Three days after an attack on the Jammu Air Force station, police have started a door-to-door 'search operation' in the localities adjoining this highly sensitive defence formation. Special squads have been constituted to conduct intense surveys and verifications in all the areas adjoining the Air Force station to identify suspects. Door-to-door verifications have been started in Chatha, Bhor Camp, Belicharana, Doda Basti, Mandal-Phalian, Narwal, and Rani Bagh areas.
Special operation of Group of Police is conducting 'search operation'
Sleuths of the Special Operation Group (SoG) of J&K Police have been deployed to conduct this 'search operation' in the vicinity of the Air Force station to identify suspects. During door-to-door operations, cops are verifying the antecedents of all residents and their tenants. Cops are trying to find out whether any outsider is living in these areas and also trying to gather all information about family members of the people living in particular areas.
OGWs hiding in sensitive areas
Sources said that intelligence agencies have got some inputs that Over Ground Workers (OGWs) have been hiding in localities adjoining Air Force station. "It is believed that some OGWs are living in these localities in rented accommodation, so authorities have asked all people to get verifications of their tenants", sources said, adding, "within a couple of days this door-to-door verification exercise will be completed."
