On the solemn occasion of the fifth anniversary of the Pulwama terror attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid heartfelt tribute to the 40 CRPF personnel who lost their lives in the tragic incident. Remembering their ultimate sacrifice, he stated, “I pay homage to the brave heroes who were martyred in Pulwama. Their service and sacrifice for our nation will always be remembered.”
The Pulwama attack, one of the deadliest assaults on Indian security forces, took place on February 14, 2019, when a suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a CRPF convoy in Jammu and Kashmir. The Pakistan-based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility for the attack, which sent shockwaves across the nation.
In a swift and powerful response, the Indian Air Force launched airstrikes on terrorist camps in Balakot, Pakistan, in a decisive move against terrorism.
Even after five years, the Pulwama attack remains a defining moment in India’s fight against terrorism, symbolizing the courage and resilience of its security forces.
