In Jammu and Kashmir, a former sarpanch was killed while a tourist couple from Jaipur was injured yesterday in two separate terror attacks in Shopian and Anantnag districts. In the first incident, terrorists opened fire at a former sarpanch Aijaz Sheikh, in Shopian’s Hirpora area who later succumbed to injuries at a hospital. In another incident, two people from Jaipur were injured after terrorists opened fire at a tourist camp in Anantnag district. The injured were rushed to a hospital in a critical condition.
 
The area has been cordoned off and search operations have been launched to nab the attackers, the officials said.
The back-to-back attacks come at a time when campaigning for the parliamentary polls in the Anantnag-Rajouri seat is going on. Polling in Baramulla will be held tomorrow in the fifth round of polls.
