About the attack
At least 26 people lost their lives when terrorists descended from the hills in the picturesque valley area and opened fire at the tourists present there on Tuesday afternoon, in what turned out to be one of the deadliest terror attack in Kashmir. The incident happened on Tuesday at 3 pm when the terrorists opened fire on innocent civilians in Pahalgam’s Baisaran in Jammu and Kashmir.
Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday during his visit to the attack site at Baisaran near Pahalgam in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district, declared that the nation will never bow to terrorism and vowed that those behind the heinous act will be brought to justice. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also held a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) and took stock of the situation.
