A tragic firing incident at the Sewa Project in Mashka area of Basohli, Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district has claimed the lives of four Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel, officials confirmed late Tuesday evening.
The incident occurred within the project premises, sparking shock and concern across the region. Authorities said further details, including the circumstances leading to the firing, are awaited as investigations are underway.
The Sewa Project, a critical infrastructure site in Kathua, is guarded by CISF personnel tasked with ensuring security in sensitive zones. The deaths of four officers in a single incident highlight the risks faced by paramilitary forces deployed in high‑security installations across Jammu and Kashmir.
Police and CISF officials are working to establish the sequence of events, while senior officers have rushed to the site. The tragedy has raised questions about internal security measures and the safety of personnel stationed at strategic projects in the region.
This incident adds to the growing concerns over law and order in Jammu and Kashmir, where security forces remain on high alert amid ongoing challenges.
