Srinagar, Aug 4: Describing the eve of August 5 as a dark night in Jammu and Kashmir's history, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday announced that she would stay the night at the party headquarters, fearing house arrest or detention ahead of Wednesday's protests marking the anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370. She said the people of Jammu and Kashmir would continue their struggle until Articles 370 and 35A were restored and the Kashmir issue found a peaceful resolution. Tonight is a dark night for Jammu and Kashmir. We have come out to protest because it was on this night that a conspiracy was carried out and the special position that the Constitution of this country had given to Jammu and Kashmirnot China, not Pakistanwas taken away, Mufti said. Mufti said the PDP would continue its agitation until the constitutional provisions were restored and the Kashmir issue was resolved peacefully. We will not remain silent until there is a peaceful resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir issue and the restoration of Articles 370 and 35A. This is about our identity, she said. Taking aim at political discourse centred on statehood, she said, Many people keep talking only about statehood so that people forget everything else. She also alleged that ordinary people continued to bear the brunt of security measures following militant attacks. When a constable is martyred, why are thousands of people jailed? Yesterday, two labourers from Chhattisgarh were killed. After that, thousands were again detained. Militants have fled their homes, but their family homes are demolished and employees are dismissed from their jobs. Thousands of our people are in jail. Nobody talks about it, she said. Questioning the government's claims of normalcy, Mufti asked: If they claim the situation has improved, then why don't they send the Army back to the barracks? Why can't civilians live freely? Why is there so much oppression? She maintained that the abrogation of Article 370 remained unacceptable to the people of Kashmir. The people are silent, frightened and intimidated. But no Kashmiri can accept the end of Article 370 because it protects our identity, our land and our jobs. We will fight for it till our last breath, she said. During the protest, Mufti also criticised the alleged handling of demonstrators by the police, claiming a woman officer had manhandled her daughter, Iltija Mufti. If she herself is a woman and laid hands on Iltija's clothes, then she has made a very serious mistake. We were protesting peacefully, she said. Explaining the display of both the Indian tricolour and the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state flag, Mufti said: Both these flags are ours. Both were given to us by the Constitution of this country. One flag was kept and the other was snatched away. Until it is restored, and until there is a peaceful resolution of the Jammu and Kashmir issue, our struggle will continue. Mufti, however, said the restoration of Article 370 alone would not resolve the conflict. I do not speak only about Article 370. We had Article 370 before as well, yet thousands of people were killed and enormous property was destroyed. Jammu and Kashmir is a political issue. India and Pakistan should talk to their people, address their grievances, restore what was taken from us, and allow Jammu and Kashmir to live with dignity, she said. Mufti said she would remain at the PDP headquarters overnight and protest there on Wednesday amid apprehensions that she could be placed under house arrest or detained ahead of the August 5 anniversary of the abrogation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status.

Srinagar, Aug 2:Security forces have intensified anti-terror operations and significantly strengthened security measures in Kulgam and other south Kashmir areas following the killing of two migrant labourers in a terrorist attack on Friday. At Hablishi village, around 2 km from Kilam where the attack took place on Friday evening, movement remains heavily restricted as joint teams of the Army, J&K Police and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) continue an extensive cordon-and-search operation. Armoured vehicles have been deployed on approach roads, while entry and exit to the village remain under strict security control. The attack, the first targeted killing of seasonal migrant workers in Kashmir since October 2024, has triggered a Valley-wide security alert. Additional checkpoints have been established, frisking and vehicle checking have been intensified, and security has been reinforced around brick kilns, construction sites, industrial units, and other locations employing migrant labourers. The twin villages of Hablishi and Kilam in Kulgam district are home to nearly a dozen brick kilns where hundreds of labourers from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and other states work during the April-October season. Most of them live in temporary accommodations near their workplaces, often located in isolated areas. Investigators are yet to officially identify the perpetrators, although security agencies are examining online claims made by terror groups. According to the preliminary investigation, the victims - Deepak Ratre, 24, and Bhupinder Bhaina, 25, both residents of Chhattisgarh - were sitting outside their accommodation near the brick kiln when terrorists carrying a bag approached them and engaged them in conversation. Police sources said the wife of one of the victims told investigators that the women accompanying the labourers went inside the shed after the brief conversation. Moments later, gunshots were heard. When they rushed out, they found both men lying in a pool of blood, while the attacker had escaped. Deepak Ratre died on the spot, while Bhupinder Bhaina, who had sustained critical injuries, succumbed to his injuries at a Srinagar hospital on Saturday morning despite efforts by doctors. Security officials said the nature of the attack points to a deliberate attempt to target non-local workers and create fear among the migrant community. They said such attacks are aimed at disrupting the improving security environment and affecting economic activity in the Valley. Following the attack, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha chaired a high-level security review meeting attended by Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo, Director General of Police Nalin Prabhat, and senior officers from the Army, police, and intelligence agencies. The LG directed security agencies to undertake a comprehensive review of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the protection of migrant workers and ordered intensified, intelligence-based anti-terror operations to track down and neutralise those responsible. He also instructed employers to ensure that all workers from outside J&K are covered by insurance and that their details are properly registered with local police and district authorities to strengthen security coordination. Officials said security arrangements around vulnerable locations have been reviewed, while surveillance through checkpoints, area domination patrols, and night operations has been further enhanced. Although there are no official figures, authorities estimate that between 3 lakh and 5 lakh seasonal migrant workers arrive in Kashmir every year to work in construction, agriculture, brick kilns, horticulture, and allied sectors. The latest attack has revived concerns among migrant workers, many of whom have continued working in Kashmir despite sporadic targeted killings over the past several years. Officials said the ongoing search operation in Kulgam and adjoining areas will continue until the attackers are tracked down, while security agencies have vowed to further intensify counter-terror operations to prevent similar attacks and reassure the migrant workforce.

Terrorists attacked two non-local workers at a brick-kiln in the Kelam area of Kulgam district late on Friday evening, leaving one dead on the spot and another seriously wounded. Theslainlabourer was identified as Deepak of Chhattisgarh, while the injuredBhupinder, also from Chhattisgarhwas initially referred to GMC Anantnag and later shifted to SKIMS Soura, where he died in the early hours of Saturday. Hospital sources at SKIMS confirmed that Bhupinder, who had been battling critical gunshot injuries since Friday's attack, died despite the best efforts of the medical team. His death has now raised the toll in the attack to two. The incident has sent shockwaves across J&K, with political leaders and civil society strongly condemning the killing of two labourers. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah described the attack as a cowardly act and reaffirmed their commitment to eliminating terrorism. Meanwhile, a massive search operation is underway across the forested and adjoining areas of Kulgam district, with security forces deploying additional personnel to track down the attackers. Multiple checkpoints have been established, and searches are being conducted to prevent the terrorists from escaping. The Kulgam attack marks the second major terrorist strike in south Kashmir within ten days. On July 22, terrorists shot dead Head Constable Ashiq Hussain Qureshi of the J&K Police in the Anantnag district. Police have registered a case, and investigations are underway as security agencies intensify efforts to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
Srinagar, Aug 1:Leader of Opposition in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly and senior BJP leader Sunil Sharma on Saturday strongly condemned the killing of two non-local labourers in Kulgam, terming the attack an assault on humanity and asserting that those responsible would not be spared. Speaking to reporters after meeting the bereaved families, Sharma said both victims hailed from Sakti district of Chhattisgarh and had come to Kashmir only to earn a livelihood as labourers. These cowardly terrorists have once again shown their cowardice by targeting innocent labourers who had nothing to do with the conflict. The killing of these two labourers is a killing of humanity, he said. Expressing deep grief, Sharma said that one of the deceased is survived by a one-and-a-half-year-old child, while the other has left behind a devastated wife. My heart cries when I see the condition of these families. They had come here only to earn an honest living, he said. The BJP leader blamed Pakistan-sponsored terrorism for the attack and described it as a sign of the terrorists desperation. This is the last phase of terrorism. It will not survive for long. I have complete faith in our security forces. Those who carried out this attack and those supporting or sheltering them will be brought to justice, Sharma said. He said he had spoken to the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, conveyed his condolences, and urged the state government to extend all possible assistance to the bereaved families. Sharma said that the J&K government would provide relief in accordance with existing rules and assured the families of full support during this difficult time. Referring to the recent killing of Head Constable of Budgam in Anantnag, Sharma said the Kulgam incident was the second terror attack in around 10 days and asserted that the renewed attempts by terrorists to spread fear would fail. We are standing with these families not only as a political party but as fellow human beings, he said. The two brick kiln workers from Chhattisgarh were shot at point-blank range in Kilam village of Kulgam on Friday. One died on the spot while the second, critically injured, succumbed to his injuries at a Srinagar hospital on Saturday morning. Security forces have since launched a massive search operation in the area.
