Two Kashmir-Bound Buses Attacked in Haryana and Punjab, Investigations Underway
Two Kashmir-bound buses operated by the same company were attacked with stones in Haryana's Karnal district and Punjab's Ludhiana district within two days, causing injuries in the first incident and panic in the second. Haryana Police attribute the initial attack to a parking dispute, while bus staff allege anti-Kashmiri slurs and targeted hostility. Authorities in both states have arrested suspects and are investigating possible links between the attacks. The incidents have raised safety concerns among Kashmiri travelers and prompted calls for strict action.
