Terrorist attack on tourists, brutal murder of 26
On Tuesday April 22 , 2025 , terrorists brutally killed 26 people by firing indiscriminately at tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The terrorists who came in army uniform first asked the tourists about their religion in Pahalgam’s Baisaran Valley, checked their identity cards and then shot them saying they were Hindus. Most of the 26 dead are tourists, while two are foreigners and two are local citizens.
The lush green fields of Baisaran Valley, famous for its greenery till Monday April 21 , 2025 , turned red with blood on Tuesday April 22 afternoon. Bodies of innocent people were lying everywhere and there were weeping family members. This horrific scene refreshed the wounds of the Pulwama attack on 14 April 2019, where terrorists had carried out a suicide attack. The terrorists did something similar in Pahalgam, where they first asked people about their religion and then after being assured, they fired bullets indiscriminately, killing 26 people.
This cowardly and inhuman act of the terrorists has left only signs of terror in the Baisaran valley, which is always crowded with tourists. Till now, such a big attack on tourists had not happened in Kashmir. Last year, on the night of May 18 , 2024 terrorists attacked at two places. One of these was near Pahalgam and the other was in an open tourist camp.
Jammu and Kashmir government will give Rs 10 lakh to the family of each deceased
The Jammu and Kashmir government announced to give an ex-gratia of Rs 10 lakh to the family of each person killed in the Pahalgam terror attack. Along with this, the state government will give an ex-gratia amount of Rs 2 lakh to the seriously injured and Rs 1 lakh to the minor injured.
