Srinagar, Nov 11 (KNO): Following Kulgam terror attack that left three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel injured, top brass of the paramilitary force on Wednesday briefed the Ministry of Home Affairs on the security situation in J&K.
According to the details available with the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) the CRPF top officers briefed the MHA after an attack on its personnel at a checkpoint in South Kashmir’s Kulgam district. “A high-level meeting assessed the ground situation and reviewed developments,” said a source.
The briefing came as security agencies examined the circumstances surrounding the firing and the possible movement of the motorcycle borne attackers, who opened fire at CRPF personnel deployed at a naka and fled away.
The attack left three CRPF personnel with firearm injuries, with the condition of one jawan described as “critical.”
Pertinently, Kulgam firing comes against the backdrop of a period of relative calm of a few months.
A 35-year-old policeman, Aashiq Hussain Qureshi, posted on duty at Anantnag town in South Kashmir was shot dead by terrorists on July 22, 2026. Terrorists had opened fire on a police party deployed for Amarnath Yatra security duty at Lal Chowk in Anantnag.
In another incident on July 31, 2026, terrorists opened fire on two migrant labourers from Chhattisgarh at Kellam village in Kulgam. One of them, Deepak Ratray, was killed on the spot, while the second labourer, Bhupinder, later succumbed to his injuries—(KNO)
