The terror attack occurred on April 22 in Baisaran Valley near Pahalgam, where militants ambushed tourists, killing 26 individuals, including 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen, and injuring over 20 others. The Resistance Front (TRF), believed to be a proxy of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba group, initially claimed responsibility but later withdrew their statement.

Diplomatic War Between Both Countries

The incident has had far-reaching implications beyond the immediate tragedy. The Indian government has accused Pakistan-based groups of orchestrating the attack, resulting in heightened diplomatic tensions between the two countries. In a strong response, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, expelled Pakistani diplomats and shut down major border crossings. Pakistan has denied any involvement and responded by closing its airspace to Indian flights.

Meanwhile, the government has announced financial assistance for the victims’ families. Each deceased victim’s family will receive Rs 10 lakh and those seriously injured will be granted Rs 2 lakh. Additionally, security measures in Jammu and Kashmir have been intensified, with plans underway to deploy permanent Army and paramilitary forces in sensitive areas to prevent further attacks.
