21 October, 2024;Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha visited the SKIMS Hospital in Srinagar today to check on the condition of civilians who were injured in the recent terror attack in Gagangir, Ganderbal district. The attack, which took place on Sunday, October 20, left a doctor and six construction workers dead when terrorists opened fire at a construction site in the area.
During his visit, Lieutenant Governor Sinha expressed his deep concern for the well-being of the injured and assured their families that the government is committed to providing all necessary medical assistance and support. He interacted with the medical staff at the hospital and directed them to ensure that the injured receive the best possible treatment.
The tragic attack has left the region in shock, as it targeted workers involved in a local construction project. Security forces have since launched a large-scale operation to track down the terrorists responsible for the attack. The Gagangir incident marks another act of violence in a region that has been striving for peace and development amid ongoing security challenges.
Lieutenant Governor Sinha condemned the attack, reiterating that such acts of violence would not deter the government’s efforts to bring stability and development to Jammu and Kashmir. “The perpetrators of this heinous act will be brought to justice,” he said, adding that the administration would ensure the safety and security of the people working in the region.
The attack has sparked widespread condemnation from various political leaders and citizens across the state. Many have called for increased security measures to protect civilians and workers engaged in development projects in conflict-affected areas.
As investigations continue, the incident highlights the ongoing security concerns in Jammu and Kashmir, where efforts to restore peace are frequently challenged by acts of terror.
