In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian forces continued their intensified cordon and search operations in Kathua district on third consecutive day today.   

Indian army commandos, drones and sniffer dogs are being used during the operation.        

Meanwhile, families of the victims of Pathribal fake encounter still await justice on 25th anniversary of the incident. They urged the United Nations to send a team to prob the killings.    

On this day in 2000, Indian troops had killed five people in a fake encounter in Pathribal and later killed eight more people who were peacefully protesting against these killings.
