New Delhi [India], Sept. 18 (ANI): Strongly condemning the Uri terror attack, President Pranab Mukherjee on Sunday said India will not be cowed down by such attacks, adding that it would thwart the evil designs of terrorists and their backers. "Strongly condemn outrageous terrorist attack on Army base in Uri; tributes to brave soldiers who made supreme sacrifice. Heartfelt condolences to families of those bereaved in Uri terrorist attack; prayers for speedy recovery of injured. India will not be cowed down by such attacks, we will thwart the evil designs of terrorists and their backers," President Mukherjee tweeted. At least 17 soldiers were killed in the gun battle at the base, which is around 100 km from state capital Srinagar. Combing operations are currently underway to ensure no untoward element still persists in the Army perimeters. Meanwhile, Army Chief General Dalbir Singh has reached Srinagar where he will meet the injured soldiers. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also condemned the attack and assured the nation that those behind this despicable attack will not go unpunished. "We salute all those martyred in Uri. Their service to the nation will always be remembered. My thoughts are with the bereaved families," Prime Minister Modi tweeted. "Have spoken to HM & RM on the situation.
