NOB- Jammu and Kashmir news: Responding to the terror attack on civilians in Gagangir area of Ganderbal district of Jammu and Kashmir, Former Deputy Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kavinder Gupta said that the terrorists were a cowardly form of Pakistan sponsored terrorism. “This is a cowardly form of Pakistan’s sponsored terrorism. People from other states come here to earn a livelihood. Firing on them is a very shameful act. Elections were held here and a good atmosphere was formed. They only wanted to impact the atmosphere here. They wanted to restart terrorism in Jammu Kashmir. This is the second incident in two or three days. A new strategy needs to be formed. The security forces are doing a good job, and I think they will be neutralized soon”. Further, he said that the incident has created fear among the people and that people needed to be careful in the future. Meanwhile, Congress leader Ravinder Sharma said that “this is a very unfortunate incident. Doctors and innocent people were attacked. Our security forces and army will take revenge on this. With the elections already done, the Jammu Kashmir government should take action on this and work on punishing the culprits. I pray for the speedy recovery of the injured. We will have to make sure these incidents don’t occur in the future again”. Going into details, two labourers were killed in a terror attack in Gagangir area of Jammu and Kashmir’s Ganderbal district on 20.10.2024 evening, officials said.
