With the killing of four militants of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), including a ‘District Commander’, senior officials of Jammu and Kashmir on January 30 declared the Kulgam district of south Kashmir as a "militancy-free zone", according to Daily Excelsior. Inspector General of Police (Kashmir Zone), Shiv Morari Sahai, held a press conference at Bijbehara to declare the Kulgam-Arwani belt as a militancy-free area. He said that the security forces had laid siege to a cluster of residential houses at Batpora, near Arwani, and began search for a group of militants hiding in the locality. Four Kashmiri militants of the HM group were hiding at the house of one Mohammad Maqbool Malik. In the ensuing encounter, all the four holed up militants, identified as ‘district commander’ Sajjad Ahmed Bhat alias Tahir Maqsood, Firdaus Ahmed Wani alias Naseer, Javed Ahmed alias Weqas and Farooq Ahmed War alias Huzaib, were killed. Two AK-56 rifles were recovered from the incident site. The Inspector General of Police claimed that this group of militants was the last available evidence of militants in the Kulgam-Yaripora-Arwani belt. However, some of his juniors said that two more HM militants, Basharat and Shahid, were yet to be killed or arrested in the Kulgam area. They asserted that group like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), had already been completely wiped out by police and security forces with the elimination of all listed militants in Kulgam area in the last one year.
