Railway Protection Force personnel killed in fresh terror attack in Kashmir's Pulwama

Srinagar/IBNS: In a fresh terror attack, two personnel of the Railway Protection Force were shot at by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on Monday.

The two victims have been identified as Head Constable Surinder Singh and Assistant Sub-Inspector Devraj. The duo were shot near a tea stall in Kakapora, reports said.

They were taken immediately to a hospital, where doctors declared Surinder Singh dead on arrival.

Soon after the attack took place, a cordon and search operation was launched in the area but the terrorists had escaped by then, police told the media.

Terrorist attacks in Kashmir are on the rise recently, more importantly ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit, due on April 24.

PM Modi is scheduled to address a major rally near Jammu which will be attended by thousands of panchayat members to mark the Panchayat Raj Day.

Over the last three weeks, terrorists have stepped up attacks on security forces and civilians in the Kashmir Valley. This was the ninth attack only this month.

Targeted killings of outsiders who came to Jammu and Kashmir in search of jobs, and indigenous Kashmiri pandits, have also increased.
