In 2019, on February 14, a Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist Adil Ahmed Dar rammed his explosive laden SUV in a truck carrying CRPF soldiers. 40 soldiers were martyred.
Constable Shailendra Pratap Singh of the 110 Battalion of CRPF made the supreme sacrifice on October 5, 2020, while valiantly retaliating a terrorist attack in Pulwama.
IGP Kashmir Vijay Kumar informed that the terrorist was neutralized during an encounter at Tilwani Mohalla in Tral area of Awantipora in Pulwama district.
This comes just ahead of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s visit to Ladakh to carry out an extensive review of India’s operational readiness amid a prolonged standoff with China.
