Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday laid a wreath and paid tribute to Head Constable Jagbir, who lost his life in an anti-terrorist operation ‘Safiyan’ in Kathua.
Four Jammu and Kashmir police personnel lost their lives in the operation, while two terrorists were gunned down.
The operation is still ongoing as security forces continue to engage with the remaining terrorists.
Yesterday, Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat laid a wreath and paid tribute to police personnel who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty during the Kathua anti-terrorist operation.
The other three police personnel who lost their lives are Selection Grade Constable (SgCT) Balvinder Singh, SGCT Jaswant Singh, and SGCT Tariq Ahmed lost their lives in the Kathua anti-terrorist operation.
The operation began on March 23, when locals reported the sighting of suspected Pakistani infiltrators in Sanyal.
Security forces, including the J&K Police, Army, BSF, and CRPF, launched a search operation, leading to an initial exchange of fire.
