The terrorist attack happened on the day J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha was scheduled to attend the three-day Veshow Festival 2026 as the chief guest at the Government Degree College in Kulgam.
This is the second terrorist attack in recent months, since two migrant workers were fatally attacked by terrorists. The terrorist attack took place in August this year, in South Kashmir’s Kulgam district. Terrorists opened fire at two labourers at a brick kiln in Kelam village of Kulgam district, killing one of them (Deepak Ratray) on the spot and leaving the other (Bhupinder) seriously injured. The injured labourer was first taken to Government Medical College, Anantnag, and later shifted to SKIMS Hospital in Srinagar, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Following the terrorist attack, two terrorists were neutralised by security forces during a joint operation in the Majalta area in the Udhampur district in September 2026. The joint operation was carried out by the Indian Army Indian Army, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), and the Special Operations Group (SOG) of the Jammu and Kashmir Police.
A couple of days before the terrorists were killed, the security forces busted a terror module linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba in the Pir Panjal region. Three terrorists, namely Zakir Hussain s/o Ghulam Hussain (a resident of Kotcharwal Teryath in Rajouri), Mohd Azam s/o Ali Bahadur (a resident of Kotcharwal Teryath), and Mohd Mushtaq s/o Mohd Iqbal (a resident of Udhan in Rajouri), were arrested in connection with the terror module.
Security forces have been conducting regular search operations in Jammu & Kashmir to weed out terrorists in the area and ensure the safety and security of locals.
