Is Cassandra counter column strongly consistent ? Will it have issues like lost updates or dirty read?

No, they are not strong-consistent. They are also not idempotent and don't handle retry logic gracefully.
If you're planning to use them, I'd give this article by Paddy Byers a read: https://ably.com/blog/cassandra-counter-columns-nice-in-theory-hazardous-in-practice
