The Army Chief will visit Bhimber Gali on the Rajouri-Poonch road, where four soldiers were killed on October 14 in an exchange of fire with the militants. The first exchange between the soldiers and the terrorists was in the Dehra ki Gali area in Poonch district on October 11. Five Army personnel, including a JCO, were martyred during the operations.
This is the deadliest encounter in the area in the past 17 years. The Poonch operation entered the eighth day on Monday, making it the longest in Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370.
The operation to hunt down the militants has so far met with little success. The Army deployed illuminating bombs to light up the forested and treacherous terrain, as well as para commandos, drones and a helicopter. Police and the Army have cordoned off the area to ensure the militants don't escape.
