Srinagar: Ground reports from Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir continue to contradict New Delhi's persistent claims that 'normalcy' has returned to the region, particularly after the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A.

Fresh incidents - including two commandos going missing during an operation in the dense Gadole forest area of Kokernag, Islamabad, and adjoining Kishtwar district, as well as clashes in Rajouri's Beeranthub region - have reaffirmed that the territory remains under siege and far from stable.

Sources revealed that two elite commandos from the Indian Army's 5 Para unit disappeared during an attack in South Kashmir's Kokernag area. Search operations involving drones and helicopters are underway, though reports suggest that the soldiers were captured by mujahideen.
