Srinagar, September 21

A combing operation launched by the Army after it detected suspicious movement in Uri along the Line of Control in J&K entered the third day on Tuesday, officials said.

All telecommunication facilities including internet in the border town remained suspended. A defence spokesman here said the search operation was going on in the area but did not elaborate if the forces had found anything to lend credence to the reports of major infiltration bid in the sector.

Officials said one soldier had sustained injuries in the “initial contact” with the adversary near the fence along the Line of Control, which had prompted the massive search operation to ensure that the infiltrators, if any, do not get to the hinterland. — PTI
