NEW DELHI, June 27 (Xinhua) -- A three-member team from India's federal home ministry will visit Indian-controlled Kashmir to find out lapses involved in the deadly attack on paramilitary troopers, officials said Monday.
The team is likely to visit the restive region on Tuesday.
On Saturday, eight paramilitary troopers of India's Central Reserve Police (CRPF) were killed and 21 others wounded after militants attacked their bus in Pampore town of Pulwama district, about 24 km south of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
