- SRINAGAR — Authorities in Kashmir have launched a massive crackdown on
terrorists and their sympathisers in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror
attack, razing homes of the ultras, raiding their safe havens and detaining
hundreds of overground workers for questioning, officials said on Saturday.
-
- The security forces are going after the known terrorist
associates and their sympathisers across the length and breadth of the Valley,
with an aim to create a deterrent against any Pahalgam-like attacks, the
officials said. Terrorists on Tuesday opened fire in Baisaran, a popular
tourist spot in the upper reaches of Pahalgam in Anantnag district, killing 26
people, mostly holidayers from other states.
-
- Houses of five terrorists or their associates have been
demolished in the past 48 hours with officials saying similar action will be
taken against others involved in terror activities.
-
- Mysterious blasts blew up the houses of two active
terrorists -- Aadil Thoker in the Bijbehara area of Anantnag district and Asif
Sheikh in the Tral area of Pulwama district.
