Terror Attack on Non-Local Labourer in Jammu and Kashmir: Another Assault in Recent Wave of Violence

Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir – A labourer from Uttar Pradesh was shot and injured by terrorists in the Tral area of Pulwama district on Thursday morning, marking the third attack on non-local workers in the region within a week. Officials reported that Shubam Kumar, a resident of Bijnor, sustained a gunshot wound to the arm during the incident in Batagund village. He has been promptly transported to a nearby hospital for medical attention.

This attack follows a deadly incident on Sunday when six non-local labourers and a local doctor were killed in a targeted assault at a construction site in Ganderbal district. Additionally, another labourer from Bihar was shot dead in a separate attack in Shopian district on October 18.

Authorities have expressed concern over the rising violence against non-local workers in the Valley, which poses significant risks to the security and safety of those contributing to the local economy. As investigations continue, the region remains on high alert amid these alarming developments.
