Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel who died in the 2019 Pulwama terror attack on Tuesday.

“Remembering our valorous heroes who we lost on this day in Pulwama. We will never forget their supreme sacrifice. Their courage motivates us to build a strong and developed India,” PM Modi said in a tweet. On this day in 2019, 40 CRPF personnel lost their lives in the Pulwama terror attack.

The attack was carried out by the Pakistani terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed, which is led by Masood Azhar based in Bahawalpur.
