Srinagar, 22 October (H.S.):

Jammu

and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said two foreign terrorists, who

have possibly infiltrated from north Kashmir’s Bandipora area, were involved in

an attack that left seven people dead in Ganderbal district a day before.

A

doctor and six labourers were killed when terrorists struck a tunnel-construction

site on the Srinagar-Leh national highway in Ganderbal on Sunday, officials

said.

The unidentified terrorists carried out the attack when the labourers and other

staff working on the tunnel project at Ganderbal’s Gund had returned to their

camp late in the evening, they added.

Sinha said police and other security forces have been given instructions and

full freedom to track down and eliminate the perpetrators of the heinous act.

“According to an initial investigation, two people with masks covering their

faces both possibly foreign terrorists entered the mess of the company

constructing the Z-morh tunnel and opened indiscriminate fire. Seven people

were killed and four injured,” he said.

Sinha further said both the terrorists reportedly infiltrated from the

Bandipora area of north Kashmir. “They are being tracked and will be neutralised,”

he said.
