On the first anniversary of Pulwama terror attack, the CRPF organised a low key wreath-laying ceremony at Lethpora camp in Pulwama.

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).
