To this day, we don’t know who killed them, who the murderers were,” he added.
He said that the attack, which took place at night, targeted workers who had come to Ganderbal to earn their livelihood. The workers, hailing from different states, were innocent victims of terror, leaving their families in deep shock and despair.
Locals described the atmosphere as one filled with fear, where people leave their homes every day, unsure of their safety.
The families of the victims have appealed to both the central and J&K governments to take swift action. “We need justice, and we urge the government to act firmly against those responsible.”(KNS)
