Residents of Dhangri in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district voiced alarm on Sunday over security authorities’ “failure” to track down the terrorists behind the twin attacks in the village and sought justice for the victims.
If the security forces are unable to eliminate the terrorists over the next 15 days, the locals have threatened to go on a hunger strike.
The terrorist attack killed seven people and injured 14 others on January 1.
According to report, while five people, including two brothers, were killed in the firing by terrorists, two children died when an improvised explosive device (IED) left behind by the attackers went off the next day.
Hundreds of residents of Dhangri held a meeting at the attack site and paid floral tributes to the victims on Sunday, a villager said.
They expressed concern over the “failure” of security agencies in finding clues about the terrorists involved in the twin attacks, he further said.
Victims’ family members demanded that efforts to identify the attackers be intensified.
The villagers threatened to launch a hunger strike if the security agencies are unable to neutralise the terrorists in the next 15 days.
