Jammu, January 20 (HS): Amid the high profile visit of Union Ministers in Jammu and Kashmir, security forces have neutralised three terrorists in an encounter in South Kashmir on Monday. The gunfight broke out in the morning hours in Shopian district of Jammu & Kashmir after receiving inputs, a joint team of the Army, CRPF and J&K police had launched a combing operation in the area against militants.
The encounter took place when the first batch of Union Ministers has been dispatched to J&K by the Narendra Modi government as part of its outreach programme. The Ministers have been tasked by the Centre to visit villages in both Jammu and the Muslim-dominated Valley to explain the benefits of abrogating Article 370 — the Constitutional provision which guaranteed semi-autonomous state to Jammu & Kashmir.
