There was a daring attack in the heart of Srinagar on Monday. Two CRPF men on duty in the crowded Lal Chowk were shot at point blank range.
Minutes later, another strike, just two kilometres away, in Batmalloo. Twenty five people, including 5 policemen were wounded in a grenade attack on a moving CRPF vehicle.
This is the third such strike in a month. The police explains its working on new strategy: "We have gone for some defensive deployment and offensive strategies. In days to come we will be elaborating on those. Hopefully, now there will be no more strikes of this nature and we are ready to take them on," says HK Lohia, DIG Central Kashmir range.
The police claims it has identified two cop killing modules belonging to the Hizb, Lashkar and Jaish that are operating in Srinagar city, and are zeroing in on them.
