 Two more killings of small-time street vendors mark a step-up of attacks against non-locals in Kashmir. The first attack took place in Srinagar's Eidga locality, where a street vendor from Bihar, identified as Arbind Kumar's son, was shot dead. This place of shooting is not far from the government-run school where two teachers from the minority community, including the school's female principals, were killed earlier this month. After the spate of these killings, there is a fear-psychosis amongst the non-locals who are working in Jammu and Kashmir. The fear of getting killed and getting targeted is quite high among the non-locals here, and many of them have started fleeing Srinagar. In light of these new developments, there is an increased Jammu and Kashmir police presence across board, and a lot of tension has come up in the valley.
