AGARTALA, Feb 15 (TIWN): While attending the 52nd Tripura State Athlete Championship, Chief Minister Biplab Deb has restricted all colouful presentation of cultural programmes after terror attack at Kashmir left 45 CRPF jawans injured.

The toll from Thursday's terror attack on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) convoy in Jammu and Kashmir rose to 45 as two more troopers succumbed to their injuries, officials said on Friday.

 Home Minister Singh is also expected to visit Srinagar today. Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to Twitter on Thursday to pledge that the "sacrifices of our brave security personnel shall not go in vain." The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in an official statement accused Pakistan for the attack and added that the JeM founder Maulana Masood Azhar had been "given the freedom to target India."  

Meanwhile, the international community, including the US, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Russia, and Bangladesh condemned the dastardly attack on Indian security personnel. 

The attack happened even as an intelligence input had warned of its the possibility 48 hours earlier.

The audacious attack, the worst-ever since armed insurgency started in the state in 1989, was carried out by the JeM.
