Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju on Monday said it was too early to give out details of the Gurdaspur terror attack.

"The Central paramilitary forces have been rushed in. Let more detail come in, then we will talk. Since the encounter is currently underway, it won't be proper to give everything out," said Rijiju.

"All the nearby Central forces are on alert and if needed then they will be rushed to the spot of the encounter," he added.

One militant has been killed while a Punjab Special Service Group (SSG) jawan has sustained injuries in the ongoing operations.

The death toll in the attack has now risen to eight, including six civilians and two home guards. Four civilians have also sustained injuries.
