Security forces were engaged in day-long twin encounters with four terrorists holed up at two places near the under-construction Mini Secretariat in Poonch town since Sunday morning.
The fire fight broke out near the Mini Secretariat building close to Army’s 93 Brigade headquarters, Poonch district and a house in Allahpir Mohalla in the town around 7.30 AM on Sunday.
“Four militants are involved in the two encounters at two different locations”, Director General of Police Rajendra Kumar had said.
A civilian couple were safely evacuated from the house in which militants had taken shelter last evening, police said.
The authorities had used drones to track down militants in the Mini Secretariat complex and other places.
