Army orders ops without casualties in Gurez

20 July 2005: Determined not to have a single casualty in the on-going Gurez, Jammu and Kashmir, operations against some fifty Pakistani infiltrator terrorists, the army chief, General J.J.Singh, has ordered them to be surrounded by three battalions of troops, cut off their logistics and radio communications, and force them out.

Officials said that the Indian Army has communicated to the Pakistanis not to intervene in Gurez with logistic supplies or radio instructions, because that could potentially escalate the hostilities, and the Pakistan army has apparently disowned the intruders.

Being extremely inhospitable, the Gurez sector is hard to fight in or hold without logistics, and the terrorists hidden within caves are being monitored by IAF UAVs and helicopter gunships, while the army has cut off their supplies.

The fencing in the Gurez sector was either cut through by the terrorists or collapsed, and they were eventually detected by intercepted radio communication, and their positions located after they fired on reconnaissance UAVs.
