Srinagar, Nov 11 (NVI): Two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel injured in a terrorist attack in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district were discharged from hospital, while the third jawan, who sustained critical injuries, was airlifted to the 92 Base Hospital in Srinagar for advanced treatment, officials said on Wednesday.

The three personnel were injured when motorcycle-borne terrorists opened fire on a CRPF party in the Nowpora Akhran area near Mir Bazar on Wednesday afternoon.

Following the attack, all three injured personnel were initially shifted to Government Medical College (GMC), Anantnag, for treatment.

While two personnel recovered sufficiently to be discharged, the condition of the third jawan remained critical, prompting authorities to airlift him to the 92 Base Hospital in Srinagar.

Security forces have cordoned off the area and launched a search operation to track down the attackers—(NVI)
