Anantnag: Terrorists spread panic by firing on tourists in Bai Saran area near Pahalgam, a major tourist destination in the Kashmir Valley. Many people have been injured in the incident, who have been immediately admitted to the local hospital in Pahalgam.

Security forces have cordoned off the entire area and launched an operation to search for the terrorists.

Priority: Rescue the injured

The first priority of the Jammu and Kashmir Police and security forces is to evacuate the injured safely. A large number of ambulances have reached the spot and are providing medical assistance to the tourists. A senior Anantnag police official said that no injured has been sent to the main hospital in Anantnag so far, which indicates that the injuries are not serious.

Presence of terrorists, operation intensified

According to Dynamite News correspondent, the attackers may still be present in the area. Quick Action Team (QAT) and army personnel have surrounded the spot from all sides. Search operation is going on in the 10 km radius around Pahalgam. Security forces are also investigating the entry and exit routes of terrorists.

Attack on tourists: A big concern

This attack is also worrying because there have been no incidents of targeting tourists in the Kashmir Valley for some time. This is the first major attack in which tourists have been targeted after the kidnapping and murder of tourists in the Al-Farhan case in 1995.

Administration action

The IGP of Jammu and Kashmir Police and DIG of Southern Range are reaching the spot. The CRPF and local police deployed in Pahalgam have banned movement in the area. Security agencies believe that this attack could be a conspiracy to spoil the peaceful atmosphere.

Waiting for the next update

So far no concrete information has been received about the number of terrorists and their identity. Sources in the security forces say that the operation will continue and efforts are being made to find the attackers.
