Two Chhattisgarh Laborers Killed in Targeted Attack in South Kashmir
Two migrant workers from Chhattisgarh were fatally shot by unidentified gunmen at a brick kiln in Kulgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The victims, both in their 20s, had traveled to the region for seasonal employment.
Two migrant laborers from Chhattisgarh were killed in a targeted shooting late Friday evening in the Kelam area of Kulgam district, South Kashmir. The victims, both in their 20s, were working at a local brick kiln when they were approached and gunned down by unidentified assailants.
Local authorities have initiated an investigation into the incident, which has been characterized as a terrorist attack. The killings have prompted concerns regarding the safety of migrant workers in the Kashmir Valley, a demographic that frequently travels to the region for seasonal labor during the brick-making season. While the identity of the perpetrators remains unconfirmed, security forces have cordoned off the area to conduct search operations.
This incident follows a pattern of targeted violence against non-local laborers in the region, which has historically been used to create instability and fear. The victims' families in Chhattisgarh have been notified, and arrangements are being made to transport the bodies back to their home state. No group has immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, and police are currently reviewing evidence from the scene to determine the motive and the identities of those involved.
