The importance of coastal security was acknowledged long ago. In the evolving world, types of threats have diversified.
A Pakistani terrorist from the proscribed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant group was killed in an encounter in Kashmir’s Kulgam district, police said on Sunday.
“One Pakistani terrorist (Haider) of LeT terror outfit and a local terrorist trapped in on-going encounter. Haider was active in North Kashmir for more than two years and involved in several terror crimes,” the Jammu and Kashmir Police said in a tweet citing Inspector General, Kashmir zone, Vijay Kumar.
A joint team of the police and the security forces cordoned off the Cheyan Devsar area and launched a search operation on the basis of specific information about the presence of terrorists.
