The terrorist’s body has been recovered along with two AK-47 rifles, according to an Army spokesperson
One infiltrator was killed as the Army spotted a group of individuals near the Line of Control (LoC) on Thursday in the Pir Panjal valley’s Poonch district.
“The alert troops challenged the infiltrators, and the terrorists fired on the troops. Following the fight, one terrorist’s body has been recovered along with two AK-47 rifles, one pistol and other war-like stores in the Poonch Sector,” a Jammu-based Army spokesperson said.
The Army said the alert soldiers of the Indian Army observed suspicious movement along the LoC in the Poonch sector (J&K) around 10 a.m. “They (infiltrators) were trying to infiltrate across the LoC into the Indian side,” the Army said.
The operation continues and the search of the area is in progress, the Army added.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
