On Wednesday evening, the Council of Ministers of Jammu and Kashmir made an urgent appeal to all communities, religious leaders, civil society groups, and political parties to remain calm and united against forces that aim to divide and destabilize the region.

In response to the heinous terror attack that took place in Baisaran, Pahalgam on Tuesday, the Council convened a vital meeting chaired by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

The Council expressed deep sorrow and outrage over the tragic loss of innocent lives and the injuries suffered by civilians in this barbaric and cowardly attack. They firmly condemned this senseless act of terror, which directly assaults the peace, unity, and democratic values that the people of Jammu and Kashmir hold dear.

The Government expressed unwavering support for the victims’ families and reiterated its commitment to ensuring justice, enhancing security, and preserving the spirit of brotherhood and resilience that characterizes Jammu and Kashmir, as stated in the meeting’s official release.

The Council emphasised its strong determination to bring the perpetrators of this horrific act to justice while taking all necessary measures to protect every citizen’s life and liberty.

Furthermore, while recognizing that security is not solely the responsibility of the elected Government, the Council pledged to closely coordinate with the Lieutenant Governor’s administration to ensure the safety of all citizens, particularly tourists and residents in vulnerable areas.

It was resolved to promptly distribute ex-gratia relief to the next of kin of the deceased and those injured, as announced. Arrangements will also be made to provide the best possible medical treatment for the injured and to ensure the respectful return of tourists and the dignified transportation of mortal remains.

The Council of Ministers reiterated that the resolve of both the Government and the people of Jammu and Kashmir will remain unshaken by such cowardly acts of violence. They urged every resident to stay united, vigilant, and resilient.

“Let us reject fear and division, and reaffirm our commitment to peace, unity, and the enduring spirit of harmony and shared resilience that defines our land,” the Council resolved.
