In a shocking attack on Sunday evening, seven people including migrant workers were shot dead by terrorists in the Sonamarg area of Ganderbal district. The incident occurred near an under-construction tunnel, where the victims were working as part of a construction team.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is stepping in to investigate the terror attack, with teams expected to arrive at the site shortly to gather evidence and determine the motives behind this brutal act.
