This comes after three civilians were killed and 30 others injured when militants hurled a grenade at the cavalcade of Jammu and Kashmir minister Naeem Akhtar in Tral on 21 September.
A woman was among the three civilians killed, while the injured included 21 civilians, seven CRPF troopers and two local policemen. The militants carried out the grenade attack near the main bus stand in Tral.
Akhtar escaped unhurt from the attack and told PTI, "Innocent Kashmiri blood has been shed. They (militants) have chosen the eve of Islamic New Year to carry out this cowardly attack. Those who carried out the attack are friends of neither Kashmir nor of Islam."
