Two Special Police Officers have gone missing in Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir, prompting authorities to launch an extensive search operation in the region. According to official sources, the SPOs were en route from Kiyar camp to an Army post located at Dharna-Marwah when they failed to arrive at their destination.
The disappearance was reported after the officers did not reach the designated Army post at the expected time. Authorities were immediately notified of their absence, triggering search and rescue efforts across the area.
Security forces have intensified operations in Kishtwar, a district that has witnessed periodic militant activity. The circumstances surrounding the officers' disappearance remain under investigation as officials work to trace their whereabouts.
The region's challenging terrain and security situation have added complexity to the search operations. Authorities have deployed multiple teams to comb through the area between the two locations where the SPOs were last tracked.
