Operation Mahadev is a joint counter-terror operation launched by Indian security forces, including the Indian Army\u2019s Chinar Corps, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), and the Jammu and Kashmir Police. The operation was initiated based on credible forces that the militants involved in the Pahalgam Terror Attack<\/strong><\/a> had moved into the dense forest of Dachigam National Park<\/strong><\/a> and the nearby Dara area approximately 20 kilometres from Srinagar.
