Jammu and Kashmir leadership, led by Lt. Governor Manoj Sinha and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, convene to address security concerns following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam. An all-party meeting is scheduled to condemn the attack and discuss peace strategies amidst escalating tensions in the valley.

In the wake of a devastating terror attack at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha gathered top security officials to fortify security across the region. The high-level meeting included the Chief Secretary and Director General of Police, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced defense measures.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has summoned an all-party meeting to address the tragedy that struck the Valley. Scheduled for April 24 at the Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Centre in Srinagar, the session aims to unify political fronts in a collective response to the increased threat level following the attack.

In an emotional call to action, CM Abdullah underscored the importance of solidarity beyond political lines.
