Pahalgam Terror Attack Live Updates: The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday reviewed the overall security situation in Jammu & Kashmir in the wake of the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, in which 26 tourists – 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen – were killed.
The CCS met at PM Modi’s residence a day after he held a meeting with the top defence brass on the attack. The CCS meeting was followed by a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA) to discuss the Opposition’s request for a special session of Parliament.
The developments came as Pakistan resorted to firing along the International Border in Pargawal sector late on Tuesday. Earlier, Islamabad had tried to provoke New Delhi by violating the ceasefire along the Line of Control. India responded effectively, sources said.
The Resistance Front, a shadow group of the banned Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror group, claimed responsibility for the terror strike. Following the attack, India downgraded diplomatic ties and announced a raft of measures against Pakistan, which adopted a similar move in retaliation..
