Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], May 31 : Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday condemned the killing of a woman school teacher in Kulgam by terrorists.
"Terrorist attack on a school teacher, Rajni Bala is the most reprehensible act. My deepest condolences to the bereaved family. Terrorists and their sympathizers will be given an unforgettable response for the dastardly attack," said the Office of Jammu and Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha in a Twitter post.
National Conference leader and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also condemned the targeted killings in UT.
"Very sad. This is yet another targeted killing in a long list of recent attacks directed at unarmed civilians. Words of condemnation and condolence ring hollow as do the assurances of the government that they will not rest till the situation normalises. May the deceased rest in peace," Abdullah said in a tweet.
A woman teacher was killed in Kulgam after terrorists fired at her on Tuesday.
According to Jammu and Kashmir Police, the incident took place in the High School Gopalpora area of Kulgam. The teacher was taken to a hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. The victim was a resident of Samba in the Jammu division. Police have cordoned off the area.
"Injured lady teacher, a Hindu and resident of Samba (Jammu division) succumbed to her injuries. Terrorists involved in this gruesome terror crime will be soon identified and neutralised," said Kashmir Zone Police.
The incident took place days after Kashmiri TV actor Amreen Bhat was killed by unidentified terrorists in Budgam's Chadoora area in Jammu and Kashmir on May 25, while her 10-year-old nephew was injured.
Earlier, Rahul Bhatt, an employee of the Tehsil office in the Budgam district's Chadoora, was shot dead by terrorists in the Budgam on May 12, reminding the Jammu and Kashmir administration of a targeting killing.
