GANDERBAL, NOV 10(SM): In a major crackdown against the terror ecosystem in Jammu and Kashmir, the Ganderbal Police detained 39 individuals during a series of coordinated raids across multiple locations in the district, officials said on Monday.
According to police, the searches were carried out at the residences of J&K Nationals Operating from Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (JKNOPs) and surrendered or former militants. Following credible inputs indicating their involvement in activities detrimental to public peace and security, all 39 were detained under preventive measures and lodged in Dignibal Jail.
