Army Chief Bipin Rawat on Wednesday issued a stern warning to stone-pelters, whose conduct was causing higher casualties in the Kashmir valley.
The stern message from Rawat came a day after three soldiers faced heavy stone-pelting at Parray Mohalla of Bandipore in north Kashmir when they were about to launch an operation against militants holed up there.
The stone pelting alerted the terrorists who hurled hand grenades and fired at the troops, leaving three jawans dead and some others, including a Commanding officer of CRPF, injured. One terrorist also managed to flee the area.
