Jammu: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday paid tributes to the CRPF personnel who were martyred in the 2019 Pulwama attack and resolved to eliminate militancy in Jammu & Kashmir.
On February 14, 2019, Jaish-e-Mohammed militant group attacked a convoy of the Central Reserve Police Force in Pulwama, killing 40 personnel of the paramilitary force. “The nation will forever be grateful to our brave soldiers of @crpfindia and their families,” Sinha said in a tweet. He said the Jammu and Kashmir administration is determined to eliminate militancy.
Days after the Pulwama attack, the Indian Air Force carried out a retaliatory air strike at Pakistan’s Balakot on February 26, 2019.
