AGARTALA, Dec 10 (TIWN): Rupees 10,000 was given by state BJP to Martyr Chittaranjan Debbarma’s family members on Friday.

BJP Khowai Jila Shabhadipati Hari Shankar Paul handed over the check to the family.

BJP further brought serious allegation against the ruling party which never donates anything to any victim.

Chittaranjan Debbarma was actual resident of Khowai, under Kalyanpur sub-division. 

Reportedly, seven soldiers, including two officers, were killed in a huge terror attack at an army base near Jammu in the town of Nagrota, just 20 kilometres from the border with Pakistan. 

A group of heavily-armed suicide attackers in police uniforms entered the army base in Nagrota before daybreak with guns and grenades and forced their way in. They entered buildings where there were army officers' families, which led to a hostage-like crisis, an army statement said. The attack is reminiscent of January's deadly strike on an air force base in Pathankot, and comes just two months after 19 soldiers were killed by Pakistani terrorists at an army camp in Uri.

An officer and three soldiers were killed while fighting the terrorists when they barged into the base around 5.30 am and fired indiscriminately. The terrorists entered two buildings occupied by officers and their families. After several hours, a dozen soldiers, two women and two children were rescued, but in the operation, a second officer and two more soldiers were killed.

The Nagrota base is one of four command centres in Jammu and Kashmir and home to over 1,000 officers. It is the headquarters of the army's 16 Corps, a massive military formation that defends the borders and fights terrorists in the greater Jammu region.

All schools were shut down in the vicinity and traffic has been stopped on the highway, which is very close to the army base. Security has also been tightened at the Vaishnodevi shrine some 30 km away.
