In a significant success for the security forces in their push for cleaning out Kashmir Valley's terror-infested Shopian district, they on Sunday (26 July) busted a military hideout and seized scores of arms and ammunition, reports Economic Times.
The hideout was located in an orchard in Dachoo area of Shopian district. The security forces have been able to garner incriminating materials from the location. The Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Police has already registered a case in the matter.
Weaponry and equipment seized by the security forces from the said hideout include two UBGL grenades, three grenades, one AK-47 magazine, 20 AK rounds and also a set of ICOM radio.
The move comes the very same day when Inspector General of Police (IGP) Vijay Kumar had announced that no resident of Srinagar is now serving at any rank of any terrorist organisation. This was achieved after last such terrorist, a top Lashkar-e-Taiba commander identified as Ishfaq Rashid Khan from Srinagar was gunned down by the forces in an encounter.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
