Well-armed militants after surrounding the post, about 50 kms south of here, opened fire at the security personnel.
The exchange of fire between the security personnel and the militants lasted for more than 30 minutes, they said. While on the CRPF's side there were no casualties, it was not known if any of the militants was killed or injured, the sources added.
