Pahalgam, April 23: In the wake of Tuesday’s horrific terror attack in Pahalgam, Union Home Minister Amit Shah reached the Baisaran meadow on Wednesday, the location where the terrorist attack took the lives of 26 people.
The attack, one of the deadliest in the region since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, claimed 26 innocent lives, most of them tourists, casting a dark shadow over the Anantnag district.
