Security forces carried out today a search operation in the commercial hub of Lal Chowk here amid heightening of security measures following killing of a CRPF jawan at Batamaloo on Tuesday.
A joint team of security forces cordoned off the area around Ghanta Ghar (Clock Tower) and carried out searches of buildings and vehicles in the area, a police official said.
He said no arrests were made in the operation, during which movement of people through the cordoned area was suspended.
Security forces started random frisking of vehicles entering the city following imposition of governor's rule in the state last month but the sanitisation and area domination exercises have been intensified since Tuesday when militants shot dead a CRPF jawan and injured another at Batamaloo.
