Amid heavy snowfall and extreme cold, the Indian Army's Romeo Force has intensified search and surveillance operations in the Pir Panjal ranges of Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir, operating at altitudes above 13,000 feet. These operations aim to thwart infiltration attempts and counterterrorism efforts, even during the harshest winter phase. The army is maintaining a proactive winter posture, establishing posts in snowbound areas to exert continuous pressure on potential threats, including Pakistani terrorists exploiting the season for concealment.
