SRINAGAR: Director General of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Gyanendra Pratap Singh on Friday visited south Kashmir’s Kulgam district and reviewed the security situation, two days after three CRPF personnel were injured in a militant attack.
The visit comes amid an ongoing search operation to track down the suspected militants involved in the attack near Akhran Bridge at Mir Bazar.
Officials said Singh also interacted with field officers of the CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir Police at Sadura in Anantnag, where he discussed measures to intensify counter-insurgency operations in the Valley.
On Wednesday, two to three suspected militants opened fire on a CRPF naka party near Akhran Bridge, injuring three personnel. The attackers fled the scene following the firing.
The attack took place on a day when Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha was visiting Kulgam to attend the Veshow Festival at Government Degree College.
The search operation to trace those involved in the attack is continuing.
