Since the protestors have also joined sectarian groups, a sectarian rift is feared in the highly sensitive city. The aforementioned incident had taken place in the upper reaches of Naltar valley after a group of picnickers from Lower Naltar were attacked. The attackers were, allegedly, led by Kareem Gujar, a resident of Upper Naltar village. According to the locals, those who have been killed and injured in the attack on Thursday were from Upper Naltar village. Naltar valley is also famous for the three lakes i.e., are Strangi lake, Blue lake and Bodlok lake.
