Srinagar: Two migrant workers have been killed in a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district. Police sources said terrorists fired at two non-local workers at Kellam village in Kulgam district on Friday evening.
While one person died on the spot, another who was shifted to the hospital died during the treatment. Deepak, who died in the attack, was a resident of Chhattisgarh. The other man who died in hospital has been identified as Bhupender, who is also from Chhattisgarh.
A major cordon and search operation has been launched in the area to track down the attackers.
This is the second targeted attack by terrorists in the last 10 days. Last week, a policeman was killed in a targeted attack in Anantnag.
Following the killings, a major police crackdown was launched across Kashmir and over 3,000 “suspects” have been detained.
Following the mass detentions, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah warned that it may only worsen the situation.
The attacks have come amid the ongoing Amarnath Yatra.
Besides the existing overwhelming security structure in Kashmir, 670 additional companies of paramilitary troops have been deployed for security during the yatra.
