A series of terrorist attacks in the valley has been on the rise as two migrant workers from UP were wounded in a suspected terrorist strike on a Jal Jeevan Mission project site at Mazhama in central Kashmir's Budgam district, making this the sixth targeted attack on non-natives in J&K this year and the third after the new govt headed by Omar Abdullah assumed office on Oct 16.
On Oct 18, the bullet-riddled body of a 30-year-old migrant labourer from Bihar's Banka district was found in a maize field near Rambiara river in south Kashmir's Shopian district. The labourer, Ashok Chauhan, had been abducted and killed by terrorists. Barely a week later, on Oct 24, a 19-year-old barber named Shubam Kumar from UP's Bijnor suffered a gunshot wound in his right arm in a terrorist attack at Batagund village in south Kashmir’s Pulwama.
