![]() An Assistant Sub Inspector of J and K police and two constables were also gunned down by the militants, who might have infiltrated into the region from Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) around Monday or Tuesday. Armed with AK rifles, grenades and two shot guns, the dense fog in the region also came to the help of six militants who went on a killing spree before being shot dead by the army at the Mohra in Uri tehsil of north Kashmir's Baramulla district which goes to polls on December 9. In Tral, militants hurled a grenade at a police party in which two civilians were killed. Terming the attacks as most unfortunate, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said the militants crossed from across the border and fired at the jawans and securitymen at a camp. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said the attacks were a "desperate attempt" to disrupt peace and normalcy. Six AK rifles with 55 magazines, two shotguns, 2 Night Vision Binoculars, 4 Radio Sets, 32 unused Grenades, one Medical Kit, maps of the region and a large quantity of miscellaneous warlike stores were recovered from the six dead terrorists in Uri, official sources said. In Tral area of South Kashmir, two civilians were killed and six others injured when militants hurled a grenade at a crowded bus stand. Unidentified militants lobbed the grenade on a security patrol at Tral bus stand, 35 km from Srinagar, killing Ghulam Hasan Mir (60) and Mohammad Shafi Gujjar besides injuring five others, the police said. In Soura in the outskirts of Srinagar city, top Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Qari Israr along with his accomplice was killed by security personnel when they were trying to enter the city, police said. They tried to speed away from a check point at Ahmadnagar in Soura but were chased and in the ensuing gun battle, Israr was gunned down. One AK-47 rifle was recovered from him. Inspector General of Police, Kashmir, Abdul Ghani Mir said they had inputs about a militant module having entered Srinagar to carry out a major strike in the coming days. Police have intensified random search of vehicles following intelligence inputs that militants might carry out a suicide attack in the city ahead of the elections and the scheduled rally of the Prime Minister on Monday. In yet another attack, militants hurled a grenade at a police ambush party in Shopian in south Kashmir but there were no reports of any casualty. Shopian area has been vulnerable as militants coming from Doda region through Peer Panjal Range have been using this area as a transit spot.PTI |

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.
