A search operation carried out in the Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir by the Indian Army after it noticed suspicious movement along the Line of Control (LoC) entered its fourth day on Wednesday. The telephone and internet services have been reinstated, the officials said.
The combing operation was launched on the night of September 18, and all telecommunication facilities in the town near the international border were suspended on Monday as a precautionary measure, officials stated.
A defence spokesperson here said the search operation was underway but refused to give out details. Officials said one soldier had sustained injuries in initial contact with the adversary near the fence along the LoC, which had prompted the massive search operation to ensure that the infiltrators do not get to sneak into the hinterland.
The region where the suspicious movement was observed falls near Gohalan, the same place from where the attack on Uri soldiers was launched by terrorists in September 2016.
