Huge accommodation for CRPF personnel coming up in Kashmir

Srinagar, Oct 12 (UNI) The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will construct a group centre on 125 acre of land in Lethpora village of Pulwama district in south Kashmir to meet the shortage of accommodation for its personnel in the Valley.
