An encounter erupted between terrorists and security forces in the South Kashmir's Pulwama district on Friday, officials said.
The gunfight started after a joint team of the police and the army cordoned off the Awantipora area and launched a search operation on the basis of specific information about the presence of terrorists. As the security forces zeroed in on the spot where terrorists were hiding, they came under a fire that triggered the encounter. "Encounter has started at Nowbugh Tral area of Awantipora. Police and security forces are on the job," the police said. --IANS zi/ksk/ ( 105 Words) 2021-04-09-08:02:04 (IANS)
