On 14 February, 2019 , as the world celebrated the day of love , the roads of Kashmir turned red with the blood of martyrs. A bomb blast occured on the Jammu-Srinagar National highway by a vehicle borne sucide bomber in Lethpora, Awantipora. Lethpora is located in the Pulwama district in Kashmir. 44 Central Reserve police force(CRPF) died in this terrorist attack. Pakistan-based millitant group, Jaish -e - Mohammad ,

is held responsible for this attack. Adil Ahmad Dar, a Kashmiri local is confirmed as the attacker.

A convoy of 78 vehicles was transporting more than 2500 CRPF in the Jammu to Srinagar highway which is NH44. A Mahindra Scorpio loaded with explosives rammed into the bus carrying the security personal. The 40 CRPF jawans who were killed were of the 76th Battalion and the blast have also injured many others. Jaish -e - Mohammad , the terrorist millitant group is claimed to be of Pakistan origin. This group of anti-socials released a video of the assailant Adil, who left his home in Kashmir on March 2016, on a bicycle and never returned back .Pakistan government stated that their nation has no involvement in such activity and they criticized such act of violence. Yet another fact is also evident that Masood Azhar ,the leader of Jaish -e -Mohammad, roams free in their nation. A 12 member National Investigation Agency (NIA) team is investigating into the matter .

United States of America , Isreal , Hungary , France ,UAE, Singapore, Russia, Bangladesh all condemned the attack on 14 February at Pulwama . Even the United Nation General Secratary himself rebuked such attack. D Sports had stopped broadcasting Pakistan's cricket league, Super League. All Indian Cine Workers Association gave a ban on Pakistani actors and artists in the film industry. Thus, we see, this is how the relations of Pakistan have been effected after blast at the district of Pulwama.

Hence, we come to a conclusion that though the situations has become intense and questions of war is coming up yet war is not the only solution. So the two nations should cooperate with each other help in eradicating terrorism .
