A truck driver was shot dead by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K)'s Anantnag on Monday (28 October) night, ahead of a visit by a delegation of the European parliamentarians to the Kashmir Valley.
The driver, identified as Narayan Dutt, lived in Reasi. This is the fourth such attack on truck drivers in a week in the Kashmir Valley. Earlier, two truck drivers were killed by terrorists in Shopian.
Prior to those attacks, two terrorists, including a suspected Pakistani national, shot dead a truck driver from Rajasthan, and assaulted an orchard owner, also in Shopian.
The attacks are part of Pakistan-backed terrorists' gameplan to terrorise traders, including apple traders, from going about business, which the government has been boosting and facilitating.
A 28-member European parliamentary delegation is visiting Kashmir Valley on Tuesday (29 October), in the first visit by an international delegation to the state. It comes two days ahead of the state's formal bifurcation into two Union Territories.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
