On Tuesday, terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists in Baisaran, a picturesque meadow just five kilometres from the popular hill station of Pahalgam. The attack has left the nation shaken and led to heightened security in the region, with local streets now deserted and search operations underway to apprehend the perpetrators. In response, the Jammu and Kashmir Government announced an ex-gratia compensation of Rs 10 lakh to the families of the deceased and Rs 2 lakh for those seriously injured.
