Jammu, Oct 21: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha stated that two foreign terrorists, suspected to have infiltrated from north Kashmir’s Bandipora area, were likely involved in the deadly attack in Ganderbal district that claimed seven lives.
The attack took place at a tunnel-construction site on the Srinagar-Leh national highway in Ganderbal on Sunday, where a doctor and six laborers were killed. According to officials, the terrorists targeted the site when the workers and staff had returned to their camp for the evening.
Sinha revealed that preliminary investigations suggest the attackers, who wore masks, entered the mess hall of the company involved in the Z-morh tunnel construction and opened fire indiscriminately, killing seven and injuring four others. The Lieutenant Governor emphasized that the police and security forces have been given full freedom and clear instructions to track down and eliminate the perpetrators of this heinous act.
He further noted that the two terrorists are believed to have infiltrated from the Bandipora area of north Kashmir and assured that they are being tracked and will soon be neutralized.
