What Made Them Take This Decision
The decision was made amid ongoing cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan following a terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, where 26 people were killed. The attack occurred in the Baisaran area of Anantnag district, as terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists in broad daylight on April 22.
Simran Chandani, a tourist from Nagpur, Maharashtra, expressed uncertainty about surviving the attack.
“We were preparing to leave after having tea and Maggi [a popular prepackaged, ready-to-eat noodle snack]” when the attack started, she said, describing Pahalgam as “mini-Switzerland”.
Then it all changed. “I saw a rush of people coming down, we thought the balloon had burst, people were pushing each other, who told us an attack had happened,” she recalled, adding that mostly men were fired upon.
