2 truck drivers killed, another Injured as militants set ablaze their vehicles 10/24/2019 9:40:21 PM Early Times Report Srinagar, Oct 24: Two truck drivers were killed and another injured after suspected terrorists set ablaze their trucks in Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian district on Thursday. Another truck driver is reportedly missing. Several incidents of violence have been reported against non-local truck drivers and businesspersons since the government on October 14 lifted the ban on post-paid cellular services in Kashmir after a 72-day communication clampdown following the abrogation of Article 370 provisions. The same day, two terrorists shot dead the driver of a Rajasthan truck and assaulted an orchard owner in Shopian. According to the police, the terrorists had carried out the attack in Shirmal village in desperation as fruit transportation was picking up in the Valley. Two days later, a Punjab-based apple trader was killed and another injured in a militant attack in the same district. This led to authorities setting up safe zones for fruit dealers in Shopian to procure and send the produce outside the state. Officials in the district administration said eight to nine "safe zones" have been earmarked in Shopian along the main roads in south Kashmir, to facilitate the fruit dealers to procure the fruits from the farmers.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
