Seems our media sees only the ppl who play the victim card but never the whole picture. security forces are very bad in PR.
Kashmir unrest: sufferings of security forces go unheard
Srinagar, July 19, 2016, DHNS
As civilian death toll in Kashmir is on the rise, the miserable plight of security forces has gone unheard, though they too have been suffering colossal causalities.
Official data reveals that two police personnel have been killed in protests and three are missing while around 800 of them are wounded, including 200 with grievous injuries. Similar is the plight of the CRPF personnel whose patrol parties and bunkers are being frequently targeted with stones, petrol bombs and firearms. Sources said around 80 security installations were attacked by the unruly mobs in the last ten days of violence in the Valley.
Official documents reveal, since July 8, the day Hizbul commander Burhan Wani and his two accomplices were killed in an encounter, the security forces are being constantly attacked. In a shocker, the mobs killed a policeman by throwing him into river Jhelum along with his armoured vehicle on July 10. On the same day, militants had a field day. “It has been seen that in the garb of law & order, militants are firing and lobbing grenades on the police and the CRPF personnel. Militants lobbed two grenades on the CRPF sleuths deployed in Murran Chowk (Pulwama) resulting in injuries to some,” police records reveal.
On July 12, a grenade was tossed on a CRPF patrol party at Nowhatta in Srinagar leaving 12 personnel injured.
On July 15, at Yaripora in Kulgam, militants lobbed grenades and fired indiscriminately on the police who were dealing with violent protesters. “Seven police personnel and three civilians received gunshots and splinter injuries,” police documents said.
A senior police officer told DH that the Jammu and Kashmir Police were facing a tough situation in tackling the unruly mobs.
