An Army officer died after falling into a gorge during a massive search operation for militants in the dense forests of Rajouri district Saturday afternoon. Officials said the deceased, a lieutenant in the Assam Rifles, was part of the search teams. He was evacuated to a hospital but died, they said. The searches are part of Operation Sheruwali, a fortnight-long exercise in the Ghambir Mughan and Dorimal forests of Manjakote after intelligence inputs indicated the presence of militants.
