Migrant workers in Kashmir are again the target of terrorists. This is the second terrorist attack on migrant workers within five days. These attacks have once again raised questions about the safety of more than 50 thousand migrant workers working in the valley. This is the fifth terrorist attack on non-Kashmiris in Kashmir so far this year.
According to the information, terrorists had carried out similar terrorist attacks on migrant workers in 2021. On October 16 and 17, 2021, four laborers from Bihar and UP were shot dead. Then migrant laborers migrated from the valley on a large scale. Now again efforts are being made to create a similar atmosphere in Kashmir.
There are a large number of outside laborers in Kashmir.
Let us tell you that migrant laborers work in all the big projects running in different districts of Kashmir. Laborers from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Punjab work in apple orchards and packing in Kashmir. They work on various projects for construction companies. Even in Kashmir, there is a large number of them among the local fruit and vegetable sellers. These laborers are also employed in railway schemes.
Attacks on migrants this year
On April 8, a terrorist attack was carried out on Delhi cab driver Paramjeet Singh in Shopian.
On April 17, Raju Shah, a resident of Bihar, was killed in Anantnag.
In February, two people from Punjab were shot dead in Srinagar.
Attack on the camp of a company constructing a tunnel in Ganderbal
On Sunday night, terrorists attacked migrant laborers working for a company constructing the Z-Morh tunnel in the Gagangir area near Sonamarg on the Srinagar-Leh highway in Ganderbal, killing a doctor and six laborers.
The laborers killed include both Kashmiris and non-Kashmiris. Five injured are being treated. This is being described as the biggest attack on migrant laborers in recent years. The terrorists are said to be two. This incident happened a day after Bihar laborer Ashok Chauhan was killed in a terrorist attack in Shopian.
In the last three days, seven migrant laborers have been killed in terrorist attacks. The Resistance Front (TRF), an affiliate of the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
In Gagangir Gund in Ganderbal in central Kashmir, terrorists opened indiscriminate fire on the camp of the workers of the tunnel-building company APCO. In this, two laborers died on the spot, while five others injured were admitted to the hospital. Among the injured, a Kashmiri doctor and four other laborers died during treatment.
Security forces have cordoned off the area and started a search operation. Officers obtained information about the incident from the laborers. IG VK Virdi is also on the spot. Divisional Commissioner and DC Srinagar enquired about the condition of the injured at SKIMS Hospital.
Names of the deceased
Dr. Shahnawaz (Budgam), Faheem Nazir, Kalim and Mohammad Hanif (all Bihar), Shashi Abrol (Jammu), Anil Shukla (Madhya Pradesh) and Gurmeet Singh (Punjab)
Additional forces were deployed to protect the camp.
After the incident, vigilance has been increased in the entire area. Additional forces have been deployed to protect the camp of migrant laborers. Vehicles are also being searched.
The attack on civilians in Gagangir is condemnable. Our security forces will give a strong response to those who have carried out this heinous act. On this occasion, our condolences are with the victim's families. Amit Shah, Home Minister
I condemn the terrorist attack. I assure the people that whoever is behind this will not go unpunished. The police, army, and security forces have been given complete freedom. They will ensure that the terrorists will have to pay a heavy price. The whole country stands together in this hour of grief. Manoj Sinha, Lieutenant Governor
The cowardly attack is extremely sad. These people were working on a major infrastructure project in the area. I strongly condemn this attack on unarmed innocent people and offer my condolences to their loved ones. Wishing the injured a speedy recovery. -Omar Abdullah, Chief Minister
