The attack, which targeted tourists in the Baisaran meadow of Pahalgam, claimed the lives of 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen, leaving several others injured.

Scores of tourists returned safely to Mumbai on April 24 after a terror attack in Kashmir claimed over two dozen lives, most of them from Maharashtra. The returning tourists were greeted with white roses and chocolates by local politicians at the Mumbai international airport.

Days after the brutal killing of at least 26 people, including tourists, in Pahalgam in the Kashmir Valley, several parts of India witnessed candle marches and protests to mourn the deaths of those killed and to express anger at the terrorist attack.
