The Special Investigation Unit (SIU) of Jammu and Kashmir Police are conducting raids in the entire Pulwama on Tuesday.

In the past nine months, security forces have observed the illegal entry of 191 drones into Indian territory from neighbouring Pakistan, raising major concerns in terms of internal security in the country.
