Civilian, terrorist killed in Pampore operation; another terrorist surrendered

In a review meeting of the border security situation, interior minister Rajnath Singh met senior defence officials, including defence minister, national security advisor and intelligence bureau chief in the capital today.&nbsp;

They discussed fresh intelligence on the rise in infiltration bids from across the Line of Control and the movement along the Rajasthan border&nbsp;after forces killed two terrorists in Pampore district in a three-day security operation.&nbsp;

A gun battle between the security forces and militants holed up in a government building in Pampore, Kashmir ended after 56 hours with two armed militants being shot dead.&nbsp;

The army searched all 50 rooms of the Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI) complex before calling off the operation.&nbsp;

One militant was killed on Tuesday evening and the other was shot dead by the security forces today, an army official said.&nbsp;

New Delhi suspects the militants to be Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives. LeT, an outlawed militant group headed by Hafiz Saeed, is believed to have terror camps in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

Indian media reports suggested the militants were planning to stage attacks on Indian Army installations in Kashmir.

According to reports, the militants entered from the&nbsp;rear of the government building early on Monday morning. The gunmen, who were first sighted by a staffer at the building, opened fire at 5 am.

Indian security forces soon rounded the building and &quot;used heavy weapons&quot; to end the days-long siege, a senior police officer supervising the operation told The Times of India.

Elite Para commandos of the army&nbsp;were also called in to neutralise the militants, the official said. One army soldier was also injured in the initial exchange of fire, an official said.&nbsp;

On Wednesday, the forces entered the building to flush out the lone surviving militant despite being initially hesitant to do so. They were wary because a similar operation in February had resulted in the loss of five security personnel.

Militants had assailed the same building, which is otherwise used to provide vocational&nbsp;training to Kashmiris, in February.&nbsp;

The operation has reduced the multi-storey building to a skeleton after many of its walls were blown up.
