Surprise inspection conducted at Rajouri jail

Rajouri, Nov 10: In a major move under the ongoing efforts to dismantle the terror ecosystem in Jammu and Kashmir, a massive surprise inspection and search operation was carried out on Monday at District Jail Rajouri, located in Dhangri.

The joint exercise was conducted by Jammu and Kashmir Police, jail authorities, and the CID-CI wing of J&K Police, in the presence of an Executive Magistrate.

According to official sources, the teams comprising Police, CID-CI, and CAPF personnel — with assistance from jail authorities — carried out a thorough inspection inside the jail premises to detect any suspicious activity or material. The jail currently houses several individuals booked or arrested in terror-related cases.

An area domination operation was also conducted in the periphery of the jail to ensure external security and to rule out any possible external linkages or threats.

It is pertinent to mention that in the last 72 hours, security forces have intensified their operations across Jammu and Kashmir as part of a larger crackdown on the terror ecosystem.

Multiple raids have been carried out at the residences of terror sympathizers, overground workers (OGWs), and associates of local terrorist modules operating from across the Line of Control (LoC).

Authorities said such measures are part of a sustained campaign aimed at curbing terrorism and its support networks within the Union Territory.
