Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
"Pained beyond words on despicable terror attack on civilians in Shopian. My thoughts are with the family of Sunil Kumar. Praying for speedy recovery of injured. The attack deserves strongest condemnation from everyone. Terrorists responsible for barbaric act will not be spared," office of the L-G J&K tweeted.
Former chiefMinister of Jammu and Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti, too,deplored the attack and said that the central government's claim of normalcy in the valley is "farce".
''Terribly sorry to hear about the targeted killing in Shopian. Condolences to the deceased’s family. GOI continues to behave like an ostrich with its head buried deep under the sand. Every resident of J&K has become cannon fodder in Delhi’s quest for ‘manufactured normalcy,'' said Mufti.
There have been a spate of targetted killings by the terrorists in the Kashmir valley over the past week. On Sunday, a policeman was killed in Nowhatta and a migrant labourer in Bandipora last week.
A joint cordon and search operation has been started by the forces in the area after the attack.
Two grenade attacks took place in Budgam and Srinagar districts on Monday.
