In a significant operation on November 2, 2024, security forces in Anantnag, Jammu and Kashmir, engaged in a fierce encounter that led to the elimination of three terrorists. The operation was carried out by a joint team comprising the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). The encounter erupted in the Halkan Gali area, a known hotspot for terrorist activity, where forces acted on credible intelligence regarding the presence of militants.
During the operation, two terrorists were confirmed dead, with one identified as a foreign national. The third terrorist was neutralized later in Srinagar, where another encounter was ongoing. Reports indicate that two CRPF personnel and two police officers sustained injuries during the conflict, but their conditions have been stabilized. This operation is part of a broader strategy to counteract the rising tide of militancy in the region, which has seen a series of violent incidents since the establishment of a new government in Jammu and Kashmir
