All About ‘The Resistance Front’ (TRF) Terror Group Behind Pahalgam Terror Attack

By

-

In one of the deadliest civilian attacks in recent years in Jammu & Kashmir following the 2019 Pulwama attack. At least 28 tourists were killed and several others injured in a terrorist strike in Pahalgam.

One of the worst attacks on civilians in Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370. The incident took place at the Pahalgam’s Baisaran meadows in Anantnag district on Tuesday. An Indian Navy officer and an Intelligence Bureau personnel were also killed in the attack.

The Resistance Front’s statement

According to reports, The Resistance Front (TRF), a terror outfit, has claimed responsibility for the massacre in Pahalgam. The organisation is backed by Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI. The Resistance Front is allegedly linked to the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The outfit is considered a proxy of LeT founder and 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed.

“More than 85,000 domiciles have been issued to non-locals, creating a pathway for demographic change in Indian-occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK). These non-locals arrive posing as tourists, obtain domiciles, and then begin to act as if they own the land. Consequently, violence will be directed toward those attempting to settle illegally,” TRF said.

What Is The Resistance Front (TRF)?

The Resistance Front (TRF) was allegedly formed in October 2019. The formation of TRF came shortly after the Indian government’s abrogation of Article 370 and the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status in August 2019.

The organisation is widely regarded as a proxy or rebranded offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Lashkar-e-Taiba is the Pakistan-based jihadist group responsible for the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. The Indian security agencies and intelligence sources confirm TRF was created to give Kashmir militancy a more “indigenous” and “secular” face. The organisation deliberately distanced itself from the overtly Islamist branding of groups like LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammad.

Leadership and Key Figures

Individuals with known associations with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) lead the TRF. This includes Sajjad Gul, Salim Rehmani, and Sajid Jatt. Sheikh Sajjad Gul, a key commander, has been designated a terrorist under India’s Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) list. Not just that he is also on the National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) most-wanted list, with a bounty on his head.

TRF’s Tactics and Activities

Terrorism, Infiltration & Narcotics Smuggling

TRF has been actively involved in a range of terrorist activities, including:

  • Targeted killings of civilians, including religious groups like Kashmiri Pandits and Sikhs.

  • Attacks on Indian security forces and local police.

  • Recruiting youth through online radicalization.

  • Smuggling of narcotics and weapons from across the Pakistan border.

  • Coordinating logistics and transportation for other banned terror outfits.

According to the Indian security agencies, the group uses guerilla warfare strategies. The organisation has been tied to deadly ambushes like the one in Kupwara’s Keran Sector in April 2020. In this incident over five Indian soldiers and five TRF terrorists were killed in a prolonged gun battle.

Why TRF Was Created: A Strategic Rebranding

According to counter-terrorism experts, the creation of TRF served multiple strategic purposes:

  • By distancing itself from religious nomenclature, TRF helps Pakistan avoid censure from international watchdogs like the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

  • The term, “Resistance” is a globally resonant term. It is often associated with indigenous freedom struggles, which Pakistan uses to project the Kashmir insurgency as a local movement, even though its support is largely foreign-backed.

  • TRF uses secular symbols and language; its activities and affiliations make it clear that it is an Islamist militant organization. It targets not only state institutions but also religious and ethnic minority groups.

  • An official, as per an Indian Express report said, “Lashkar and Jaish-e-Mohammad had religious connotations and Pakistan did not want that. They wanted to make Kashmir militancy appear indigenous. Hence, they opted for ‘Resistance’ – that has some currency in global politics – in its name”

Designation and Crackdown

According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, TRF “has been involved in the planning of killings of security force personnel and innocent civilians of Jammu and Kashmir, co-ordinating and transporting weapons to support proscribed terrorist organisations, recruitment of terrorists, infiltration of terrorists and smuggling of weapons and narcotics from across the border.”

The Government of India formally designated TRF as a terrorist organization under the UAPA in the year 2023. This move allowed for stronger surveillance and crackdowns on its operations and associates. Furthermore the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and other central agencies have intensified their efforts to dismantle the group’s operational infrastructure.

Pahalgam terror attack: Two terrorists gunned down by Indian Army

Hours after the devastating terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 innocent lives, the Indian Army thwarted a major infiltration attempt in the Uri sector of North Kashmir. In a fierce gunfight, two heavily armed terrorists were neutralised by security forces. Officers from Indian Navy and the Intelligence Bureau were also among the victims.

The two terrorists were killed on Wednesday in a heavy exchange of fire with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla by the Indian Army in an operation that comes just a day after the deadly Pahalgam terrorist attack. Indian Army has informed that the encounter broke out on Wednesday when around two-three terrorists tried to infiltrate through general area of Sarjeevan at Baramulla’s Uri Nala.

The encounter comes just a day after the deadly attack at the picturesque Baisaran meadow, which is a popular tourist spot in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that left 26 people dead and several others injured. Baisaran meadow is also popularly called ‘mini Switzerland’.

Weapons recovered, search operation underway

The operation, launched by Indian Army’s Chinar Corps, also led to the recovery of a large cache of weapons, ammunition, and other war-like stores. The area is being combed for more infiltrators, and operations remain underway.

Chinar Corps of the Indian Army said in a post on X, “OP TIKKA, Baramulla On 23 Apr 2025, approximately 2-3 UI terrorists tried to infiltrate through general area Sarjeevan at Uri Nala, Baramulla, the alert tps on LC challenged and intercepted them resulting in a firefight. Operation is in progress.”

“A large quantity of weapons, ammunition and other war-like stores have been recovered from the terrorists,” the Chinar Corps said.

“They will not be spared”: PM Modi vows justice will be served

“I strongly condemn the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. I pray that the injured recover at the earliest. All possible assistance is being provided to those affected,” PM Modi stated in an X post condemning the heinous attack.

“Those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice…they will not be spared! Their evil agenda will never succeed. Our resolve to fight terrorism is unshakable and it will get even stronger,” the prime minister further said.

PM Modi held a meeting with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval as soon as he landed in Delhi on Wednesday. PM Modi skipped the official dinner hosted by Saudi Arabia and decided to cut short his visit. He was originally scheduled to return on Wednesday night.

We will come down heavily on the perpetrators: Home Minister Amit Shah

Home Minister Amit Shah, who reached Pahalgam on Wednesday following the deadly terror attack, announced retaliation in an X post. “Anguished by the terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. My thoughts are with the family members of the deceased. Those involved in this dastardly act of terror will not be spared, and we will come down heavily on the perpetrators with the harshest consequences,” Shah posted on X.

During the visit Shah met families of the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack at the police control room in Srinagar. Grieving relatives of the deceased broke down in front of the Home Minister. The families pleaded for justice and demanded that the loss of their loved ones not go in vain.

Tragedy in Pahalgam: Three Tourists from Bengal, Including IB Officer, Killed in Terror Attack

By
Ujjal Roy
-

In a horrifying terror attack that shook Kashmir’s picturesque Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, Pakistan-based terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists on Tuesday, killing 26 people and injuring several others. Among the deceased were three individuals from West Bengal, including an Intelligence Bureau (IB) officer posted in Hyderabad.

Victims Identified: Bengal Mourns Its Lost Sons

The three victims from West Bengal have been identified as Samir Guha, Bitan Adhikari, and Manish Ranjan. Guha and Adhikari hailed from Kolkata, while Ranjan, originally from Jhalda in Purulia district, was serving with the IB in Hyderabad.

Adhikari, a 40-year-old tech professional based in Florida, was in Kolkata on vacation and had embarked on a family trip to Kashmir on April 16 with his wife Sohini and three-year-old son. They were scheduled to return home on April 24.

Ranjan, the IB officer, had also gone to Kashmir with his family. His sudden death has cast a shadow of mourning over his hometown, Jhalda, where his elderly parents were informed of the tragedy by local authorities.

Devastated Families Recall Their Last Conversations

Dipak Adhikari, Bitan’s brother, shared the pain of hearing the news shortly after speaking to Bitan on Tuesday morning. “He had invited me to join them on the trip. I declined and even advised them against pony rides in the hills,” he recalled with a heavy heart. “What will I tell Bitan’s son now? He’s just a child. We are all shattered.”

Samir Guha, a central government employee, had also travelled to Kashmir on April 16 with his wife and daughter. The family was to return on April 23. Guha’s brother-in-law, Subrata, said the two survivors are in shock. “My sister and niece were unharmed, but they are traumatised. I just want them back home safe,” he said.

According to Subrata, their driver Md Iqbal took the family to his home after the attack, offering them shelter and support before help arrived.

State Government Steps In: Mamata Banerjee Assures All Assistance

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed deep sorrow over the incident and assured full support to the bereaved families. She personally spoke to Sohini Adhikari and later posted on X:

“One of the victims, Sri Bitan Adhikari, is from West Bengal. I had spoken to his wife over the phone. Though no words are enough to console her in this hour of grief, I have assured her that my government is taking all steps to bring back his mortal remains to his house at Kolkata.”

State Minister Arup Biswas also visited Adhikari’s residence in Baishnabghata to offer condolences and oversee arrangements being made for the family’s return.

A Nation in Mourning, a Homeland Under Threat

The attack, which has left the nation in shock, raises fresh concerns about the safety of tourists and the continuing threat of cross-border terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. Security has been heightened in the region, and investigations are underway to identify and neutralise those behind the attack.

As Kashmir reels from yet another episode of senseless violence, the grief of the families in Kolkata and Purulia underscores the far-reaching pain inflicted by terrorism,a pain that transcends geography and speaks to the human cost of conflict.

Kashmir and Jammu Observe Shutdown After Deadly Pahalgam Terror Attack

In an unprecedented show of unity and grief, Jammu and Kashmir observed a complete shutdown on Wednesday in response to the brutal terrorist attack that claimed the lives of at least 26 people mostly tourists in the Baisaran area of Pahalgam, Anantnag district. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, has triggered widespread outrage and led to the first valley-wide shutdown against terrorism in 35 years.

For the first time in 35 years, the Kashmir Valley observed a complete shutdown against a terror strike. Streets across Srinagar and other major towns were eerily quiet, with marketplaces, petrol pumps, and commercial establishments shuttered. Only essential services were available, and public transportation was largely absent. However, private vehicles continued to ply in limited numbers.

The call for the bandh came from a wide range of voices including trade associations, religious leaders, civil society, and mainstream political parties demonstrating a rare, unified rejection of violence. The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), Kashmir Traders and Manufacturers Federation (KTMF), and Jammu’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry were among the key business bodies leading the call. The Jammu Bar Association also backed the shutdown, along with student organisations like the Jammu-Kashmir Students Association (JKSA).

Religious Groups Condemn the Attack

Religious organisations strongly condemned the killings. Mutahida Majlis Ulema (MMU), a coalition of various Islamic bodies led by Hurriyat’s Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, appealed for a peaceful strike, urging residents to express solidarity with the bereaved families. “The people of Jammu and Kashmir must peacefully stand against this atrocity,” said Mirwaiz.

Heightened security measures were immediately implemented across the region. Additional security forces were deployed at all major checkpoints, tourist hubs, and district headquarters. Officials confirmed that checkposts had been established and extensive frisking operations were being carried out. A sweeping search operation was also launched in the Baisaran region, with joint forces from the Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police looking to trace those responsible for the attack.

In Jammu, the impact of the bandh was equally visible. The shutdown was widely supported across the city and nearby towns, with major markets and public spaces remaining deserted. Arun Gupta, president of the Jammu Chamber of Commerce, stressed that the strike was a “clear message that terrorism has no place in our society.”

Many Schools, Colleges were Shut Down

The education sector also responded in solidarity. All private schools remained closed throughout the Valley, while government schools functioned with reduced attendance. Kashmir University announced the postponement of examinations scheduled for the day, aligning with the broader observance of the bandh.

Political leaders from across the spectrum voiced their condemnation of the attack and lent support to the shutdown. Former Chief Minister and PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti called the incident “an assault on the collective conscience of the people,” stating that the victims could have been “any of us.” She urged Kashmiris to unite in grief and protest peacefully. The National Conference, through its official social media channels, also appealed to people to make the bandh a “complete success.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who cut short an official visit to Saudi Arabia in response to the tragedy, denounced the attack and assured the nation that the perpetrators would be brought to justice. Union Home Minister Amit Shah chaired a high-level security meeting and traveled to Kashmir the same day to assess the situation firsthand.

The united response from both regions across political lines, communities, and institutions underscored a powerful and emotional message: the people of Jammu and Kashmir are fed up with violence and are now speaking in one voice against terrorism. The bandh served not just as a protest, but as a collective act of mourning, resilience, and defiance against forces that seek to destabilise peace.

The families of the victims and the survivors brokedown in front of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. This comes during Shah’s visit in Pahalgam on Wednesday following the deadly terror attack. During the visit Shah met with the families of the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack at the police control room in Srinagar.


The grieving relatives broke down in front of the Home Minister. The families pleaded for justice and demanded that the loss of their loved ones not go in vain. Shah, who arrived in Srinagar within hours of the attack to pay tribute to the deceased. Shah claimed at least 28 lives, laid wreaths on the coffins of the slain victims in a sombre ceremony.

PM Modi asks Amit Shah to visit site

He also met with survivors of the attack and expressed deep sorrow over their pain. In a post on X earlier he said, “Those involved in this dastardly act of terror will not be spared, and we will come down heavily on the perpetrators with the harshest consequences”.

Earlier, PM Modi spoke to Home Minister Amit Shah over the phone about the Pahalgam terror attack and asked him to take all suitable measures. He also asked him to visit the site of the attack.

Pahalgam Terror attack: At Least 28 dead

The Phalgan Terror attack is the most devastating incident in Jammu and Kashmir since the 2019 Pulwama attack. One of the worst attacks on civilians in Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370. The incident took place at the Pahalgam’s Baisaran meadows in Anantnag district on Tuesday.

The attackers reportedly emerged from nearby forests and opened fire on a group of tourists. Heavily armed terrorists opened fire on a group of mostly non-local tourists. Initial reports indicate that the victims were selectively targeted based on their religion. The men were separated from their families before being gunned down. Some were shot in front of the family members. The trekking in the scenic meadow is accessible only by foot or pony.

Amit Shah Meets Survivors, Vows Maximum Support

Amit Shah visited the injured victims of the Pahalgam attack at the Srinagar Medical College Hospital on Wednesday. Shah met with families of the deceased and assured them of full government support, including medical assistance, compensation, and long-term rehabilitation.

Shah while speaking to the media said, “The pain of the victims and their families is beyond words. The government stands firmly with them. The perpetrators of this cowardly act will be hunted down and punished with the severest action.”

According to reports, The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy group of the banned Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has claimed responsibility for the attack. However, an official confirmation from the government is still awaited.

PM Modi Cuts Short Saudi Visit, Chairs Emergency Meeting

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was on an official trip to Saudi Arabia, canceled his trip and returned to India early Wednesday. The Pm called for an emergency meeting at the Delhi airport with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. He was briefed on the ground situation and security response in Jammu and Kashmir.

In a post on X he wrote, “I strongly condemn the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. I pray that the injured recover at the earliest. All possible assistance is being provided to those affected. Those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice…they will not be spared! Their evil agenda will never succeed. Our resolve to fight terrorism is unshakable and it will get even stronger.”

Pahalgam Attack: कश्मीर में मिनी स्विटजरलैंड- बैसरन, जहां प्राकृतिक सौंदर्य और रोमांच का मिलन होता है, में मंगलवार को गोलियों की गूंज के साथ चारों तरफ बिखरा ख़ून सिर्फ इंसान का नहीं, बल्कि इंसानियत और कश्मीरियत का भी था! इस्लाम के नाम पर आतंकियों ने चुन-चुन कर गैर मुस्लिमों पर ऐसे गोलियां बरसाई, जैसे कोई बच्चा अपने आंगन में खेलता है। किसी से नाम पूछा, किसी से उसका पहचानपत्र मांगा। अगर किसी को जिंदा छोड़ा, तो सिर्फ अपनी आपबीती की कहानी सुनाने के लिए। पहलगाम से लगभग पांच किलोमीटर दूर बैसरन, जो ट्रैकरों को हमेशा अपनी तरफ खींचता है, जहां से तुलियां झील का रास्ता जाता है, अन्य दिनों की तरह आज भी पर्यटकों से गुलजार था। दोपहर ढाई बजे के करीब कथित तौर पर तीन से चार वर्दीधारी आतंकी निकटवर्ती जंगल से बाहर निकले। इससे पहले कोई कुछ समझ पाता उन्होंने अपना खेल शुरु कर दिया। उन्होंने वहां मौजूद पर्यटकों से उनका नाम पूछते हुए उन पर गोलियां बरसाना शुरु कर दिया। आतंकियों के जाने के बाद जब तक अन्य लोग मौके पर पहुंचे, बैसरन मरघट बन चुका था। आतंकियों ने किसी को भी नहीं छोड़ा और महिलाओं और बुजुर्गों समेत सैलानियों पर गोलीबारी की। चश्मदीदों ने सुरक्षाबलों को बताया है कि सेना की वर्दी में दो से तीन लोग आए थे और बैसरन में वादियों का मजा ले रहे सैलानियों पर गोलियां चलानी शुरू कर दी।

रावलकोट में रची गई हमले की साज़िश

Pahalgam Terror Attack सूत्रों के मुताबिक आतंकी कहां से दाखिल हुए, इसके रूट मैप की शुरुआती जानकारी सामने आई है। आतंकी पीर पंजाल की पहाड़ियों से होते हुए राजौरी से चत्रु और वधावन होते हुए पहलगाम तक पहुंचे। यह वह इलाका है, जहां पर बड़ी संख्या में गुज्जर बकरवाल की आबादी है। खुफिया जानकारी के मुताबिक लश्कर कमांडर सैफुल्लाह कसूरी उर्फ खालिद और रावलकोट स्थित लश्कर के दो कमांडर का नाम पहलगाम आतंकवादी हमले के मुख्य साजिशकर्ता के तौर पर सामने आ रहा है। स्थानीय स्लीपर सेल के सहयोग से कुल 6-8 आतंकवादी इस आतंकी हमले को अंजाम देने में शामिल थे। हमले से पहले सभी ने इलाके की रेकी की थी। पाकिस्तान के रावलकोट में बैठकर रची गई इस हमले की साजिश, और इसका मास्टरमाइंड है खतरनाक आतंकी सज्जाद गुल!

पहलगाम आतंकी हमले के मास्टरमाइंड की कहानी

Pahalgam Attack: TRF संगठन को लश्कर का ही प्रॉक्सी माना जाता है और खतरनाक आतंकी सज्जाद गुल इस समय TRF को चला रहा है। इस दहशतगर्द को हाफिज सईद का राइट हैंड भी कहा जा सकता है। भारत की सुरक्षा एजेंसियों ने सज्जाद के खिलाफ कई सालों से बड़ा इनाम घोषित कर रखा है, उसकी तलाश लगातार जारी है।
Pahalgam Attack: जम्मू कश्मीर के पहलगाम में बड़ा आतंकी हमला हुआ है, इस हमले में अब तक 28 लोगों की मौत की पुष्टि हो चुकी है। कई लोग क्योंकि गंभीर रूप से घायल हैं, ऐसे में मौत का आंकड़ा बढ़ने का डर भी है। इस कायराना हमले की जिम्मेदारी TRF नाम के आतंकी संगठन ने ली है, इसे दूसरे शब्दों में The Resistance Front के नाम से भी जाना जाता है। यह नाम से जरूर कोई अंग्रेजी संगठन दिखाई पड़ता है, लेकिन असल में इसकी जड़े पड़ोसी मुल्क पाकिस्तान से जुड़ी हुई है। The Resistance Front को लश्कर का मुखौटा माना जाता है, जब जम्मू-कश्मीर से अनुच्छेद 370 हटा था, इस संगठन ने अपने पैर पसारने शुरू किए। पहले तो ये एक ऑनलाइन संगठन की तरह काम करता था जो लश्कर को सिर्फ उसके हमलों में कवर देने का काम करता था। लेकिन धीरे-धीरे TRF ने खुद हमले करने शुरू किए, उसे पाकिस्तान की सेना और ISI से खूब फंडिंग मिलनी शुरू हो गई। अब इस संगठन को ऐसा अंग्रेजी नाम भी इसलिए दिया गया जिससे भारत कभी सीधे-सीधे पाकिस्तान के साथ उसे ना जोड़ सके। अब तक तो जितने भी आतंकी संगठन रहे, उनके नाम से ही उनका अस्तित्व पहचान में आ जाता था, लेकिन TRF को ऐसे बनाया गया कि इसे एक स्थानिक कश्मीर का ही संगठन माना जाए। अगर दोष भी आए तो आम कश्मीरियों पर आए।
औपचारिक तौर पर 2020 में जब कुलगाम में आतंकी हमला हुआ था, तब TRF का नाम सबसे पहले आया था। कुलगाम हमले में बीजेपी कार्यकर्ता फिदा हुसैन, राशिद बेग और उमर हाजम को मौत के घाट उतारा गया था। TRF की मॉडस ऑपरेंडी ही ऐसी रही है जहां पर वो सिर्फ Target Killing पर फोकस करती है। वो गैर कश्मीरियों को निशाना बनाती है, और उनका मकसद ही है कि 90 का दौर वापस लौट आए। अल्पसंख्यक कश्मीरी पंडितों पर भी TRF लगातार हमला कर रही है। इस बार भी जो पहलगाम में हुआ है, आतंकियों ने पहले धर्म पूछा फिर गोली चलाई है। TRF के सरगना सज्जाद गुल को लेकर कहा जाता है कि वो पाकिस्तान में बैठकर ही ऑपरेट करता है, वो अपने आतंकियों को निर्देश देता रहता है, लेकिन खुद कभी सामने नहीं आता।
Pahalgam Attack: कश्मीर घाटी फिर से लाल हो गई। आतंकवादियों द्वारा मंगलवार को किए कायराना हमले में 28 लोगों की मौत हो गई है। एक ओर जहां प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी सऊदी अरब की यात्रा को बीच में छोड़कर लौट आए हैं, वहीं केंद्रीय गृहमंत्री अमित शाह भी मंगलवार को ही घाटी पहुंच गए थे। आतंकियों ने यह हमला ‘मिनी स्विट्जरलैंड’ के नाम से मशहूर पर्यटन स्थल बैसरन में किया था। इधर, वित्त मंत्री निर्मला सीतारमण के भी पेरू यात्रा के बीच ही भारत लौटने की खबरें हैं।
आतंकियों ने किसी को भी नहीं छोड़ा और महिलाओं और बुजुर्गों समेत सैलानियों पर गोलीबारी की। मीडिया रिपोर्ट्स के अनुसार, चश्मदीदों ने सुरक्षाबलों को बताया है कि सेना की वर्दी में दो से तीन लोग आए थे और बैसरन में वादियों का मजा ले रहे सैलानियों पर गोलियां चलानी शुरू कर दी। संभावनाएं जताई जा रही हैं कि पीएम मोदी दिल्ली लौटकर कैबिनेट बैठक कर सकते हैं। अमित शाह, पर्यटकों पर हुए हमले के कुछ घंटे बाद श्रीनगर पहुंचे और हवाई अड्डे से सीधे राजभवन पहुंचे। जम्मू-कश्मीर पुलिस के महानिदेशक नलिन प्रभात ने गृह मंत्री के आगमन पर उन्हें जानकारी दी। इस समय उपराज्यपाल मनोज सिन्हा, मुख्यमंत्री उमर अब्दुल्ला, केंद्रीय गृह सचिव गोविंद मोहन और गुप्तचर ब्यूरो के निदेशक तपन डेका मौजूद थे। उसके बाद, शाह ने सेना, CRPF और पुलिस सहित सुरक्षा अधिकारियों की एक उच्च स्तरीय बैठक की अध्यक्षता की। Pahalgam Terror Attack: पहलगाम नरसंहार की जांच जल्द ही NIA यानी राष्ट्रीय जांच एजेंसी को सौंपी जा सकती है। खबर है कि IG के नेतृत्व में NIA की एक टीम पहलगाम पहुंच रही है। फिलहाल, इसे लेकर आधिकारिक तौर पर कुछ नहीं कहा गया है।

Pahalgam Terrorist Attack-पहलगाम हमले में मरने वालों की सूची

Pahalgam Terrorist Attack: पहलगाम आतंकी हमले में 28 लोगों की जान चली गई, जिनमें दो विदेशी और दो स्थानीय निवासी भी शामिल थे। आतंकी हमले में मारे गए सैलानियों की पूरी लिस्ट सामने आई है। इसमें महाराष्ट्र के 4, गुजरात के तीन और कर्नाटक के दो सैलानी शामिल हैं। जम्मू और कश्मीर के पहलगाम में हुए आतंकी हमले का असर राज्य की आजीविका पर भी पड़ता नजर आ रहा है। औसत कश्मीरी पर्यटन पर निर्भर है। पिछले कुछ वर्षों में कश्मीर के हालात सुधरने के बाद यहां पर्यटन का व्यवसाय तेज़ी से बढ़ रहा था। अब इस हमले के बाद सैलानियों के वापस लौटने और यात्रा रद्द करने का दौर शुरू हो गया है। मीडिया रिपोर्ट्स के अनुसार, टूर ऑपरेटर्स के पास लोग यात्रा रद्द करने के लिए कॉल कर रहे हैं। कश्मीर पहुंचे सैलानी एयरपोर्ट उर रेलवे स्टेशन पर भारी संख्या में पहुंचे हैं वापसी के लिए। एअर इंडिया बुधवार को श्रीनगर से दिल्ली और मुंबई के लिए दो अतिरिक्त उड़ानें संचालित करेगी। एअर इंडिया ने X पर एक पोस्ट किया, ‘‘मौजूदा स्थिति को देखते हुए, एअर इंडिया बुधवार 23 अप्रैल को श्रीनगर से दिल्ली और मुंबई के लिए दो अतिरिक्त उड़ानें संचालित करेगी।’’

Pahalgam Terror Attack: PM मोदी भारत पहुंचे, बड़ी बैठक के आसार

Pahalgam Terror Attack: प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी जम्मू और कश्मीर के पहलगाम में हुए हमले के बाद सऊदी अरब की यात्रा अधूरी छोड़कर भारत लौट आए हैं। प्रधानमंत्री का विमान रियाद से लौटते वक्त पाकिस्तान के हवाई क्षेत्र से परहेज करते हुए एक वैकल्पिक मार्ग से दिल्ली पहुंचा। एयरपोर्ट पर उन्हें रिसीव करने के लिए NSA यानी राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा सलाहकार अजित डोभाल पहुंचे। सऊदी अरब से भारत लौटते ही प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ऐक्शन में नजर आ रहे हैं। उन्होंने बुधवार को विदेश मंत्री डॉक्टर एस जयशंकर, राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा सलाहकार अजित डोभाल, विदेश सचिव विक्रम मिस्री और अन्य अधिकारियों के साथ बैठक की है। संभावनाएं हैं कि पीएम जल्द ही सुरक्षा समिति की उच्च स्तरीय बैठक में शामिल हो सकते हैं। उनके अलावा केंद्रीय वित्त मंत्री निर्मला सीतारमण भी भारत लौट रही हैं। वह पेरू और अमेरिका की यात्रा पर गईं थीं। वित्त मंत्रालय ने इसकी जानकारी दी है।

pahalgam terror attack

An Indian Navy Officer, Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, who was posted in Kochi, was killed in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The attack, which targeted a group of tourists, left at least 26 people dead, including two foreign nationals.

Lt Narwal had travelled to Kashmir following his marriage on April 16, with a reception held on April 19. He was on his honeymoon with his wife while on leave.

The couple had plans to visit Europe for their first trip together as a married couple. However, they had to change their plans because of visa issues. Following which they decided to go to Kashmir.

Dedicated and Promising Officer

Hailing from Karnal, Haryana, Lt Narwal had joined the Navy just two years ago and was known among peers and superiors as a dedicated and promising officer, defence officials confirmed to ANI.

“He was married 4 days ago. Everybody was happy,” the deceased’s neighbor Naresh Bansal told ANI. “We have received the information that he was killed by terrorists, and he died on the spot. He was an officer in the Navy.”

“We were just having bhelpuri… and then he shot my husband. The gunman said my husband was not a Muslim and then shot him,” the officer’s wife said in a trembling voice.

Background and Family

An engineering graduate, Vinay joined the Navy as a lieutenant three years ago, and he was posted in Kochi, Kerala. Vinay’s father, Rajesh Kumar, works as a superintendent in the Customs Department in Panipat. His grandfather, Hawa Singh, retired from the Haryana Police in 2004. His mother, Asha Devi, and grandmother, Biru Devi, are homemakers. Vinay’s younger sister, Srishti, is preparing for civil services in Delhi.

Vinay was engaged to Himanshi from Gurgaon two months ago after their family fixed the match. Himanshi is pursuing a PhD and takes online classes for children. Himanshi’s father, Sunil Kumar, is an Excise and Taxation Officer in Gurgaon.

According to family members, Vinay took leave for the wedding on March 28, married on April 16 in Mussoorie, and had a reception in Karnal on April 19. “They had planned a honeymoon in Europe, but it was canceled due to visa issues. Instead, they left for Jammu and Kashmir on April 21 and stayed in a hotel in Pahalgam on April 22. After dining, they went to the destination point where the terrorist attack occurred,” said a family member.

Vinay was supposed to celebrate his 27th birthday on May 1 on his return from J&K. “The family planned a big party upon his return from the honeymoon,” said Amit, a family member. Vinay and Himanshi were supposed to return to Kochi on May 3, where they had booked a rest house.

Neighbour Naresh Bansal said the house was filled with joy due to the recent wedding. “We got to know on Tuesday evening that terrorists shot Vinay after asking his name, while Himanshi narrowly escaped,” said Bansal.

Vinay’s grandfather, Hawa Singh, said Vinay attended Sant Kabir School in Karnal and later studied engineering in Delhi. “He prepared for the Combined Defence Services (CDS) exam since school but was unsuccessful. He then prepared for the SSB and was selected for the Navy three years ago,” said Singh.

Hawa Singh added that their family has a history of military service. His uncle and Vinay’s maternal grandfather’s brother were also in the army, with the latter having fought alongside the British. His nephew is also in the army. Hawa Singh himself was in the BSF before joining and retiring from the Haryana Police.

Lieutenant Narwal’s grandfather said, “We request the government that such people (attackers) be given strict punishment and terrorism be ended by any means necessary…”

PM Modi’s Statement

In a post on X, PM Modi stated that those responsible for this heinous act will be brought to justice.

“I strongly condemn the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. I pray that the injured person recovers as soon as possible. All possible assistance is being provided to those affected,” PM Modi said.

“Those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice…they will not be spared! Their evil agenda will never succeed. Our resolve to fight terrorism is unshakeable, and it will get even stronger,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Jammu and Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha arrived in Srinagar to hold a key security review meeting.

Delhi to Get its Third Skywalk at Madhuban Chowk

Skywalk

The Public Works department is planning to construct a skywalk at the famous Madhuban Chowk of Northwest Delhi. The place witnesses heavy traffic and is also one of the top 10 black spots that are accident-prone in the capital city. This walkway will ensure the safety of pedestrians and will also help to divert traffic around Rohini Court, Pritampura market and the mall.

The earlier plan of PWD was to construct an 800 m long foot overbridge that connects to the Metro corridors of Pritampura. However, the new plan now is to construct a skywalk at Madhuban Chowk, which connects the Rohini court directly with Pitampura Metro Station of the red line. The other side of the skywalk will connect to the newly constructed station between Janakpuri West and RK Ashram on the pink line.

“The estimated cost of the skywalk is ₹17.5 crore. A proposal stating that PWD will hand over the project to DMRC, as it is already working on phase 4 of the Metro line in the area, has been sent to the minister for approval. The PWD will give DMRC the budget for the construction,” said an official to the national media.

Accident-Prone Area

A significant number of accidents have occurred at Madhuban Chowk between 2020 to 2023, including ten fatalities on average per annum. If this project takes off, Delhi’s third skywalk will save pedestrians and vehicles from any further accidents around Madhuban Chowk. The first skywalk was constructed at ITO, which connects to Tilak Marg, Pragati Maidan and Supreme Court Metro Station. The second one is located on the South campus and connects the metro station with Satya Niketan and further.
