Incriminating materials, arms and ammunition were recovered from them. The encounter had started on Thursday (November 7) evening following an intelligence-based operation launched by security forces.
People took to the streets in various areas of Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district to protest against the killings of two Village Defence Guards by terrorists.

Hundreds gathered in the Drabshalla area of the district, burning tyres and blocking roads. They raised slogans against Pakistan and terrorists, and chanted Bharat Mata Ki Jai.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
