An army spokesperson told NewsBlaze that Indian army and police personnel launched a combing operation at Dardpora, Bandipora in North Kashmir Wednesday morning after receiving information that militants were hiding in the area. He said that after plugging off all the possible escape routes, the soldiers zeroed-in on a residential house and asked the militants present inside to surrender.
