One such operation was held earlier as well in which Chinese and Pakistan flags were recovered besides some arms and ammunition.
According to reports, security agencies also wanted to send a message after Chinese flags were waved by protesters here.
Meanwhile, the Army and the J&K Police are sweeping through the area to locate after receiving wind of untoward elements as the entire city of Baramulla is on lockdown.
Earlier, terror group Laskar-e-Taiba had warned the Baramulla SHO for carrying out an operation in which at least 44 were arrested for terror-related activities.
The crackdown was part of a joint operation by the Army, the BSF, the CRPF and police in several localities, including Qazi Hamam, Ganai Hamam, Taweed Gunj and Jamia, considered safe havens for terrorists.
