A DAY AFTER B’DAY, RAJOURI RESIDENT MEETS TRAGIC END
JAMMU: Head constable Naseer Ahmed of Dodasan Bala village in Rajouri district celebrated his birthday at the CRPF’s transit camp at Channi Rama in Jammu on Wednesday, a day before the attack. Ahmed had turned 46.
“It is a tradition in the CRPF family,” said CRPF spokesman Ashish Kumar Jha. “An eerie silence prevailed at his home in Dodasan Bala village,” said a local. “For how long, soldiers will continue to be killed by terrorists? Every time they die, the country will mourn and the government comes out with strong condemnation,” he said, quoting Siraj-ud-din, Ahmed’s elder brother, a head constable with the J&K Armed Police.
Police said Naseer is survived by wife Shazia, daughter, 8, son, 6, five elder sisters (all married).
