The top cop said the three laborers were transported to the hospital after being fired upon by terrorists, but they succumbed to their injuries.
“The incident took place in a densely forested area, but security forces have swiftly reached the location and cordoned off the area,” he said.
“Very sad news of a dastardly & cowardly attack on non-local labourers at Gagangir in Sonamarg region. These people were working on a key infrastructure project in the area. 2 have been killed & 2-3 more have been injured in this militant attack. I strongly condemn this attack on unarmed innocent people & send my condolences to their loved ones,” Omar Abdullah said in a post on Social media.(KNS).
