Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot on Friday condemned the killings of two people by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian.
Pilot claimed that one of the deceased was a truck driver from Alwar district who was carrying milk for the Army in Shopian.
"It is sad to see that the truck driver of Rajasthan's Alwar district who was carrying milk for the Army in Shopian, Jammu and Kashmir, died in the terrorist attack. I strongly condemn it. My deepest condolences to the family of the deceased. The central government should ensure the safety of the people in Kashmir," he tweeted.
On Thursday, two people died while one was left injured when terrorists fired at two trucks near Chitragam of Shopian.
Meanwhile, truck drivers have also expressed their concern over the terrorist attacks and demanded the government to ensure their safety.
Mohan Ram, a truck driver who hails from Rajasthan's Jodhpur said that he comes to Jammu and Kashmir to earn money.
"Drivers are being killed. We are poor people why we are being targeted. We come here to earn money. Trucks are also being set ablaze," he told ANI.
Another driver said that the government should ensure safety as it has become a big problem for them.
Earlier, a truck driver from Rajasthan was also killed by terrorists in Shopian on October 14. A worker from Chhattisgarh was killed in Pulwama on October 16.
