"It's a matter of serious concern that people who have gone for work are being deliberately targeted in J&K. Authorities concerned must remain alert to check such incidents there," he told reporters after winding up his public interaction programme ''Janata Ke Durbar Mein Mukhyamantri'' (Chief Minister in the Court of People).
