Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday honoured the CRPF personnel who lost their lives in a terror attack in Pulwama, marking the fifth anniversary of the incident.
In a statement on X, PM Modi paid his respects, saying, “I pay homage to the brave heroes who were martyred in Pulwama. Their service and sacrifice for our nation will always be remembered.”
On February 14, 2019, a suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden SUV into a convoy of CRPF personnel, resulting in the tragic loss of 40 jawans.
Following the Pulwama attack, the Indian Air Force conducted multiple aerial strikes targeting Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camps in Pakistan’s Balakot region.
