In Jammu region 73 people were injured, while in Kashmir Valley 18 persons were wounded, Minister of State for Home Sajjad Ahmed Kitchloo said answering questions.
Operation Parakram, which saw massing of troops on either side of the International Border (IB) and along the Line of Control (LoC) in the region of Kashmir, took place soon after the December 13, 2001 terror attack on Parliament.
