At least two CRPF personnel are reported critically injured in a militant attack reported from Awneera village on a visiting lawmaker. The village, not far away from Bejbehara where a cop was murdered during the day today, is undergoing a cordon and search operation.

Within minutes after the attack, the local police have driven to the place. The area is being searched right now, police said.
The attack came within hours after militants gunned down a police man in Bejbehara. Awneera is part of the same belt and is around 6 kms from Bejbehara. Details of the attacks are still awaited.
