One of the biggest tragedies in kashmir in recent years is the death of a Major and three others during an encounter in North Kashmir's Handwara after the entered a house chasing a group of terrorists.
The team of five, which included a special operations group personnel of the kashmir police, came under heavy fire on saturday evening as they were entering a house in Changimulla, Handwara in search of a terrorist group. Preliminary reports suggest that the same group of terrorists was involved in an attack on former J&K police personnel, on april 29, when they barged into his residence in Kralgund of Handwara and opened fire leaving him critically injured. police officials said that only one group of militants is active in Zachaldara area of Handwara, which includes two locals and some foreigners.
