Pulwama: Militants on Monday evening gave slip to government forces before firing some gun shots in South Kashmir’s Pulwama district, some 30 kms from state’s summer capital Srinagar.
Official sources told GNS said acting on a tip off, a joint team of army’s 42 and 3 Rashtriya Rifles (RR) and Special Group of Police (SOG) laid a cordon around a residential house at Dadsara village of Tral.
