‘Op Sheruwali’ Enters 28th Day as Search Operations Continue in Rajouri Forests

Rajouri, Jun 19: Operation Sheruwali entered its 28th day on Friday in the dense Dorimal forests of the Gambir Mughlan area in the Manjakote sector of Rajouri district, making it one of the longest-running counter-terror operations in the region.

Security forces have intensified search and cordon operations in the rugged forest terrain, where steep slopes, rocky hills and dense vegetation continue to pose operational challenges. Troops remain on high alert and are carrying out extensive searches to track any suspicious movement.

Additional surveillance and area domination measures are also underway as part of the multi-agency operation launched in late May to locate and neutralise armed infiltrators believed to be hiding in the Dorimal-Gambir Mughlan forest belt.

Officials said the prolonged operation reflects the security forces’ sustained efforts to maintain peace and security in the border district of Rajouri. Search operations in the area are continuing. (Agencies)
