National Desk, 9th October: Militants in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district reportedly abducted a Territorial Army (TA) soldier, triggering a major search operation by security forces.
The soldier was kidnapped from a heavily forested region in Anantnag, where he and another TA soldier were captured by militants.
While one soldier managed to escape and return safely, the whereabouts of the second jawan remain uncertain.
In response, security forces swiftly launched a large-scale search operation, deploying additional personnel to comb through the dense forests in the area.
This abduction has heightened tensions in Anantnag, where militant activities have surged in recent months.
Local residents have voiced concerns over the increasing frequency of attacks targeting security personnel.
Notably, security forces remain on high alert as efforts continue to trace the missing soldier and ensure his safe return.
