A complete shutdown is being observed in both #Kashmir and #Jammu regions in protest against a brutal militant attack on tourists in the Baisaran area of #Pahalgam in J&K’s #Anantnag district. The attack resulted in the death of 28 people, mostly tourists and left several others injured.

This is the first such protest in the Kashmir Valley against a terror attack in 35 years.

The bandh has been jointly called by KCCI, KTMF, MMU and J&K's Grand Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam. In a statement, the Grand Mufti condemned the attack, saying, “Such acts of terror and violence are unacceptable and have no place in our society. I urge everyone to stand united against terrorism and work towards creating a peaceful and harmonious community.”
