August 21, 2023

Srinagar: Militants likely to have given slip to security forces on Monday morning from Parigam area of South Kashmir’s Pulwama district.

A top police officer told GNS that as the searches were resumed this morning at the encounter site, no militant was found as even drone service was used.

Presumably, militants likely took advantage of darkness and managed to escape since it is vast paddy field, the officer added.

There was a brief exchange of fire between militants and security forces yesterday and afterwards operation was suspended the night.

Beigh Irshad

I m a researcher, writer and Journalist. I am a Kashmir based Journalist. Journalism is my passion and I can never think of doing anything else in my life. I am a first-generationn Journalist in my family and have practically devoted the best years of my life to this passion. I was born and brought up in the most beautiful prison in the world ( Kashmir ). I love reading fiction and autobiographies and writing stories religiously every day. Some of my stories and write ups can even be google searched (Isueye). I only compete with myself, no one else. Also, I am the biggest animal lover of all times. I idolise my Mom but love myself for my oratorial skills. That is my best asset. I never really plan things in life because I know it's ultimately going to prevail. So I take things easy in life...
