Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh spoke to the Director General of Police (DGP), Jammu and Kashmir to take stock of the situation following a terror attack on the Sunjuwan army camp early Saturday.
According to reports, the J-K DGP SP Vaid has briefed the home minister about the counter operations launched by the security forces while Rajnath has directed officials of the Home Ministry to look into the matter.
Meanwhile, the home minister is monitoring the situation closely, officials said.
A group of heavily armed militants hurled grenades and used heavy volume of automatic gunfire to enter the Sunjuwan Military Station, police sources said.
The area has been cordoned off and schools have been asked to remove shut.
Three terrorists are believed to have entered the army station and a fierce gunbattle between the militants and the security personnel is on.
A soldier and a civilian have been injured in the attack so far, police said. The injured include a lieutenant and his daughter, reports said.
Militants had attacked the same army station in 2006. Twelve soldiers were killed and seven others were injured in that attack before the two ‘fidayeen’ (suicide) terrorists were killed.
