Operation Hamam Markut

 
 

A Rashtriya Rifle battalion deployed in the area of Rafiabad has been actively involved in fighting militancy in the area and has achieved success. Militancy in notorious Rafiabad is controlled very effectively by this unit.

On July 14 last a patrol operating in the Hamam Markut forest discovered a hideout of the militants and recovered ration and clothing. Consequently, a detailed search was carried out on subsequent days in the Humam Markut forest area of Rafiabad which resulted in the discovery of arms ammunition, explosives and ration. This operation also resulted in the killing of a foreign terrorist. This was apparently a major hideout of the terrorists in this area. Col K Krishnan said that the success was the result of the relentless patrolling and area domination carried out effectively by the unit. The items which were recovered from terrorists included RPG, AK-47, revolvers, pistols, RPG rounds, anti-tank rifles grenades, communication sets and logistic goods.
