We should remember the man and his 14-year-old son, along with all those who were barbarically killed in Pahalgam. Their tragic deaths underscore the brutality faced by innocent civilians at the hands of terror networks. In this context, Pakistani Lieutenant Ahmed Sharif admitted during a press conference that India conducted targeted cross-border strikes. While he alleged that civilians were harmed, credible intelligence and satellite imagery confirm that only militant camps and hideouts were struck with precision. These operations specifically targeted and destroyed locations known to harbor militants and serve as training camps. Claims of civilian casualties appear to be part of a broader narrative aimed at garnering international sympathy. India, however, remains steadfast in its counter-terrorism objectives, acting only against elements that pose a threat to regional stability and peace.

We are witnessing how the people of Kashmir are courageously raising their voices against Pakistan and militant forces. It is imperative that we do not allow Pakistan’s malicious agendas to succeed. The resilience and unity of the local population stand as a strong testament to their desire for peace and justice.

Baramulla, April 23, 2025 – A peaceful protest was held today in Baramulla to condemn the tragic killing in Pahalgam yesterday, which has shocked the entire region. Citizens from diverse communities gathered in solidarity, demanding a thorough investigation and justice for the victims. The protestors called for an end to violence and appealed to the authorities to ensure the safety and security of all civilians in the Kashmir Valley.

On April 22, 2025, a devastating terrorist attack unfolded in the Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam, a renowned tourist destination in Jammu and Kashmir, India. This brutal assault resulted in the deaths of at least 28 individuals and left over 20 others injured, marking one of the deadliest civilian attacks in the region in recent years.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸

Around 2:50 PM IST, four to six militants, reportedly affiliated with The Resistance Front (TRF)—an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba—emerged from nearby forests and opened fire on a group of tourists. Eyewitnesses recounted that the assailants, dressed in military-style uniforms, initially posed as security personnel, asking for names and demanding that victims recite the kalma. Those who failed were reportedly shot, suggesting a deliberate targeting based on religious identity.

𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀

The attack claimed the lives of 28 individuals, including 24 Indian tourists from various states, two local residents from Jammu and Kashmir, and two foreign nationals from Nepal and the United Arab Emirates. Among the deceased were a 26-year-old Indian Navy officer and an Intelligence Bureau official. At least 20 others sustained injuries, some critically, with airlifting required due to the terrain.

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲

The Resistance Front claimed responsibility for the attack, citing opposition to the settlement of over 85,000 outsiders in the region, which they argue is altering its demographic makeup. This incident underscores the ongoing tensions in Kashmir, long disputed by India and Pakistan, and highlights the continuing threat of insurgency despite a decline in violence after the 2019 revocation of the region's special status.

𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲

Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemned the attack and cut short his visit to Saudi Arabia to return and address the crisis. Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited Srinagar to oversee the situation. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also curtailed her international engagements in response.

International reactions were swift. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the United States "stands strong with India" against terrorism. Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the incident as a "brutal crime with no justification." Leaders from Italy, Israel, and the UAE also expressed solidarity and offered condolences.

Security forces launched a manhunt to apprehend the attackers. A helpline was established to assist affected tourists and their families. The incident sparked widespread panic among visitors in the Valley, leading to a rush in outbound travel from Srinagar. Local organizations called for a shutdown in protest of the killings.

This horrific event has deeply shaken the region and the nation. Authorities have heightened security measures, and the investigation continues.

Jammu, 14th April 2025 — In yet another disturbing incident reflecting the growing law and order concerns in Jammu, a bicycle was stolen in broad daylight from Deshmesh Nagar, Digiana. The victim, a healthcare worker who had come to collect a blood sample from a patient, had parked his cycle outside when the theft occurred.

CCTV footage from the locality clearly captures the accused calmly approaching and stealing the cycle, without any fear or hesitation. The brazenness of the act in a residential area during the day is alarming and has sparked outrage among local residents.

This incident is not isolated. Jammu has witnessed a surge in crimes over the past few months — from chain snatching and theft to physical assaults and even murders. The public is growing increasingly concerned about their safety, and many are questioning the effectiveness of local law enforcement and patrolling measures.

The stolen cycle was the primary means of transport for the medical worker who serves the community by providing vital doorstep health services. This incident not only caused personal loss to the victim but has also sent a chilling message to others who step out daily for their duties.

Residents are now demanding swift action, increased police presence, and proactive steps to curb the rising tide of crime in the city.

Anyone with information related to the incident is urged to contact the local police station at the earliest.

Rural Kashmir is grappling with a concerning rise in road accidents, many of which are linked to teenagers driving two-wheelers and four-wheelers in a reckless and uncontrolled manner. SSP Traffic Rural Kashmir, Ravinder Singh, has issued a strong statement, emphasizing that parents must take responsibility for their children’s actions and prioritize road safety.

“Teenagers driving without proper training or licenses, often at high speeds or performing stunts, is becoming a major issue. These reckless behaviors are not only endangering their lives but also the lives of others. Parents are the first line of accountability. They must ensure their children are not allowed to drive until they are fully capable and compliant with traffic laws,” SSP Ravinder Singh stated during an awareness event.

The SSP also highlighted that road accidents are one of the leading problems in the region today, causing loss of life and property. To address this growing concern, the Traffic Police Department has launched a comprehensive campaign, including the release of an educational video that vividly depicts the dangers of reckless and underage driving.

Traffic police have also intensified road checks, penalizing violators, and are organizing awareness drives in schools and communities to promote safe driving practices.

“Accidents don’t just happen; they are caused by negligence, lack of discipline, and poor awareness. We must all work together—parents, schools, and law enforcement—to tackle this issue. A single moment of carelessness can lead to lifelong regret,” added SSP Singh.

The campaign is a call to action for parents to be more vigilant and responsible, ensuring their children follow traffic regulations. The initiative is expected to bring positive changes, fostering safer roads and a more disciplined driving culture in Kashmir.

In a concerning trend, cybercriminals in Himachal Pradesh have begun exploiting WhatsApp to execute fraud under the guise of wedding invitation cards. This new method involves sending malware-laden links disguised as digital wedding invitations, which compromise the security of unsuspecting users.

𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝘀 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶

Fraudsters send personalized messages to random WhatsApp users, presenting a clickable link to a "wedding invitation." These links often lead to malicious websites or initiate downloads of harmful software. Once clicked, the malware can:

Steal personal information like banking credentials, passwords, or contact lists.

Gain unauthorized access to financial apps or digital wallets.

Use the compromised device to carry out further scams.

Authorities in Himachal Pradesh have received multiple complaints about individuals losing money or sensitive data after interacting with these fraudulent links. In some cases, victims found their bank accounts emptied or their social media accounts hacked.

𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆

The Himachal Pradesh Police Cyber Crime Cell has issued the following guidelines to safeguard the public:

1. Avoid Clicking on Unknown Links: Treat all unsolicited links, even from known contacts, with suspicion.

2. Verify Authenticity: Cross-check with the sender if you receive such invitations.

3. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Protect your online accounts with additional security measures.

Following the complaint, Senior Staff Nurse Pinky Parihar in Ward 10 promptly took action, initiating a thorough cleaning of the neglected areas. Hats off to her for her swift response. She assured us that she will personally inspect the cleanliness daily and take action whenever necessary, just as she did this time.

We request the Principal of Medical College to ensure similar action is taken in other wards. Ward in-charges across the hospital should follow Nurse Pinky Parihar's example by maintaining cleanliness in their respective areas, ensuring a safe, infection-free environment for all patients in the future.

Concerns over inadequate cleanliness at Jammu Medical College Hospital have come to light as patients and their families report unclean wards and an apparent lack of attention to basic housekeeping. Complaints from visitors highlight the presence of spider webs, dust, and neglected areas, suggesting that routine cleaning has not been carried out for days. Don’t patients in ophthalmology wards, especially after eye operations, require cleanliness.

Visitors and patients alike are alarmed, pointing out that the lack of cleanliness not only compromises patient safety but also increases the risk of infection. "The staff responsible for keeping the hospital clean seem to overlook these areas, putting patients' health at risk," stated a family member of a patient.

This situation has led to calls for accountability. The community is urging the Principal of Government Medical College to take strict action and address the issues urgently, ensuring that staff carry out routine cleaning to maintain a safe and healthy environment for all patients.

In a significant move, the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly recently passed a resolution advocating for the restoration of Article 370, a provision that granted special autonomy to the region before its abrogation in August 2019. This development has sparked considerable debate, with Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary affirming the resolution, emphasizing, "Bhagwan Ram mere bhi hain, Bhagwan Ram aap sab ke hain," in a call for unity and shared cultural values across the community.

The BJP has openly opposed this resolution, reflecting its long-standing stance on maintaining the revocation of Article 370, which it views as essential for integrating Jammu and Kashmir fully into the Indian Union. However, the recent resolution indicates a push from certain regional political forces to restore autonomy, rekindling the discussion around Kashmir’s constitutional status and self-governance.

This statement and the passage of the resolution could potentially reshape political alliances and stir public opinion, as parties such as the JKNC and other local stakeholders advocate for the rights and historical identity of Jammu & Kashmir.
