In addition to the arrests, security forces have been conducting extensive search operations and maintaining area dominance across the fringe and vulnerable zones of hill and valley districts to curb illegal activities.
Authorities ensured the safe movement of 301 vehicles along NH-37 and 336 vehicles along NH-2 under strict security escort to maintain the flow of essential goods.
