Kashmir poll
The elections in Kashmir, beginning on Wednesday, signal a significant turning point for the region, as they take place for the first time in a decade under profoundly altered circumstances.
A policeman was injured on Wednesday in a gunfight between holed up militants and the security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district.
Police said that on a specific information about presence of some militants in Kalaroos area of the district, the forces laid a cordon and started a search operation. During the operation the militants fired at the security forces that wounded a police constable.
An encounter with the militants has started in the area and all exit routes have been sealed, police added.
