Shopian, Nov 2: A non-local labourer has reportedly died of ‘asphyxiation’ in south Kashmir’s Shopian district while two others are undergoing treatment at District Hospital Anantnag.
According to reports, three persons including two non-locals from Uttar Pradesh were brought to Zainapora Shopian health facility in unconscious state.
Sources identified the trio as 20-year-old Ansar Ahmed and 22-year old Azim Jan from UP and Ubaid Bashir Parra from Homehana village of Nagbal Shopian.
They said among the trio, Ansar died while two others were shifted to district hospital Anantnag. The cause of death and unconscious state of two labourers is being ascertained.
