Srinagar: National Conference (NC) President and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister, Dr. Farooq Abdullah, has expressed deep sorrow over the accidental explosion that took place at the Nowgam Police Station in Srinagar on Friday night.
The blast, which the Ministry of Home Affairs and J&K Police have confirmed was an accident, resulted in the tragic loss of nine lives, including police officials, forensic experts, and revenue staff, with several others injured. The incident happened while agencies were preparing samples from a large amount of unstable explosive material seized recently in connection with a terror module case.
Dr. Abdullah, speaking to the media on Saturday, called the incident "extremely tragic and painful." He offered his sincere condolences to the families who lost their loved ones, stating that the entire region stands with them in this hour of grief.
The JKNC chief stressed the dedication and risk faced by the police and technical teams. He also raised concerns about the procedures followed, suggesting that a detailed review of handling protocols is necessary. “The unfortunate accident shows that we must consult highly specialized expertise who know best how to handle such sensitive and unstable explosives,” Dr. Abdullah stated, emphasizing the need for better training and infrastructure to avoid future loss of life during similar security operations. He further stated, "These people sacrifice their lives to protect us. It is a very sad day for Jammu and Kashmir."
