The gunfight broke out when militants, hiding in the forest, fired at a security force party of the Rashtriya Rifles and the state police's Special Operations Group (SOG).
Additional deployments of security forces were rushed to the area to augment the strength of the security forces and to establish a firm cordon around the group of militants in the area.
