In a bid to enhance the security setup in the twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch, the CRPF has decided to send 10 of its companies from Delhi and 8 companies from Srinagar to Rajouri town in Jammu and Kashmir. The development comes in view of twin terror attacks in the Rajouri district in which six people of a minority community, including two children, were killed and 11 were injured. “Around 18 CRPF companies comprising more than 1,800 personnel are being deployed for strengthening security in Rajouri and Poonch districts,” an official said, adding that the Inspector General of CRPF and other top officers are supervising the deployment of the troops. Two children were killed and six people were injured in an IED explosion on Monday near the house of one of the victims in Dangri village. On Sunday evening, terrorists opened fire on three houses of a minority community in the area in Rajouri district, killing four civilians and injuring six.
