Ganderbal: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has expressed condemnation over the terror attack in the Gagangir area of Ganderbal that claimed the lives of at least seven labourers and injured five others. The incident occurred in Gagangir located in the Sonamarg region, where the workers were engaged in a crucial tunnel project aimed at enhancing local infrastructure. Abdullah described the attack as "dastardly and cowardly," emphasizing that these innocent individuals were unarmed and simply trying to earn a living.

The seven labourers, who were part of a team working on an infrastructure initiative in Ganderbal, were targeted while they were at their site.
