Meanwhile, in the wake of the attack, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has convened an all-party meeting on April 24 to discuss the security situation and chart a united response. The meeting is scheduled to take place at 3 pm at the Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC) in Srinagar.
The Pahalgam tragedy has drawn strong condemnation from across the political spectrum, with calls for enhanced security measures to ensure the safety of civilians and tourists in the region. The attack, which targeted innocent visitors in a popular tourist destination, has renewed concerns about the fragile security environment in the valley.
