Police said the operation is still going on.

" #Encounter has started at Kwarigam, Ranipora area of #Anantnag. Police and security forces are on the job. Further details shall follow. @JmuKmrPolice," read another tweet.

According to a police spokesman, troops of Rashtriya Rifles (RR), Special Operation Group (SOG) of Jammu and Kashmir police launched a joint Cordoned and Search Operation (CASO) at Kwarigam, Ranipora Anantnag today.
