Tourists Pay Tribute to Pahalgam Attack Victims 'First Anniversary'

Tourists visiting Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday paid heartfelt tributes to the victims of last year’s Pahalgam terror attack at Razdan Pass in the Gurez area, marking the first anniversary of the incident that claimed 26 lives. 

Visitors, along with tour operators and drivers, gathered at the high-altitude pass to offer prayers and observe a moment of silence in memory of those killed in one of the deadliest attacks targeting tourists in Kashmir.

On April 22, 2025, terrorists struck Pahalgam, entering a village and killing 26



civilians. The scenic tourist destination was left shaken after Pakistan-backed terrorists carried out the attack. 

Speaking to reporters, a tourist from Mumbai said the tragedy had left deep emotional scars but could not weaken unity. 

“No power can divide Kashmir and India. The brotherhood of Kashmir is the strongest example of its integral bond. We are deeply saddened, but such incidents cannot break our resolve. 

We feel safe here and the love shown by locals is overwhelming,” she said.
