A terrorist was gunned down on Monday during an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir.

The encounter broke out after the terrorists opened fire on a patrol team in Anantnag district of Kashmir.

A soldier of the Indian Army was also injured in the encounter.

The security forces have cordoned off the area.

“With the elimination of this group the fear among the public will wane away,” the cop explained.”Hizbul Mujahideen is on the verge of being completely wiped out in South Kashmir,” J&K DGP Dilbag Singh had told media after the encounter.
