siege was lifted by security forces with no clue of the terrorists.
Taking cognizance of the conspiracy being hatched by the terrorists in Kashmir to carry out subversive activities on the occasion of Independence Day, the administration has tightened the security system. There is vigil in all the major cities and towns of the Valley including Srinagar. All the grounds of the Valley, including the Shere Kashmir Stadium, have been sealed by security forces where the main function of Independence Day is to be held. The security of all military camps, police stations and other important establishments has also been enhanced. CCTV is also being monitored to monitor mischievous elements.
