The troops martyred Lateef Ahmed Dar, Tariq Ahmed Sheikh and Shariq Ahmed Nengroo during a violent cordon and search operation at Adkhara in Imam Sahib area of Shopian district on Friday.
All shops and business establishments remained closed in the two districts while public transport is off the road. People from Shopian, Pulwama and neighboring areas are visiting the houses of the martyred youth to offer condolences to the families.
