In Jammu and Kashmir, a paratrooper, who was critically injured in the gunfight with terrorists in the Chatroo area of the Kishtwar district, succumbed to his injuries. The massive search operation to track down terrorists suspected of hiding in the upper reaches of Kishtwar district entered its second day today. 

 

The operation was launched in Sonnar village near Mandral-Singhpora in the Chatroo belt yesterday, leading to a gunfight that left eight soldiers injured, primarily due to splinter injuries caused by a sudden grenade attack from the hiding terrorists. One of the injured troopers, Havildar Gajendra Singh, breathed his last during treatment at a military hospital in Jammu.

 

The General Officer Commanding, White Knight Corps and others paid solemn tribute to Havildar Gajendra Singh of the Special Forces, who made the supreme sacrifice while executing a counter terrorism operation in the Singpora area during the ongoing operation TRASHI-I.
