Overview
- Two men wearing shawls knocked on a house in Talot village late Monday night asking for food, stayed silent when questioned, and then walked toward the Khuban area, which alarmed residents who called police.
- Joint teams of Jammu and Kashmir Police and the CRPF cordoned Talot and carried out door-to-door searches of houses, fields and nearby forest patches under senior officers’ supervision.
- The operation expanded into neighbouring Reasi and Kathua districts with searches in the Sadini forest and border villages in the Hiranagar sector near the International Border.
- Officials say search operations are ongoing and security has been tightened in vulnerable villages, and no arrests or confirmed identifications have been reported so far.
- Heightened local reporting and routine counter-infiltration procedures drive these actions, and residents should expect increased vehicle checks and patrols until investigations conclude.
