Srinagar: An Army soldier died during a cordon and search operation in Shopian, a defence spokesman said on Sunday.
Rifleman Abdul Majed Dar, a resident of Anantnag district in Jammu and Kashmir, was part of a cordon and search operation in Zainapora area of Shopian district on Saturday, defence spokesman Colonel Rajesh Kalia said.
“Due to undulating terrain, rifleman Dar slipped and fell from a height. He was rescued by his team, provided immediate first aid and evacuated to the nearest Army medical facility,” he said.
