The sketches of the terrorists who are suspected to have carried out the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam have been released by the security agencies. The names of three terrorists suspected to be involved are Asif Fauji, Suleman Shah and Abu Talha.
Terrorists attacked a prime tourist location in Pahalgam in south Kashmir on Tuesday, killing at least 26 people. The deceased, mostly tourists, included two foreigners and two locals.
The bodies of the 26 victims were brought to the Government Medical College (GMC) in Srinagar early Wednesday and then taken to the Police Control Room where Home Minister Amit Shah laid wreaths on them.
Shah, along with J&K LG Manoj Sinha, met the families of the victims of the Pahalgam terrorist attack in Srinagar.
He also visited Baisaran meadow, the site of the Pahalgam terror attack.
Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir Government has announced an ex-gratia of ₹10 lakh for the families of those killed in the Pahalgam terror attack and ₹2 lakh for the injured victims.
An NIA team headed by an inspector general is on way to Pahalgam to provide assistance to the local police probing Tuesday’s dastardly terrorist attack. In the wake of the attack, Civil aviation ministry has asked airlines to ensure there is no surge in airfares on the Srinagar route. The airlines will also be operating additional flights to the city.
The terror attack has sparked widespread condemnation by leaders and locals alike in Jammu and Kashmir regions with shutdown observed in many places.
