Four Naxals were gunned down and some weapons were recovered from their possession during an encounter that broke out between the Leftwing outlaws and security forces in the Bijapur district on Tuesday.
The ministry wants to keep itself updated about the central force movements in the state so that proper utilization of the forces can be done promptly as and when the situation demands.
It has been five years since the devastating Pulwama terror attack that claimed the lives of 40 CRPF personnel on duty.
Allegations suggest that during investigations into ration scam, ED personnel faced attacks in Sandeshkhali, with some being injured and three being admitted in hospital.
Biswajeet Adhikari (36), a CRPF jawan from Aligram in Kirnahar in Birbhum district, who was on duty at Kashmir Valley was killed in mysterious circumstances after receiving a bullet injury in his head last evening.
Police said acting on a specific information generated by the Shopian police about the presence of terrorists at village Check-i-Sidique Khan area, a joint cordon and search operation was launched by the police, Army's 34 RR and 178 BN of the CRPF in the said area.
The army said in the eight hour-long operation, Aijaz alias Abu Huraira, a Pakistani terrorist and two other terrorists identified as Javed Rather of Tahab, Pulwama and Shahnawaz Gani of Srinagar belonging to LeT were eliminated by the security forces.
A chopper of Indian Air Force was also requisitioned but could not make it to Padelpada because of bad weather en route, said senior police officials.
Two CRPF personnel, including a sub-inspector, have received bullet injuries during the encounter and have been shifted to hospital for treatment.
It is also true that the insurgent has to succeed once to gain notoriety, while regular successes of security forces are brushed aside. The ambush on an army convoy in Chandel in Manipur leading to 20 dead in June 2015 is a case in point.
