 Horror in Paradise: Pahalgam Attack Leaves 26 Dead

Pahalgam, April 22, 2025 - The peaceful valley of Pahalgam turned into a nightmare today when terrorists opened fire on tourists and locals, killing 26 people in cold blood. The attack happened around 4 PM at the busy market area near the famous Lidder River.

Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos as people ran for their lives. "We heard sudden gunshots and saw people falling," said a shopkeeper who wished to remain anonymous. "I pulled three injured tourists inside my shop and locked the door."

The victims include:

  • 15 Indian tourists from different states

  • 6 local Kashmiri vendors

  • 3 Nepali tourists

  • 2 foreign nationals

Who Did This?
A terrorist group called The Resistance Front (TRF) has claimed responsibility. Security experts say TRF is just another name for Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Pakistan-based terror outfit.

Government Response
Prime Minister Modi called it "a cowardly attack on innocent people" and promised strong action. Home Minister Amit Shah is flying to Kashmir tonight to review the situation.

Local Heroes Shine
Despite the terror, ordinary people became heroes:

  • Pony riders formed human chains to protect tourists

  • Taxi drivers rushed the injured to hospitals

  • Shopkeepers gave shelter to scared visitors

What Happens Now?
Security has been doubled at all tourist spots in Kashmir. The government has announced:

  • ₹10 lakh compensation for families of the dead

  • Free medical care for the injured

  • Special investigation team to catch the killers

As night falls over Pahalgam, the beautiful valley looks different - police checkpoints everywhere, empty streets, and a heavy silence. But the locals say this won't break their spirit. "We've seen worse," said an old guide. "Tomorrow, we'll wake up and show the world Kashmir still stands strong."

  Rural vs. Urban Lifestyle: A Tale of Two Worlds Introduction India is a land of contrasts, and one of the most striking differences can be seen in the lifestyles of people living in rural and urban areas. As a first-year BJMC student, I have always been fascinated by how these two worlds coexist, each with its own advantages and challenges. While rural life is known for its simplicity and close-knit communities, urban life offers modern facilities and a fast-paced environment. Let’s explore the key differences between these two lifestyles. 1. Environment and Surroundings Rural Life Villages are surrounded by nature, with fresh air, open fields, and a peaceful atmosphere. The environment is less polluted, and people live closer to nature, enjoying a slower and more relaxed pace of life. Urban Life Cities, on the other hand, are full of skyscrapers, traffic, and industries. The air is often polluted due to vehicles and factories. Though urban areas provide better infrastruct...

Medals, Marks, and Rejections: Bisma Fareed’s Story Proves That Skills Matter More Bisma  Bisma Fareed, a first-year BA English Honours student at Hansraj College, Delhi University, is living a story that many young students can relate to. With 10 medals in academics and extracurricular activities, and excellent grades, she is a perfect example of a hardworking and talented student. But despite all her achievements, Bisma is facing constant rejection when applying for internships. This situation has left her feeling frustrated and helpless. In her own words, she says: " Today, practical experience matters more than medals or marks. " And she is absolutely right.

They want people who can get the work done , not just those who have good marks. B...
