J&K: Two migrants from Uttar Pradesh shot in Budgam
Two migrants from Uttar Pradesh were shot at by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam on Friday. Their condition is said to be stable. They were working on Jal Jeewan Project in Budgam.
Sufiyan and Usman were injured after being shot at in the Mazhama area of Magam in the central Kashmir district, officials said.
They were taken to a hospital and were stated to be in stable condition, the officials added.
The incident is the latest in a series of terror attacks in the Union territory in recent months. Earlier this week, terrorists belonging to Pakistan-sponsored Jaish-e-Mohammed had attacked an ambulance in an Indian Army convoy in J&K's Akhnoor sector.

‘Terrorism will not be tolerated’: PM Modi
Addressing the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas celebrations in Gujarat's Kevadiya on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that terrorism will not be tolerated and urged the nation to strengthen its unity in the face of ongoing challenges.
"Terrorists' 'masters' now know that harming India won't yield results, as India won't spare them!" ANI quoted the prime minister.
“The people of Jammu and Kashmir have rejected the age-old agenda of separatism and terrorism. They have made the Constitution of India and the democracy of India victorious. They have put an end to the propaganda going on for 70 years with their votes. Today, on National Unity Day, I salute the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” PM Modi said.
