**SRINAGAR, INDIA** – India is reeling from a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, where 26 civilians were killed at the Baisaran meadow. Protests and candlelight vigils are underway across the nation following the incident. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed swift and decisive action, promising to pursue the perpetrators “to the ends of the Earth.” The government has announced strong counter-measures against Pakistan, including a potential suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty.
Following reports of firing from Pakistani posts across the Line of Control, tensions have escalated sharply. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif convened an emergency meeting of the National Security Committee, warning that any attempt by India to disrupt the flow of water from the Indus River would be considered an act of war. Indian Army Chief Upendra Dwivedi is expected to arrive in Srinagar today to assess the situation. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and heightened concerns about regional stability.
