On the other hand, the Rangers completing their operation on around ‘Kati Pahari’ have taken full control of the vintage points at hilltops from where the brute killers had wreaked havocs by showering rains of bullets for four consecutive days on the inhabitants living peacefully down the hills in their hutments and houses.
Rangers have also set up checkpoints in the affected areas besides commandos have also been posted and patrolling the areas. Reports said that heavy arms cache was recovered during the operation. The Rangers went on rescuing the men, women and children besieged over there by the militants for four days without water, electricity and food to eat.
