In a tragic incident, six migrant workers and a doctor lost their lives in a terrorist attack at a laborers' camp in Ganderbal, Kashmir. The attack, believed to be carried out by suspected Pakistani terrorists, targeted non-local workers, causing widespread fear and condemnation. This marks the second terror incident since the new coalition government, led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, took office on October 16.
The assailants launched the attack in the dead of night, catching the camp's inhabitants off guard. While no terror group has officially claimed responsibility, the involvement of Pakistan-backed militants is suspected. Authorities have launched a search operation in the region to hunt down the perpetrators.
Home Minister Amit Shah has condemned the incident, calling for stringent action against those involved. "The safety of every individual in Kashmir is our priority. We will ensure justice for the victims and their families," Shah said in a statement, directing security agencies to intensify counter-terrorism measures.
This attack has raised concerns about the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in the wake of the new government's formation. The incident has sparked a call for stronger security protocols to safeguard civilians, especially non-local workers in the region who are increasingly becoming targets of terror attacks.
Further details are awaited as investigations continue, with security forces working tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice and restore calm in the area.
