According to sources, the terrorist group has been active in Kashmir, targeting Kashmiri Sikhs, Pandits, and temporary workers for the past one-and-a-half years. They aim to do something big. Yesterday Sunday (October 20, 2024) a doctor and six laborers were killed by terrorists near the Gagangir area of Jammu and Kashmir’s Ganderbal district. Given this incident, Chief Minister of Jammu-Kashmir Omar Abdullah wrote in his Twitter post, “Firing on local workers is a despicable and cowardly act.”
Terrorist Group
The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ganderbal district. TRF chief Sheikh Sajjad Gul masterminded the attack. It was on his orders that these attacks were carried out targeting Kashmiris and non-Kashmiris. The TRF has been active in Kashmir and has been targeting Pandits, Sikhs, and migrant workers for the past year and a half.
According to sources, the terrorist group has been carrying out attacks for the past month – on a construction site in the Sonamarg area of Ganderbal district. They had been running a plan here for a long time. And it is also known that two to three terrorists are carrying out the murder.
According to initial reports, doctors and laborers were working on the tunnel project, which connects Gagnir with Sonamarg in Ganderbal. Officials told news agency PTI that the terrorists carried out the attack when workers and other workers working on the Gunde Tunnel project in Ganderbal were returning to their camp in the evening. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister “Omar Abdullah” has strongly condemned the attack on these unarmed innocent people.
Sunday’s attack in Ganderbal came after terrorists killed a migrant worker from Bihar in Shopian district on October 18. This year in April last year, a migrant worker was shot dead by terrorists in an attack in Anantnag district, followed by a similar attack. Following the incident, the police and army cordoned off the area to nab the attackers.
Terror incident in Gangangir, Ganderbal. Security forces have secured the area. Details will follow,” Jammu and Kashmir police said in a Twitter post.
Union Minister Mr. Nitin Gadkari condemned the “horrific terror attack. He said in his Twitter post that innocent workers were engaged in an important infrastructure project. He strongly condemns this terrorist attack. I pay my humble respects to the martyred workers and express my deepest condolences to their families at this difficult time.”
