The ruling party Jammu and Kashmir Nationa Conference (JKNC) posted a statement quoting party chief Farooq Abdullah and CM Omar Abdullah, “J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and JKNC President Dr Farooq Abdullah have condemned the gruesome killing of two village defence guards in Kishtwar namely Nazir Ahmad and Kuldeep Kumar, in a forest area. They have said that such acts of barbaric violence remain a significant impediment in achieving long-lasting peace in J&K. In this hour of grief, their thoughts and prayers are with the families of the deceased.”
According to the sources, the victims, who were shepherds by profession, had gone to Munzala Dhar (Adhwari) as usual to graze their cattle but today they did not return to their home.
