With this, the regional and religious divide has once again become evident in Jammu and Kashmir.

2 Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists neutralised in Kulgam encounter

‘Huge quantity of arms, ammunition and explosives were recovered from their corpses,’ DIG South Kashmir Atul Kumar Goel said.

The gun battle between the terrorists and security personnel is underway.

The senior Congress leader also said Rahul Gandhi's candidature for the PM post was important but it would be achieved through consensus.

The body of the terrorist was found during a post-encounter search.

The intelligence inputs warned that terrorists may carry out an attack on Srinagar or Awantipora air bases.

Most schools, shops and other business establishments in the city remained shut due to the strike, officials said.

As the forces were conducting search operations, militants fired upon them, which led to a gun battle.

Last week, a war of words erupted between the Congress and the BJP leaders after PM Modi's 'corrupt number one' remark on Rajiv Gandhi.

The deceased were identified as Rohit Kumar and Suraj Kumar, both residents of Adarsh Colony in Udhampur.
