Srinagar: A massive search continued on Wednesday to trace a Territorial Army (TA) soldier who was allegedly abducted by militants in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Tuesday, officials said.

The police and Army have maintained a silence over the “abduction” of the soldier, who hails from Anantnag district.

Official sources said on Tuesday two TA personnel had gone to a forest area in Sheikhpora Chattragul to verify certain input and reportedly came face to face with militants.

“One of the TA soldiers managed to escape and fell down the hill. He got injured but managed to reach his unit. The other TA soldier was abducted,” official sources said.

Soon after the incident, the area was cordoned, and a massive hunt was launched to trace the abducted soldier.

The massive combing operation in the forest area continued on Wednesday in the area, sources said
