In Srinagar, a grenade attack on a Sunday market has left at least a dozen people injured, with the victims quickly transported to local hospitals for treatment. The incident has heightened concerns about safety in the region, which has seen a recent increase in violence.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah condemned the attack, calling it “deeply disturbing.” He emphasized that there can be no justification for targeting innocent civilians, particularly in places where people are simply going about their daily lives. Abdullah noted that the last few days have been marked by reports of violence and encounters in the valley, making this attack all the more alarming.
He urged the security forces to intensify their efforts to curb the surge in attacks, highlighting the need for the community to feel safe and secure. Abdullah’s statement reflects a broader concern for public safety in a region that has faced ongoing challenges related to terrorism and conflict. As details of the incident continue to unfold, there is a pressing call for a renewed focus on protecting civilians and restoring a sense of normalcy in the area. Further updates on the condition of the injured and the response from security agencies are awaited.
