A soldier and three terrorists were killed on Saturday in an encounter between the Army and militants in the Danna area of Bandipora in North Kashmir.
The martyred soldier has been identified as Rifleman Shive Kumar. He was injured during the encounter and succumbed to injuries after he was taken to hospital.
Army spokesman Colonel Rajesh Kalia said weapons and “war like stores” have been recovered from the encounter spot.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Jammu and Kashmir last week carried more than the weight of a new railway link — it carried the resolve of a nation that refuses to be broken by terror.
Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday asserted that the day is not far when the entire region of Kashmir will be seen as one unified entity before the world.
