Srinagar, Apr 13 (IBNS) A firefight raged between security forces and militants on the outskirts of Jammu and Kashmir's summer capital Srinagar late on Sunday.
Sources said forces had a specific input about the presence of militants in Ahmad Nagar area of Srinagar and they laid a cordon, some 15 km from Srinagar City.
 
As the forces narrowed the search, at least two militants fired at them, officials said.
 
A policeman from Special Operations Group, Qazi Maqsood, was injured in the initial exchange of fire and was shifted to SK Institute of Medical Sciences in neighboring Soura.

 The exchange of fire was going on when the reports last came in.

 CRPF spokesperson Kishore Prasad told IBNS that on specific  information the CRPF and Police launched operation in the area.

He said one militant was killed so far and the firefight was on. 
 
Meanwhile, police official said that operation was called off for the night and would resume in the morning.

 This is the second firefight between militants and forces in the day in Jammu and Kashmir. 
 
In morning militants attacked a ruling National Conference (NC) party worker killing his two police guards in South Kashmir's Pulwama district. Two militants were also killed following a gunfight. The attack was the first in Kashmir during Indian elections being held over five weeks.
