SRINAGAR: Terrorists attacked and wounded two migrant labourers—a man from Bihar and another from Nepal—when they were working in a private school at Wanihama in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Thursday afternoon.
Both were admitted to hospital and a search was launched to catch the attackers, who escaped after firing at the labourers at the privately run Sabir Abdullah Public School.
This was the sixth attack on migrant workers in J&K this year, adding to the spate of targeted attacks that have left at least 10 labourers and four Kashmiri Pandits dead in the Union territory.
Terrorists are known to pick “soft targets” like migrant labourers—the seasonal workforce that do hard menial labour on farms and construction sites.
Thursday’s attack followed a fatal grenade attack on two apple-pickers from UP’s Kannauj sleeping in their tin shack in south Kashmir’s Shopian district on October 18. Three days before that Kashmiri Pandit farmer Puran Kumar Bhat, 43, was shot dead in Shopian.
