KULGAM , Nov 11: The November 11, 2026 attack on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) checkpoint near Mir Bazaar in Kulgam—which injured three personnel from the 46th Battalion—is being examined by security Forces.
The firing occurred around 2:15 PM while Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha was in the same district and attended the Vaishaw (Veshow) festival.
Although Lieutenant Governor was nowhere near the attack site, but the Lieutenant Governor was attending cultural event in the same district , where the large number of Officers were present.
This was the first major terror incident since July 2026 (when two migrant workers were killed).
Following the strike, joint teams of the J&K Police, Army, and CRPF cordoned off the Mir Bazaar and adjacent forest belts, deployed armoured vehicles and palced additional checkpoints.
LG Manoj Sinha visited the injured personnel at the hospital and later gave free hand to Security forces to track down the perpetrators.
