Security Forces Eliminate Terrorist in Ongoing Kishtwar Operation
In a significant development in the ongoing counter-terrorism efforts in Jammu and Kashmir, security forces successfully neutralized one terrorist during an encounter on Wednesday evening. The operation, codenamed Operation Trashi-I, took place in the Dichhar area of the Kishtwar region, marking another step in the relentless pursuit of militants hiding in the dense forests and challenging terrain of the area.
Joint Operation Re-Establishes Contact
According to officials, contact was re-established with the terrorists on the run at approximately 5:45 PM on Wednesday. The Army's White Knight Corps confirmed this development in a post on social media platform X, stating that the operation involved a coordinated effort by multiple security agencies.
The post detailed: "In the continuing search and elimination of terrorists in the Kishtwar region, where the hunt has already led to several contacts in the dense forests and challenging terrain, contact was re-established with the terrorists on the run in the ongoing joint Operation Trashi-I by the troops of CIF Delta #WhiteKnightCorps, @JmuKmrPolice and #CRPF."
Operation Continues Amid Challenging Conditions
The security forces have been engaged in this anti-terror operation for some time, facing the difficult topography of the Kishtwar region. The area's dense forests and rugged landscape present significant challenges for military operations, yet the forces have maintained persistent pressure on terrorist elements.
Key aspects of the ongoing operation include:
- Joint coordination between Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and CRPF units
- Multiple contacts established with terrorist groups in the region
- Continuous search operations in difficult terrain
- Strategic elimination of terrorist threats in remote areas
Security Forces Confirm Neutralization
Following the re-established contact, security forces confirmed that one terrorist has been successfully neutralized. The official statement emphasized that the operation remains in progress, with forces continuing their search and elimination efforts in the area.
The White Knight Corps update stated clearly: "One terrorist has been successfully neutralised. Operation is in progress." This confirmation underscores the ongoing nature of counter-terrorism operations in the region, where security forces maintain constant vigilance against terrorist activities.
Background and Significance
Operation Trashi-I represents part of the broader security strategy in Jammu and Kashmir, where multiple agencies work together to combat terrorism. The Kishtwar region has seen increased security operations in recent times, with forces targeting terrorist hideouts and networks operating in remote areas.
Security officials have highlighted several important factors about these operations:
- The challenging terrain requires specialized tactics and equipment
- Joint operations enhance coordination between different security agencies

As the operation continues, security forces remain deployed in the area, conducting thorough searches and maintaining security protocols. Additional details about the identity of the neutralized terrorist and any recovered materials are awaited as the situation develops.
The successful neutralization in Operation Trashi-I demonstrates the effectiveness of coordinated security efforts in Jammu and Kashmir, where multiple agencies work together to maintain peace and security in challenging operational environments.
