Kulgam, May 31, 2022: A migrant Kashmiri woman was shot at by terrorists in the Gopalpora area of Kulgam district in south Kashmir on Tuesday. She later succumbed to her wounds.

 

The woman was a school teacher and a resident of Samba in the Jammu division, police said. Security forces have been rushed to the area where the attack took place.

That attack is the latest in a series of civilian killings in the Valley. On May 12, revenue department employee Rahul Bhat was killed by militants in Budgam district. Last week, TV artist Amreen Bhat died after Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists opened fire at her in the Chadoora area of Budgam.

National Conference leader Omar Abdullah expressed pain over the incident and said, "Very sad. This is yet another targeted killing in a long list of recent attacks directed at unarmed civilians. Words of condemnation & condolence ring hollow as do the assurances of the government that they will not rest till situation normalises. May the deceased rest in peace. (sic)"

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti condemned the attack and lashed out at the government over the recent spate of civilian killings.

"Despite GOIs fake claims about Kashmir being normal its obvious that targeted civilian killings are on the rise & a deep cause of concern. Condemn this act of cowardice which sadly plays into the vicious anti muslim narrative spun by BJP (sic)," Mufti said in a tweet.
