Jammu: The attack on a CRPF camp in Jammu and Kashmir's Bandipora this morning could be the first of several over the next few weeks, security officials have said. Intelligence reports indicate that more such attacks could be carried out as the snow in the Himalayas melt and more terrorists infiltrate into India.
"Are there inputs that there would be more such attacks? Yes. There are clear inputs that there would be more fidayeen attacks over the next few weeks," said Ravideep Sahi, a senior CRPF officer of Srinagar circle. "We have told our troops to remain alert and to repulse fidayeen attacks," he added.
They threw grenades and opened fire at the sentry post, a police officer said. The encounter that followed lasted 45 minutes. "All four of them were killed in the retaliatory firing and the suicide attack was foiled," the officer said. Their bodies were later found tangled tangled in the concertina wires bordering the camp.
Last week, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said there has been a drastic fall in infiltration in the Valley. "Infiltration has reduced by 45 per cent post-surgical strikes in the last six months," Mr Singh had said.
