Pulwama-like tragedy averted in Kashmir, IED-laden car timely captured


Srinagar, May 28 (IANS): A major terror plot was averted in Jammu and Kashmir after the security forces recovered a car laden with an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in South Kashmir's Pulwama district. The explosive laden car was said to be placed at a strategic location to target a security forces convoy or a defence installation.

The explosive was kept in a blue drum inside the car. A bomb disposal squad reached the spot on Thursday morning. People were asked to move away from the vicinity. The bomb disposal squad then instead of diffusing the explosive, exploded the vehicle.

The Jammu and Kashmir Police tweeted: "A major incident of a vehicle borne IED blast is averted by the timely input and action by Pulwama Police, CRPF and the Army."

As per the reports, late on Wednesday night, a car was intercepted by the security forces from Rajpora in South Kashmir's Pulwama district. The police had a specific input about a lone car, which was tracked to Shaadipura, (Rajpura road) in Pulwama.

However, the driver, who is said to be a Hizbul Mujahideen militant, managed to escape after initial firefight in the cover of drakness.

Investigationn so far have revelaed that the white colour santro car had a number plate of a two- wheeler, which was registered in the name of a resident of Jammu's Kathua.

In February 2019, 40 CRPF soldiers were killed in a similar IED laden car driven by a Adil Ahmed Dar, a Jaish terrorist. Later in April last year, a similar failed attempt of exploding IED happened in Banihal in which Hizbul terrror module was said to be involved. Both cases of terror conspiracy are being investigated by NIA.

    Prior to Uttar Pradesh election 'Surgical strike'. Before the general elections 'Pulwama Strike'. These type of tactics using the nationalist card the BJP's central government is playing with the emotion of the people when the government has proved completely failure in handling the 'Covid-19' pandemic.

    The presence of one million forces in Jammu and Kashmir are unable to avert the Chinese aggression in Ladakh, how the Kashmir valley is going brought normalcy despite abrogation of Article 370?

    The state has not seen any tourism increase since 2014. When the 'Digital India' is proposing serving 5G network the Kashmir has only 2G connectivity. The standing crop of apples is rotten. Doctors are warn not speak to the media. How will militancy will be reduced when there are no effective pro people governance that ensure them bread and butter?

    In the past few years, you can see army actually defending the country and see taking proactive action as well as response to attacks..Imagine how well army would have performed if they were simply let do what they were supposed to and how many attacks could have been avoided, if Congress govt would have not asked them to stay back and be silent. Pak army seems to be restless and desparate now since Kashmir is gone out of their hands.They are isolated without any country coming to their support. Centre has to take Kashmir state governance into confidence and quickly work towards settling it and normalizing it so that the ties become stronger.
