On Tuesday afternoon, the beautiful hills of Pahalgam turned into a nightmare as gunmen opened fire on unsuspecting tourists gathered at Baisaran, a serene meadow known for its breathtaking views. Among the victims were an Indian naval officer who had just begun his honeymoon with his wife, and several local residents—including Syed Hussain Shah, a popular horse riding guide. Eyewitnesses described the confusion and terror as families ran for safety, with many separated or injured in the chaos.
One grieving wife recounted how her husband was shot after confirming he was not Muslim. Locals mourned the loss of family members, with many attending funerals that brimmed with sadness. Businesses and schools across Kashmir shut down in protest against the brutal act, as the community fears for its future tourism-dependent economy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi returned to Delhi amidst the backlash, pledging swift action against the attackers as a manhunt begins.
The world is watching as tensions rise in the region, with leaders expressing their condolences. As the families left grieving, the message was clear: the community stands united in mourning, but determined to seek justice for their loved ones lost in this devastating act of violence.
