A day after seven persons were killed in a terror attack in Ganderbal, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday said Pakistan was still trying to kill innocent people and disrupt peace in Jammu and Kashmir.
On Sunday, a doctor from Kashmir and six non-local labourers were killed while five people sustained injuries in the terror attack at an under-construction tunnel at Gund in Ganderbal district.
“We won’t forget yesterday’s dastardly attack,” Sinha said.
The LG said there was still a threat from the “neighbouring country”. “It’s still trying to kill innocent people in this region and to destabilise peace here,” he added.
Sinha said there was a need to stop drug smuggling and improve counter-insurgency operations.
“We need to stop drug smuggling here. We need to be aware of possible threats. We need to improve counter-insurgency operations,” he said.
The J-K LG said while innocents should be protected, the guilty should not be spared.
