Police in Indian-controlled Kashmir say militants fire on workers from Punjab state, killing 1
Militants in Indian-controlled Kashmir fired at two workers from the northern state of Punjab, killing one and wounding another, police said Wednesday. Police blamed militants fighting against Indian rule in the disputed region for the attack in Srinagar. Kashmir has witnessed a spate of targeted killings since October 2019, two months after New Delhi stripped the region of its semi-autonomy, removed inherited protections on land and jobs and cracked down on dissent and press freedom.
