The police and army have cordoned off the area to track the attackers.

A doctor and six construction workers were killed when terrorists opened fire at a construction site at Gagangir in Jammu and Kashmir's Ganderbal district, official sources said Sunday. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah called the attack on non-local labourers "dastardly and cowardly".

"Praying that the injured make a full recovery as the more seriously injured are being referred to SKIMS, Srinagar," Mr Abdullah posted on X.

The terrorists had opened fire on a camp housing workers of a private company, who were working on an under-construction tunnel in Gund area. The police and army have cordoned off the area to track the attackers.
