Terrorists Involved In Poonch Encounter Likely From Sleeper Cell

Terrorists from a sleeper cell are likely to be taking part in an encounter in Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir, which is on its 16th day. Nine soldiers have been killed over the last two weeks in what has turned into one of the longest encounters the country has seen; the Supreme Court will pronounce its judgment tomorrow on a batch of petitions seeking court-monitored probe into alleged unauthorised surveillance using the Pegasus software made by an Israeli firm NSO Group; farmers in Madhya Pradesh have been facing an acute fertiliser crisis amid the peak harvesting season and while many of them are protesting, some others have resorted to looting bags of fertilisers; and other top stories.
