Srinagar: Militants likely to have given slip to armed forces on Monday morning from Parigam area of south Kashmir’s Pulwama district.

A top police officer said that as the searches were resumed this morning at the operation site, no militant was found as even drone service was used.

Presumably, militants likely took advantage of darkness and managed to escape since it is vast paddy field, the officer added.

There was a brief exchange of fire between militants and armed forces yesterday and afterwards operation was suspended the night. (GNS)
