The defence spokesman based in Srinagar 15 corp said the encounter started on basis of inputs about militants hiding in the area at around 5pm on sunday. The area was cordoned by security men from 52 RR, 22 RR, CRPF and SOG. Civilians fled to the safer areas as public address system was used to suggest besieged militants for surrender. The militants were hiding a residential house since last night, the spokesman said.

Even mother of the holed up local militant was made call her son from outside the house "Javida lejiya Mouj, Karta Surrender (son please surrender) " but her militant son declined his mother's offer, the reports said.
Lt General Gurmit Singh, General Officer Commanding (GoC) 15 Corps on Sunday at press briefing said that army is well prepared to take any security challenge in Kashmir including the reports about al-Qaida possible intrusion in Kashmir.
While talking to reporters here on Sunday, Let gen Singh said that army is well prepared to take on any challenge posed by the 'forces inimical to peace'. The GoC 15 Corp told reporters that army has an effective counter-infiltration grid in place along the LoC besides having an excellent intelligence network and good synergy with J&K police and other security forces agencies to deal with any kind of challenge.
Giving details of the anti-militancy operations in 2013-14, Lt Gen Singh informed reporters that the corps commander said the security forces have managed to neutralize 61 militants during the period. He said that 41 militants including 17 from LeT and 11 from Hizbul Mujahideen were killed during this period. Lt Gen Singh said that 23 militants have been apprehended during this period. He said 365 weapons including 177 AK 47 rifles, 151 pistols besides nine IEDs have been recovered during the operations against militants in the valley.
He said that 40 militants were killed this year upto June which include both foreigners and local militants and 10 top militant leaders in five months as compared to 10 top militant leader killed in the year 2013. He lauded army for its professionalism saying that in just 40 minutes operation it neutralized two militants who had snatched weapons from Jammu and Kashmir police constables.
More than 350 militants, many of them Pakistanis, are operating in Jammu and Kashmir, the Lok Sabha was informed on Tuesday.
The parliament was informed in 2011 that about 350-370 were assessed to be operating in Jammu and Kashmir. Out of which approximately 38 per cent were foreign militants, primarily Pakistani," the then Minister of State for Home Jitendra Singh had said in a written reply.
Last year army in operation in jammu and Kashmir had said: "There was enough evidence to establish that foreign sponsored militants in the state are turning hi-tech and opting for highly sophisticated and more lethal methods of operation to increase the level of militancy in J&K."
Singh had said the new crop of militants, particularly those backed by Lashkar-e-Toiba, were equipped with hi-tech gadgetry and trained to use modern warfare techniques. He said several intercepted messages have revealed that these militants are using VOIP (Voice on Internet Protocol) technology for communication in order to prevent their phones being tapped.
The former home minister had said even though the number of militants operating in the state has gone down, their hi-tech preparedness has kept them as lethal as ever.
