Operation Mahadev was a high-intensity counter-terrorism mission launched by the Indian Army, CRPF, and Jammu & Kashmir Police in the Dara region near Dachigam National Park. Acting on credible intelligence, the forces engaged and neutralised three Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists suspected to be linked with the deadly Pahalgam attack of April 2025. The encounter involved drone surveillance, rapid deployment, and coordinated action, highlighting India's growing reliance on technology and joint-force synergy in counter-insurgency efforts. Operation Mahadev not only marked a tactical success but also reinforced regional security by targeting militant hideouts in challenging terrain close to Srinagar.
