Srinagar: A doctor and six construction workers were killed when terrorists opened fire at a construction site at Gagangir in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ganderbal district, official sources said Sunday.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah called the attack on non-local labourers “dastardly and cowardly”.
“Praying that the injured make a full recovery as the more seriously injured are being referred to SKIMS, Srinagar,” Mr Abdullah posted on X.
The terrorists had opened fire on a camp housing workers of a private company, who were working on an under-construction tunnel in Gund area. The police and army have cordoed off the area to track the attackers.
The attack occurred on a day when Kashmir hosted its first international marathon, attracting around 1700 participants, including several renowned athletes.
