Mehbooba Mufti appealed to GOC Awantipora, Balbir Singh, to thoroughly investigate these concerning accusations and, if substantiated, to ensure that those implicated face appropriate consequences. This statement was made by Mehbooba Mufti.
Nevertheless, Lt Col Manoj Sahu, the Defence PRO based in Srinagar, contradicted these allegations, asserting that they were unfounded. He stated, "This is untrue. It has been verified with the local military unit. The casual laborers engaged by the army receive timely compensation, and no such incidents have occurred," as confirmed by the Defence PRO.
