Chief Minister Omar Abdullah condemned the Kulgam terror attack that claimed the lives of two migrant labourers on July 31. He described the attack as “very unfortunate” and stressed that no religion allows for the killing of innocent individuals.

During a press briefing, Abdullah reiterated his strong stance against violence, saying, “Words are not enough to condemn it. This killing shouldn’t have happened.” The attack occurred in Kulgam district at a brick kiln, where migrant workers from Chhattisgarh tragically lost their lives.

Abdullah expressed confidence in the local security forces, hoping that they will implement effective measures to prevent such incidents in the future. He remarked, “It is expected from those whose responsibility it is to maintain security that they will not let such attacks take place.” The Chief Minister’s words underscore a commitment to uphold peace in a region long affected by violence.

The horrific incident has raised alarm among the local community and migrant workers, igniting discussions on safety and security in conflict-prone areas. Officials are now focusing on a comprehensive approach to enhance the security grid, aiming to provide a safer environment for all residents, especially migrant labourers who often face heightened risks.

As the investigation continues, Abdullah urged the community to remain vigilant and support security efforts in ensuring that such acts of terror do not reoccur. He emphasized, “No religion permits the shedding of the blood of innocents.” The repercussions of this attack highlight the ongoing struggle against terrorism and the imperative to protect vulnerable populations.
