Grenade attack in Srinagar, 6 CRPF jawans injured
[OneIndia] Six CRPF jawans were maimed after bully boyz hurled a grenade and opened fire on the security forces in Karan Nagar, Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... The CRPF team was manning a checkpoint when the incident took place around 6.50 pm. The grenade explosion caused panic in the area, said police officials. The security forces fired some shots in the air in retaliation, officials said, adding that further details were awaited. The attack comes two months after the government scrapped Jammu and Kashmir's special status under Article 370 and split it into two union territories. Pakistain-based terrorist groups made 328 bids to sneak into Jammu and Kashmir from across the border in 2018 and were successful in 143 of these attempts, the highest in the last five years, according to the Home Ministry's annual report. The report of the ministry for 2018-19 made available on Friday said 257 turbans and 91 security personnel were killed in Jammu and Kashmir last year, the highest number of casualties in the state in the last five years. Thirty-nine civilians were also killed during this period, it said. As per the report, there were 328 infiltration attempts by Pakistain-based terrorist groups into Jammu and Kashmir from across the border in 2018, of which 143 were successful.
