Lal Chowk encounter ends with gunning down of three militants | The fierce encounter between security personnel and
the militants that lasted for nearly 22 hours came to an end on Thursday, with security personnel gunning down all the three militants. Two fiyadeen men were
gunned down on Thursday, while one was shot dead on Wednesday. As reported by
media, the Home Ministry has claimed that three terrorists were shot dead in the
encounter at Lal Chowk in Srinagar. The killed terrorists were hiding inside the
Punjab Hotel at Lal Chowk here. Meanwhile, the clean up operation has begun at
the Punjab hotel here to sanitise the building. Around 10 people were injured
in the gun-battle, and two security personnel were killed in the encounter. Earlier
on Wednesday, the suspected militants had fired at a picket of the Central Reserve
Police Force (CRPF), deployed in the valley region. Later, they hurled a grenade
before entering a building at Lal Chowk, the main business centre at the heart
of Srinagar. Security officials had cordoned off the whole area and all roads
connecting to the site. |
