Meanwhile, in Anantnag, police, in cooperation with other security units, uncovered a terrorist hideout in Sanglan's forest area. The discovery yielded arms and ammunition, crucially impacting terrorist logistics.

Sundeep affirmed strict accountability for any attempts to orchestrate terrorism from Pakistan, vowing to eliminate illegal encroachments linked to terrorism. The Anantnag operation led to significant seizures, underlining security forces' readiness to prevent militant resurgence in the region.
