Three CRPF personnel injured in terror attack on naka party in Kulgam

Srinagar, Nov 11 (UNI) Three CRPF personnel were injured, one of them critically, after terrorists opened fire on a CRPF naka party in south Kashmir's Kulgam district on Wednesday afternoon, official sources said.
The attack took place around 2:05 pm when terrorists believed to be two to three in number fired upon the CRPF personnel deployed at the naka near Akhran Bridge Mir Bazar, leaving three personnel injured. The attackers managed to escape from the spot after the firing.
The injured personnel were shifted to Government Medical College (GMC), Anantnag, where one of them is stated to be in critical condition, while the other two are stable.
One of the injured sustained bullet injuries to his abdomen and spine and his condition stated to be critical. The other two personnel suffered gunshot injuries to their leg and left arm, respectively, and are stated to be stable, sources said. All the three injured were later shifted to Army's Srinagar based 92 hospital.
Following the attack, security forces launched cordon and search operations in the area to track down the attackers.
Security forces recovered AK rifle cartridges from the spot, indicating that the attackers had used assault rifles during the firing, sources said.
Shortly after the attack, security across the Valley was beefed up.
The attack took place on a day when Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha was scheduled to attend the Veshow Festival at Government Degree College, Kulgam.
The attack site at Akhran is around 15 kilometres from the venue of the festival.
This is the first militant attack in Kashmir since July 31, when militants killed two non-local brick kiln workers in Kulgam district.
Earlier, on July 22, a police head constable was shot dead by militants at point-blank range in neighbouring Anantnag town.
Last week, IGP Kashmir Sujit Kumar said that the number of local militants active in the Valley had dwindled to just one. Kumar said that an unspecified number of foreign terrorists were also operating in support of lone local militant.
Meanwhile, Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti strongly condemns the attacks.
"Such acts of violence are unacceptable and deserve unequivocal condemnation. She wishes the injured personnel a speedy and complete recovery. There can be no place for violence in a society that yearns for lasting peace, stability and dignity," she said.
BJP leader Altaf Thakur condemned the attack on the CRPF. He urged the police to identify the perpetrators and ensure that those responsible for the attack are brought to justice.
