With the killing of four militants of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), including a ‘District Commander’, senior officials of Jammu and Kashmir on January 30 declared the Kulgam district of south Kashmir as a "militancy-free zone", according to Daily Excelsior. Inspector General of Police (Kashmir Zone), Shiv Morari Sahai, held a press conference at Bijbehara to declare the Kulgam-Arwani belt as a militancy-free area. He said that the security forces had laid siege to a cluster of residential houses at Batpora, near Arwani, and began search for a group of militants hiding in the locality. Four Kashmiri militants of the HM group were hiding at the house of one Mohammad Maqbool Malik.

Two AK-56 rifles were recovered from the incident site.
