As the operation to flush out Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists who stormed an Army camp in Sunjwan entered the second day, local residents have been frequenting the area to serve meals and snacks to police and paramilitary personnel camped there.

The admiring gesture by residents of Sainik Colony have also been well-received by the mediapersons stationed there.

The residents pooled their resources and have been serving meals, tea, snacks and water to hundreds of people, mostly police and paramilitary personnel and scribes, camping outside the main gate of the sprawling military station since yesterday.

"It's a small effort on our part... We want to contribute to the nation and decided to provide tea and snacks to the security forces deployed outside and to the mediapersons," Sanjeev Manmotra, who is leading the initiative, told PTI.

He said their effort was also aimed at sending a message to the misguided youth in the Kashmir Valley who target security forces with stones during anti-terrorist operations. -- PTI
