On this day in 2019, 40 members of the CRPF perished in the terror assault in Pulwama three years ago.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid respect to the members of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) who lost their lives in the 2019 Pulwama terrorist attack on Tuesday.
“Remembering the brave warriors we lost in Pulwama on this day. Never will we forget the ultimate sacrifice they made. Their bravery inspires us to create a powerful and advanced India, the prime minister wrote in a tweet.
On this day three years ago, the Pulwama terror attack claimed the lives of 40 members of the CRPF.
After a suicide bomber crashed an explosive-packed vehicle into the security force convoy, the jawans lost their lives.
The terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed, which is located in Bahawalpur and is commanded by Masood Azhar, was responsible for the attack.
