Raipur, Oct 16 (SocialNews.XYZ) Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel announced Rs 4 lakh financial assistance to the family of a worker from the state who was shot dead by militants on Wednesday in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district.
Sethi Kumar Sagar, who worked as a labourer at brick kiln, was walking along a railway track in the Kakapora area when he was shot dead by militants.
Kashmir police said that the "area has been cordoned and searches are going on to track down the killers".
