NEW DELHI: Militants on Sunday attacked the Tourist Reception Centre (TRC) and weekly market in Srinagar , Jammu and Kashmir with a grenade . The incident resulted in injuries to five individuals.
The attack took place in a crowded flea market in the heart of the city near the heavily-guarded TRC. Authorities quickly responded to the scene and provided immediate medical assistance to the injured. A Forensic team also reached the site of grenade attack for inspection.
Reacting to the news, J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah tweeted, "The last few days have been dominated by headlines of attacks & encounters in parts of the valley. Today’s news of a grenade attack on innocent shoppers at the ‘Sunday market’ in Srinagar is deeply disturbing. There can be no justification for targeting innocent civilians. The security apparatus must do everything possible to end this spurt of attacks at the earliest so that people can go about their lives without any fear."
Alleging that the attack is part of a conspiracy to disturb the atmosphere, J&K Congress leader Ravinder Sharma said, "This is a conspiracy to disturb the atmosphere here. Such incidents have increased ever since elections have been held and the new government has been formed."
This comes a day after a top Pakistani commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) was eliminated by security forces in the Khanyar locality of downtown Srinagar.
The explosion caused panic in the area and sent shoppers scrambling for cover.
