Wednesday’s incident on Khanbal-Pahalgam road, the main approach route to Amarnath shrine, raises security concerns
A day after five CRPF personnel were killed in an attack in south Kashmir’s Anantnag — the first major attack since the Pulwama suicide bombing in February — officials said the AK-47 toting, ‘hardened’ militant was not a local and was trained in Pakistan.
The official said the fidayeen (on a suicide mission) acted alone, killing five personnel in the initial burst of fire.
Pilgrim safety
CRPF Director General R.R. Bhatnagar briefed Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba about the attack on Thursday. The busy Khanbal-Pahalgam road, where the attack took place, is the main approach road to the Amarnath shrine. The Amarnath Yatra commences July 1 and more than two lakh pilgrims are expected to visit the shrine.
