He tweeted that he survived an attack on his motorcade and felt sad for the lives lost. Our deepest sympathies with the families of Tral terror attack victims. Dr Gobinder Singh, block medical officer, Tral, said most of the injured had splinter wounds caused from the grenade, and not pellets injuries. Pulwama district in south Kashmir is one of the epicentres of Kashmir’s new age militancy and Tral is the hometown of slain Hizbul Mujahedeen commanders Burhan Wani and Sabzar Bhat. South Kashmir was also the region where last year’s summer unrest in the Valley witnessed its peak.
