4 newly-recruited militants trapped in Shopian, efforts on to make them surrender: Police

Srinagar, May 6: At least four newly recruited militants were trapped amid a cordon-and-search operation in the Kenigam area of the Shopian district, officials said on Thursday.

A senior police officer told GNS that efforts are underway to make them surrender. “We have brought their families and are trying to persuade them to surrender,” the officer said. He responded negatively to reports about gunfight having started.

Last night, police, the army’s 44 Rashtriya Rifles, and CRPF had launched a cordoned and search operation in the area amid specific information about the presence of militants. (GNS)
