At least two suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba militants were killed in the encounter at Karan Nagar in Srinagar that lasted for more than 30 hours.

The encounter between militants and security forces had begun on Monday, February 12, after the ultras hiding inside a building tried to attack a CRPF camp. Zubairr from the 49th Battalion CRPF, was part of the operation that successfully carried out by forces against the militants.

“The reason for the grant of Commendation Disc and Certificate – For displaying thorough professionalism and unparalleled dedication, devotion and valour in eliminating the terrorists during the Karan Nagar encounter dated 12/2/2018,” reads the Commendation Disc & Certificate singed by CRPF director general Rajeev Rai Bhatnagar.

Zubair, who joined the CRPF in 2013, was initially posted in Hyderabad and later served in Latur in Maharashtra. He has been serving in Srinagar as a soldier for the past two and a half years. After his primary education in Haleneranky Government Higher Primary School, Zuber did his high school and PU education from Sri Ramakunjeshwara PU College near Uppinangady. Later, he did his BBM from St Philomena’s College in Puttur.

"In my childhood I wanted to become a police officer, but I was not selected in my two attempts. However, I cleared army selection in the first attempt itself. It is my fortune to serve the Indian army," said Zubair, who got married a few months ago. He is expected to visit his hometown next month.

Bengaluru, Feb 6: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa inducted 10 BJP MLAs to his Cabinet here on Thursday. They are among the 17 Congress-JD(S) MLAs who defected last year.

The much-delayed expansion came almost two-months after the MLAs won the bypolls held in December. During the period, the defectors camp exerted pressure on Yediyurappa to expand the Cabinet and include all the MLAs who contested the bypolls.

The new ministers sworn in are S T Somashekar, Ramesh Jarkiholi, Byrati Basavaraj, K Gopalaiah, B C Patil, Dr K Sudhakar, Shivaram Hebbar, Anand Singh, Narayana Gowda and Shrimanth Patil.

One of the 11 MLAs from the defectors camp, Mahesh Kumathalli was not inducted as he hailed from the same constituency as Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi. Three others, MTB Nagaraj, H Vishwanath and R Shankar are likely to be inducted in June.

Governor Vajubhai Bala administered oaths to the new ministers at Raj Bhavan, where hundreds of supporters came to witness the event. Authorities had also beefed up security arrangements outside Raj Bhavan for the ceremony.

Earlier, Yediyurappa was to induct 10 newly-elected MLAs and three old-timer BJP MLAs. But on Wednesday evening, the BJP's central leadership stepped in to decide that only 10 newly-elected MLAs should be inducted after disgruntlement surfaced among BJP MLAs over former minister C P Yogeeshwar's induction.

Several MLAs led by chief minister's political secretary MP Renukacharya had raised a hue and cry over allotting berths to those who lost Assembly polls. A group of 13 to 15 MLAs had also demanded adequate representation to Kalyana Karnataka region, alleging that the new Cabinet had excess representation from few districts of Karnataka, such as Bengaluru Urban and Belagavi.
