Former J&K chief minister Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday said that security situation in J&K has deteriorated following the fresh killings in Srinagar in the last two days.
On Monday evening, militants had gunned down a Kashmiri salesman in the old city area of Srinagar, the second targeted killing in Jammu and Kashmir.
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said, “Security situation in J&K has deteriorated to an extent where not a week goes by when an innocent doesn’t lose his life.Unfortunate that despite repressive measures taken in name of security, people are being killed & have no sense of dignity or normalcy. Condolences to his family,” Mehbooba Mufti said in a tweet.

Khan, a resident of Bandipore, worked in the dry fruit shop of Roshan Lal Mawa, a Kashmiri Pandit businessman who returned to the Valley in 2018 and set up his business.
On Sunday night, militants had killed a 29-year-old police constable, Tawseef Ahmad Wani, in the Batamaloo area .
