In the wake of the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam that resulted in casualties among tourists, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader N Ramchander Rao has pointed fingers at a “foreign hand” behind the incident, denouncing it as a heinous act. Rao called for a united front among all political parties to combat terrorism effectively. Security forces have initiated search operations in the area, while the Army has authorized restricted ALH Dhruv chopper activities in Srinagar. The attack has raised concerns about the safety of tourists visiting the region and has once again highlighted the persistent threat of terrorism in the region.
