Srinagar, January 07: Clash between the militants and security personnel is still going on at Lal chowk, which was quite overnight. The security personnel have ready themselves to make a vigorous move to assault the building to finish up the row.
Firing intensified at the break of dawn as police and CRPF troopers were preparing to launch an assault on the hotel building to neutralize the two holed up militants of the Jamiat-ul-Mujaheedin outfit which claimed responsibility for the attack.
The attack in the city centre, the commercial hub of Srinagar started when two terrorists hurled grenades and opened heavy fire from their automatic weapons at paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers guarding a camp Wednesday afternoon.
