Second attack on migrant labourers in ten days in Anantnag
Saturday evening was the second attack on migrant labourers in south Kashmir's Anantnag district. Earlier on November 4, terrorists shot at and grievously injured two migrant workers in south Kashmir's Anantnag district.
The migrant workers – one from Bihar and another from Nepal – were shot at a private school where they were working.
Police have identified the injured workers as Bekku Ram, a resident of Bihar, and Tej Bahadur of Nepal.
This year, terrorists have carried out a series of attacks on workers from outside Kashmir and also the members of the minority community. In the last one year, 10 non-local workers including a bank manager have been killed by the terrorists while over a dozen have been injured.
On October 18, two labourers from Uttar Pradesh were killed after terrorists hurled a grenade at non-locals in the Herman area of the Shopian district.
The non-local labourers were identified as Manish Kumar and Ram Sagar. Both the victims are residents of the Kannauj district of Uttar Pradesh. Manish Kumar and Ram Sagar were attacked by terrorists when they were asleep in a tin shed. As many as five labourers were sleeping in a shed when a hand grenade was lobbed inside the shed.
