Security forces have stepped up anti-militancy operations in Doda district for the fifth consecutive day. Sniffer dogs have been deployed at multiple nakas to enhance checking of vehicles and individuals. The intensified operations are underway across several parts of Doda district, focusing on tracking any suspected cross-border movement. Sources said that dozens of houses belonging to families with members active across the Line of Control have been searched thoroughly. SSP Doda Sandeep Mehta: “Security has been tightened across the district, and a strict vigil is being maintained on all suspicious persons and movements.” The security build-up follows the recent Delhi car blasts and multiple recoveries of arms and ammunition across the Union Territory. Security agencies remain on high alert to prevent any untoward incident in the region. With continuous search operations and strict surveillance, security forces are leaving no stone unturned to ensure peace and stability in Doda district.
