Srinagar: Union Home Minister Amit Shah Tuesday evening chaired a high-level security review meeting with all the security agencies in Srinagar, in the wake of the deadly terrorist attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam earlier today.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah briefed the Union Home Minister over the Pahalgam terrorist attack. LG Manoj Sinha and other high-level officials were also present in the meeting. The Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police have reportedly launched a joint search operation in Baisran, Pahalgam and Anantnag to nab the perpetrators of the attack.
Moments after terror struck Pahalgam of Jammu & Kashmir, Shah had chaired a high-level meeting at North Block in Delhi. Home secretary Govind Mohan, senior officials from the home ministry, CRPF DGP GP Singh, Intelligence Bureau (IB) Chief Tapan Deka and several others joined the meeting. Jammu and Kashmir’s Director General of Police and other officials joined virtually to assess the situation on the ground.
At least 26 tourists are feared dead while many others were injured in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir.
"Anguished by the terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. My thoughts are with the family members of the deceased. Those involved in this dastardly act of terror will not be spared, and we will come down heavily on the perpetrators with the harshest consequences. Briefed PM Narendra Modi Ji about the incident and held a meeting with the concerned officials via video conferencing. Will shortly leave for Srinagar to hold an urgent security review meeting with all the agencies," Shah said in a post on X.
