GCC condemns Ganderbal killings

Srinagar, Oct 21: The Group of Concerned Citizens (GCC) J&K , a non-political civil society collective, has expressed shock at the brutal killing of seven innocent civilians in an attack on a camp housing workers of an infrastructure company “at Gagangeer in Ganderbal yesterday.

In a statement released here today the GCC “condemned the brutal attack “ and called for an expeditious inquiry to bring the perpetrators to book.
