Police have also registered a case and investigations have been taken up.
Security forces had already strengthened security around the areas where the non-local labourers are residing, especially in the vulnerable areas of Kashmir.
This is not for the first time that the non-local labourers were targeted by the militants in Kashmir. Earlier as well, the militants targeted several non-local labourers across the Valley.
Militants also targeted police officers and political workers and this year so far 17 persons were killed in these attacks. But security forces killed all those militants who were responsible for these targeted killings. So far, over 120 militants were killed in Kashmir.
Security forces are putting more pressure on the remaining militants, the OGWs and their sympathizers to wipe out militancy from Kashmir.
Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh yesterday said that Pakistan was playing bloody game in Kashmir through Hurriyat Conference, militants and other anti-peace elements but that has been defeated.
He had said that the Hurriyat Conference and other anti-peace elements used to play a “bloody game” in Kashmir on behalf of their mentors across.
“Almost all the anti-peace elements have been wiped out and those remaining will be cleared off soon,” Singh said.
