In Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district, security agencies are tightening their grip on active terrorists as the police ramp up efforts to capture Saifullah Baloch, a most wanted terrorist identified as a commander of the banned outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed. It is believed that he serves as the operational chief of Jaish cadres operating in the dense forests between Doda and Kishtwar. Baloch has been implicated in several high-profile terrorist attacks targeting both the army and civilians over the past two to three years, warranting an urgent manhunt for his apprehension.

Intelligence agencies have indicated that Saifullah Baloch has evaded capture by exploiting the difficult mountainous terrain and jungles surrounding Doda. In a recent strategy, Doda police have decided to launch a public awareness campaign by placing posters of wanted terrorists at prominent intersections, marketplaces, and sensitive areas across the district. These posters encourage local citizens to provide any information regarding Baloch’s whereabouts, further highlighting community involvement in the fight against terrorism.

To ensure the safety of informants, the police have assured that any tips provided will remain confidential, and a reward will be offered for useful information leading to Baloch's capture. This initiative comes at a critical time as the region faces ongoing security challenges, indicating the local force's commitment to enhancing security operations and engaging the community to combat terrorism effectively.
