Recent developments in the Kishtwar region have also influenced the security strategies. The local police have intensified their efforts to apprehend four wanted terrorists believed to be operating in the Doda region. SSP Mehta shared that a reward of Rs. 5 lakh has been announced for credible information leading to the capture of these individuals. The wanted terrorists, identified as Saifullah, Farman, Adil, and a fourth suspect named Basha, are considered a serious threat. The Kishtwar police have requested the public’s assistance, ensuring the confidentiality of any informers.

This intensified security protocol comes after the Jammu and Kashmir Police released posters of the four active terrorists on January 18, urging the public to share information. The police remain committed to ensuring a peaceful and secure environment for the upcoming national celebrations.
