Jammu, Apr 28: Police have conducted searches at the premises of several terrorists operating from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and their associates in Doda and Kishtwar districts of Jammu and Kashmir, official sources said.

Extensive searches are being carried out at the residences of terrorists and their associates in connection with ongoing investigations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), the sources said.

Police teams conducted searches at the premises of several individuals believed to be connected to terror groups and those operating from PoK in Doda and Kishtwar districts on Monday, they added.
