On the first anniversary of Pulwama terror attack, the CRPF organised a low key wreath-laying ceremony at Lethpora camp in Pulwama.
CRPF’s Special Director General Zulfikhar Hasan and other top security officials also paid tribute to the fallen jawans at the camp in Lethpora. The memorial has been set up in 185 Battalion of CRPF.

The names of all the 40 personnel along with their pictures was a part of the memorial along with the motto of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) – ‘Seva and Nishtha’ (Service and Loyalty).
