DON'T MISS
The Pulwama tragedy underscored the rising levels of militancy in Kashmir that has been massively controlled now. Till date, the Kashmir unrest has claimed over 70,000 lives, fuelled by local recruits amid ongoing unrest.
The tragedy remains a sombre reminder of the valour of Indian armed forces and the unyielding fight for peace. As India honours these heroes, the nation pledges zero tolerance for cross-border terrorism.
The Pulwama Incident
On 14 February 2019, an explosive-laden vehicle was rammed by a suicide bomber from the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) to a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel convoy. The incident happened on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway near Lethpora in Pulwama district, resulting in the death of 40 jawans while injuring many others.
The attack happened when LK Advani, a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was visiting the city to attend a party event.
