Srinagar/UNI: A Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) was resumed with the first light by security forces on Wednesday after brief encounter with militants at Tral in south Kashmir district of Pulwama.

Meanwhile, mobile internet has been suspended for security reasons in Pulwama.

Official sources said that on a tip off about presence of militants, a joint CASO was launched by Special Operations Group (SOG) of J&K police, Army and CRPF at Bilalabad area near Tral town in Pulwama.

However, they further said when security forces were moving towards a particular area, militants, hiding there, fired at them with automatic weapons.
