Kulgam, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : In Kulgam, Jammu and Kashmir, search operations are underway following an attack on Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel. The incident occurred on Wednesday, resulting in injuries to three soldiers. The assailants, riding motorcycles, opened fire indiscriminately before fleeing the scene.
On Thursday morning, security forces conducted extensive searches throughout Kulgam. They are checking vehicles and scrutinizing the documents of drivers and passengers as part of their efforts to ensure safety in the area.
The attack took place around 2:15 PM at a security checkpoint in Kulgam. The suddenness of the assault left the CRPF personnel with little opportunity to react. Following the shooting, the area was cordoned off, and a search operation was initiated to track down the attackers.
In a related development, a large-scale search is also ongoing in Kishtwar district after two Special Police Officers (SPOs) went missing during an operation in the Marwah area. The Kishtwar police, in collaboration with the Indian Army, have tightened security across the district.
