A labourer was shot and injured by terrorists in the Batgund Tral area of Pulwama district in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday, as confirmed by local authorities. The victim, identified as Pritam Singh from Uttar Pradesh, was targeted while he was working in the area. Security forces arrived promptly at the scene after receiving reports of the incident, and further details are awaited regarding Singh`s condition.

This attack follows closely on the heels of a more devastating terror strike that occurred just days earlier in the Ganderbal district. On October 20, a group of terrorists launched an attack at a tunnel construction site on the Srinagar-Leh national highway. Seven individuals, including a doctor and six construction workers, were killed in the incident. The terrorists ambushed the labourers and other workers as they were returning to their camp in Gund, Ganderbal.
