Elite Para-toppers of the Indian Army have been airdropped in the Gangbal forest areas of Ganderbal district in central Kashmir to hunt down hidden militants who reportedly infiltrated from Pakistan. Earlier, two suspected terrorists were killed which led the Indian Army to launch a massive man-hunt in the jungles of Kashmir.
“The choppers were pressed into the service and Para-commandos airdropped after the militants were besieged,” said SSP Poswal. “It was not possible to send the reinforcement on time otherwise,” he said.
The Para-toppers of the Indian Army spread were quickly mobilized after forces suspectec the presence of large terror groups who have infiltrated from the LoC.
