Jammu, March 24 (KNS): Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has stated that no contact has been established with militants in Hiranagar so far, even as security forces continue their search operation in the area.
Given Hiranagar's proximity to the border, Abdullah suggested that the suspected militants may have infiltrated from the other side.
Addressing the broader security situation in Jammu & Kashmir, Abdullah emphasized that militancy cannot be eradicated without public cooperation. "Without taking people along, militancy in J&K won’t end," he said, underscoring the importance of community involvement in counterterrorism efforts.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
