The victims have been identified as Shamshad and Faizan and their condition is stated to be stable, the police said.
The Union Territory has been rattled by attacks on migrant workers in recent months.
Last month a migrant labourer from Bihar was shot dead in Kashmir’s Bandipore, he was shifted to a hospital for treatment but he later died during treatment.
In June, terrorists fired on two migrant workers in Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam, killing one. The attack came hours after a bank manager at Elaquai Dehati Bank was shot dead inside the bank’s premises in the Kulgam district of Kashmir.
The bank manager was a native of Rajasthan and it was the eighth targeted killing in the valley in a month.
Since October 2019, non-local workers have often been targeted by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir.
