J-K: Heavy firing in Dorimal forest in Rajouri as 'Operation Sheruwali' enters crucial phase
Rajouri, May 28
Heavy firing and shelling erupted in Rajouri's Dorimal forest area on Thursday as Operation Sheruwali reached a critical stage, with security forces tightening the cordon to neutralise suspected militants hiding in the dense terrain.
According to officials, a massive deployment of security forces, along with additional reinforcements and logistical support, has been rushed to the encounter site to ensure a "strong and impenetrable cordon" and to prevent any attempt by militants to escape through the thick forest cover.
The operation is being carried out on a large scale, with officials stating that "every possible effort" is being made to neutralise the hiding militants. The entire area remains under strict security surveillance as search and combing operations continue deep inside the forest belt.
Meanwhile, the cordon and search operation jointly launched by the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the forest areas of Gambhir Mughlan and Dorimal in the Manjakote sector of Rajouri district has entered its sixth day.
The operation was launched following specific intelligence inputs regarding the presence of suspected terrorists hiding in the area. Security forces continue to maintain a tight perimeter as efforts are underway to flush out the militants from the dense forest region.
Operation Sheruwali is a major joint counter-terrorism operation launched by the Indian Army, Jammu & Kashmir Police, and the CRPF in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir. It is carried out to track down and neutralise suspected terrorists hiding in dense forest terrain.

It's good to see such coordinated efforts by the Army, Police, and CRPF. Dense forests in J&K are tough terrain, but our forces are well-trained. Hope this operation ends quickly with minimal casualties. Stay strong, India.
Hats off to the security personnel for their relentless efforts over six days. But I wonder—how much more time will it take for peace to truly return to our border areas? The local civilians must be living in constant fear. 😔
Finally, a decisive operation! Enough of cross-border terrorism being tolerated. India must send a strong message—zero tolerance for militants. Salute to our jawans who are braving the jungle and hostile conditions. 🙏
Six days is a long time for a cordon operation. I hope the intelligence inputs were accurate and not just a wild goose chase. These operations cost crores—we need results, not just media hype. Respect to the forces, but efficiency matters too.
It's heartbreaking that even after decades, our soldiers have to fight these hide-and-seek battles in our own land. The international community must take note of Pakistan's continued support for terrorism. Proud of our forces—stay safe, jawans. 🇮🇳
