The country's largest paramilitary force put out a tweet from its official handle saying, "We will not forget, we will not forgive."
"We salute our martyrs of Pulwama attack and stand with the families of our martyr brothers. This heinous attack will be avenged," it said in the social media post. The force said that "in memory of the martyrs of the terrorist attack", all formations of the Central Reserve Police Force observed two minutes of silence and the force flag will fly half-mast on Friday.
The toll in the attack has risen to 40 even as a full Court of Inquiry has been ordered by the CRPF headquarters in Delhi.
Over 3-lakh personnel, strong paramilitary force is deployed as the lead combat unit against terrorism and insurgency in the Kashmir Valley and has deployed about 60,000 personnel (as part of 60 battalions) in the internal security grid of the state.
