The recent Gagangir terror attack in Kashmir has left families mourning as seven people, including a doctor, were killed. Shashi Bhushan Abrol's family, one of the victims, expressed their grief and demanded justice, emphasizing that he was the sole breadwinner for his family. "These terrorists should be killed," said Abrol's brother.
The attack occurred on the Srinagar-Leh national highway near a tunnel construction site in Ganderbal district. Unidentified assailants targeted laborers and staff as they were heading back to their camp in Gund. The tragedy underscores the vulnerability of workers and has led to widespread condemnation.
National Conference President Farooq Abdullah condemned the attack, pointing fingers at Pakistan. "Kashmir Pakistan nahi Banega," he stated, urging for an end to terrorism and urging Pakistan to halt support for such activities. An NIA team is set to arrive at the attack site to lead the investigation.
