PATNA: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on Sunday spoke to Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha over phone and expressed his “serious concern” over the killing of two more persons from Bihar in targeted attacks on non-locals in Jammu & Kashmir.
In yet another targeted terrorist attack on non-locals, two workers from Bihar were killed and a third was critically injured in Kulgam district in south Kashmir. The incident occurred in Wanpoh area of Kulgam, where the terrorists entered a house where the workers from Bihar were staying and fired on them. Three people from Bihar received bullet injuries and two of them died.
The two were later identified as Jogendra Rishidev and Raja Rishidev, while one Chunchun Rishidev was injured in the attack. His condition is stated to be stable.
“I am deeply hurt after receiving the news about the killings of two more Bihar natives. This incident is saddening,” Nitish said in a statement.
He announced payment of Rs 2lakh ex gratia to the kin of each victim from the CM Relief Fund. He also asked officials to provide other assistance to the families of both the deceased under different schemes of the state’s labour resources department and the social welfare department.
Altogether four natives of Bihar have so far been killed in targeted attacks in J&K in the last two weeks.
On Saturday, Arvind Kumar Sah, from Bihar’s Banka district, was killed in a terrorist attack. Arvind used to sell ‘panipuri’ in Srinagar.
