In the aftermath of the militant attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Home Minister Amit Shah has called for an emergency high-level meeting to assess the security situation and coordinate a comprehensive response.
Sources confirm that Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a telephonic conversation with the Home Minister, expressing serious concern over the incident. The Prime Minister has directed the Home Minister to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of civilians and restore order in the affected region.
According to official reports, at least 12 tourists were injured in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, officials said.
The attack took place at Baisaran, a meadow accessible only by foot or ponies, where a group of tourists had gone visiting this morning, they said.
It is pertained to mention that the 38-day Amarnath pilgrimage is scheduled to begin on July 3. Lakhs of pilgrims from across the country travel to the cave shrine from the twin routes — the traditional 48-km Pahalgam route in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district and the 14-km shorter but steep Baltal route in Ganderbal district.
