After Pahalgam attack, govt told Oppn that local operators opened route to tourists 'without informing administration', due to which there was no deployment of security in the area.
Concern about security was raised on multiple occasions with govt for shutting these sites, ThePrint has learnt. All these spots have seasonal security deployment.
Just when tourism season was picking up, the terror strike left hundreds of families in uncertainty. Many locals concede that recovery is unlikely this year.
Several local residents & trader-transporters held protests, condemning the terror attack in Baisaran Valley, amid a shutdown in the Kashmir valley Wednesday.
Trump, Putin, Starmer, Meloni, Netanyahu are among the key voices from across the globe to extend support to India. China & Ukraine have also extended condolences.
Indians see West Asia as one uninterrupted wash of Islam, but the reality is more complex. For the Druze, support from Israel—where they are a recognised minority—is now critical.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
I can believe that the government didn’t know, or rather that one part knew and another didn’t. Information loss is an obvious phenomenon in organizations of that size. Remove all the unnecessary activities e.g. the continuing license raj and the government will become much better at core functions like security.
If the government really didn’t know it reeks of ignorance. And if it really knew, which is more probable, the government is dangerous. Either way not good. No sensible citizen should ever believe government when it claims J&K is normal. The government hasn’t been able to even sort out Pakland for good.
