| Security & intelligence laxity cost 40 CRPF lives | | | Why no road clearance operations were carried out prior to the leaving of the convoy of 2500 soldiers and that too in south Kashmir which has been quite volatile since 2016? This shows laxity of security forces and the intelligence agencies. Road opening exercise was called for when there were reports that militants have become quite active And they targeted a bus carrying 45 CRPF personnel, which was part of the convoy. At least 40 paramilitary CRPF personnel were killed and several injured when a Jaish fidayeen rammed his explosive laden vehicle into a CRPF convoy along Srinagar-Jammu highway at Lethpora area in south Kashmir's Pulwama district on Thursday. At around 3: 15 pm, the blast ripped through a CRPF bus which was part of a convoy coming from Jammu towards Srinagar.
A local militant identified as Adil Ahmad of Kakapora rammed explosive-laden vehicle into a bus belonging to CRPF's 54 battalion, reports said.
Adil had joined militancy in March 2018.
Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) claimed responsibility of the fidayeen attack and also released video of the militant, who carried out the suicide bombing. The 44-seater bus was reduced to a mangled iron heap due to impact of the blast.It was part of convoy comprising around 70 vehicles.
The blast was felt kilometres away from the actual spot at Ladhu Mode, Lethpora where body parts were scattered. Body parts could be seen strewn around the area. At least 40 CRPF men were killed in the attack, The exact number of casualties was being ascertained. "The injured were shifted to different hospitals including army hospital in Srinagar for specialised treatment. Agencies were ascertaining the exact damage caused in the blast. It was a car-based very powerful blast which damaged the bus..
After blast, traffic on highway through Awantipora was suspended for some time and police, CRPF and army men launched cordon and search operation in the area. The CRPF have described the attack as "gruesome" and an act of "desperation" on part of militants. This calls for multidimensional operations against the militants. For the first time the Governor too has changed his mind. Earlier he used to say end terrorism without killing terrorists. But now he has become wiser because one cannot end terrorism without killing terrorists. This way the CRPF mood is full of anger so is the mood on the part of the Army bitter. These security agencies want to avenge the incident of Lethpora Pulwama. But the security and intelligence agencies are to be blamed for ghastly incident. |
