Tragic Terror Attack Claims Lives of Two Laborers in Jammu and Kashmir

Terror Attack in Kulgam District

On August 1, a tragic incident unfolded in the Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir, where two laborers from Chhattisgarh lost their lives due to a terrorist attack at a brick kiln. Officials reported the details on Saturday, indicating that the assailants targeted workers late Friday evening in the Kelam area of South Kashmir.

Both laborers sustained injuries during the attack. One of them, Deepak Ratre, succumbed to his injuries before reaching the hospital. The other injured worker, Bopinder, was initially taken to GMC Anantnag and later referred to SKIMS hospital in Soura.

Unfortunately, he also passed away while receiving treatment. Authorities noted that both victims were aged between 20 and 30 and hailed from Chhattisgarh. This attack comes just ten days after a police officer was reportedly shot dead by terrorists in Anantnag city.

Earlier this year, on February 7, 2024, two laborers from Punjab were also murdered by terrorists in the Shahr-e-Ganj area of Srinagar.
