A police personnel was killed in the predawn attack by heavily armed militants who stormed into the police lines where hundreds of J&K Police and CRPF personnel are stationed.
Militants resorted to indiscriminate firing and lobbed grenades inside the DPL premises.
Operation to flush militants out is still underway as the militants, according to sources, have fortified themselves in one of the buildings and are firing intermittently on government forces.
