KATHUA: Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat on Friday laid a wreath and paid tribute to police personnel who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty during the Kathua anti-terrorist operation.

Selection Grade Constable (SgCT) Balvinder Singh, SGCT Jaswant Singh and SGCT Tariq Ahmed lost their lives in the Kathua anti-terrorist operation. Two terrorists were neutralised, and the operation continues as forces secure the area.

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.
