An act of cowardice.

Forty two CRPF personnel were killed at Pulwama, in Jammu and Kashmir by a suicide bomber. The details are as follows:-

     (a) A 78-vehicle CRPF convoy was going from the transit camp in Jammu to Srinagar, this
          afternoon when the suicide bomber rammed his SUV, packed with explosives into a bus killing
          42 and injuring several others.
     (b) The explosive used in the attack was so strong - a report suggested that 200 kg of explosives
          was packed into the SUV - that the blast was heard 10-12 km away and the CRPF bus was left
          in a mangled heap.
     (c) The number of personnel travelling back to the valley was high as there was no movement on
           the highway for the past 2-3 days due to bad weather. The convoy was carrying 2,547 security
           personnel.
     (d) This is the worst ever terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir since militancy erupted in '89.
     (e) Pakistan-based terror outfit, Jaish-e-Muhammed(JeM) has claimed responsibility for the attack.

A Humble Appeal.

The Jaish-e-Muhammed has released a video clip of the suicide bomber identified as Adil Ahmad Dar and said that the video was shot before the young man carried out the attack in Lethopura, about 30 km short of Srinagar. 

Kindly do not circulate the photo of the terrorist through the social media, be it through What'sApp or by any other means, because these misguided people are trying to make a martyr out of the idiot! Let none among us fall into their trap!!

The CCS(Cabinet Committee on Security) is meeting tomorrow morning at 0900 hrs where the government will announce its response to the dastardly attack.


Tailpiece.

Had got up on the dot though with a bit of reluctance, gone through our chores and were ready well in time. The heat has been going up steadily and the water table has been correspondingly receding. Six rings of our well have been exposed, as of now.

Lekha, along with Preetha, had gone to the Guruvayur temple for their weekly tryst and had also done purchases from the nearby department store.
