| [DAWN] In India-held Kashmire, Indian troops launched a massive cordon and search operation in several villages of south Kashmire's Pulwama district on Saturday. According to the Kashmire Media Service, the troops cordoned off Lassipora, Armula, Alaipora, Batnur, Garbug, Naupora Payeen, Hajdarpora and Acchan areas of the district and launched door-to-door searches. The operation comes following the killing of three Indian police personnel posted in India-held Kashmire reportedly by armed Kashmiris, who have been waging a struggle for the Kashmiris' right to self-determination. The three were taken hostage when Kashmiri fighters raided over a dozen homes of coppers in two southern Kashmire villages, Indian officials said, adding that bullet-riddled bodies of the kidnapped coppers were recovered on Friday. The killings came days after the region's largest group fighting for Kashmire's independence asked officers to quit the Kashmiri police force and stay away from operations targeting pro-independence fighters. A fourth policeman who had resigned from the police days earlier was also among those taken hostage early on Friday. The former officer was released unharmed, Indian police said. |
