A major terrorist attack in Jammu & Kashmir, which occurred shortly after the assembly elections, has claimed seven lives so far. The responsibility for this attack has been claimed by a relatively new terrorist organization in the region called The Resistance Front (TRF),

Terror reared its ugly head in Jammu-Kashmir once again on Sunday night. Two terrorists, allegedly belonging to The Resistance Front, opened fire at a Ganderbal campsite of labourers, killing six migrant workers and a doctor.

In a joint operation, the armed forces killed one heavily armed terrorist and recovered arms and ammunition in Baramulla district, Jammu and Kashmir. In a statement, the authorities said a war-like store of ammunition was found at the encounter site.

At least six migrant workers and a doctor were shot dead in India's Kashmir region on Sunday night when militants opened fire near a tunnel construction site, officials said, days after a new government was formed in the territory.

Gunmen killed at least seven workers, and injured five others, at a key tunnel project in Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday, according to the police, making it one of the worst attacks on an infrastructure project in the volatile Indian region.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah strongly condemned the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Ganderbal which claimed seven lives on Sunday. The terrorists targeted a tunnel construction site on the Srinagar-Leh national highway and a doctor and six labourers were killed.
