KANPUR: Anger swept across Dannapurwa village in Kannauj after news of the killing of two of its natives in a grenade attack in Shopian of Kashmir Valley arrived on Tuesday. The villagers demanded that the terrorists responsible for the barbaric act should not be spared and terrorism should be wiped out at at any cost.
Kannauj MLA and social welfare minister Asim Arun condemned the killings. He said that he was in constant touch with Shopian district police chief Tanushree and the accused had been arrested. Arrangements were being made to bring the bodies of the two to Lucknow by flight.
