Terrorists shot sarpanch Manzoor Ahmad Bangroo dead in an orchard at Goush-bugh village of Pattan in Kashmir’s Baramulla district Friday evening.The attack on Bangroo, who won the panchayat elections as an independent, adds to a long list of 21 panchayat members killed before him since rural polls were held in J&K for the first time in decades in 2011. His death underscored the continuing threat to elected village representatives after a spate of killings last month.
