A top police officer said the identity of the slain youth is yet to be ascertained as operation is still underway.
The troops stopped media men to cover the operation and blocked all entry and exit points to the area.
Meanwhile, All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leaders, Jameel Ahmad Mir and Dr Musaib, in a joint statement paid rich tributes to the martyred youth.
