Chief Minister Omar Abdullah faced criticism from netizens for labelling the Gagangir attack a ‘militant attack’ instead of a ‘terror attack.’

Jammu and Kashmir leaders, including Deputy Chief Minister and Chief Minister, have strongly condemned the Gagangir terror attack that left two laborers dead. Authorities are conducting a search operation.

Union territory minister Satish Sharma, condemning the Gagangir terror attack, said the paramilitary forces were capable of giving a befitting reply

The attack took place when the labourers and other staff working on the tunnel project at Gund in Ganderbal had returned to their camp late in the evening.
