<p>Two migrant workers from Uttar Pradesh sustained gunshot injuries in Budgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on Friday (Nov 1), following an attack by alleged terrorists. According to officials, the victims, identified as Sufiyan and Usman, are currently stable and receiving medical care.</p>

<p>The incident took place in the Mazhama area of Magam, located in Kashmir’s Budgam district, where the two were employed on the Jal Jeevan Project. Both were rushed to a hospital for treatment after the attack.</p>

<p>This attack is one among several recent terrorist incidents in the Union territory.
