Pahalgam is one of the must to visit places in Jammu & Kashmir. It is surrounded by dense pine forest, jaw dropping grass lands. Three main sites in Pahalgam are: Chandan Wari, Betaab valley and Aru Valley. . Pony ride through scenic meadows to Baisaran or "Mini Switzerland" from city center was always an indelible experience one should experience. It is one of the finest honeymoon places for newly wed couples.
I was deeply shocked hearing a deadliest attack on 22/Apr at the same Baisaran valley, 5 armed terrorists killed 26 mostly terrorists . The armed terrorists targeted only Men belong to Hindu region though there was one a christian tourist and local muslim were also killed in the attack. The attackers entered Baisaran Valley with M4 carbines and AK47 around 10AM on 22/Apr, singled our the men and asked for their religion, the attackers asked some tourists recite muslim declaration of faith to confirm their religion. The tourists included several newly wed couples, and the men were shot point-blank in front of their wives including one Ltnd. Naval officer. Pahalgam attack was a deadliest attack similar to 2008 - Mumbai terrorist attacks that killed more than 100 civilians. One of the terrorist told "go and tell Modi" before killing one of the men.
The attack further increased tensions between India and Pakistan. It was clearly evident that Pakistan supporting cross border terrorism. India government took immediate tough stand by suspending Indus water treaty to Pakistan, imposed all Pakistani citizens to leave India country by closing the boarders, cross trading with an immediate affect. All these decisions had a direct impact Pakistan financials that would deteriorate their high debt situation.
India government led by Mr. Narendra Modi - the prime minister of India took tough decisions to retaliate with strong response to Pakistan. On 7/May - at 1PM, Indian armed force destroyed 9 terrorist locations across POK and Pakistan. India claimed more than 100+ terrorists & their immediately family were killed in the incident. This further escalated situation between two countries resulted war like situations.
As an Indian, really proud of India armed forces, my heartfelt gratitude to the sacrifices they and their families have made. We are forever indebted to our heroes. Very hopeful that this will result in peaceful situation in both the countries very soon without tolerating on terrorism.
Jai Hind.
