Horrifying Ordeal for Hindu Pilgrims Attacked by Militants in Jammu and Kashmir
Survivors of the recent attack on a bus carrying Hindu pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir shared their harrowing experience. Gunmen attacked the bus carrying pilgrims heading to the Vaishno Devi shrine, causing the driver to lose control and the bus to fall into a gorge, resulting in casualties and injuries. Some passengers played dead to escape the gunmen, who continued shooting even after the bus fell.
The gunmen, suspected to be associated with the Lashkar-e-Taiba militant organization, quickly claimed responsibility for the attack but later retracted. Authorities have launched a manhunt for the perpetrators to ensure justice. Political figures have condemned the attack, emphasizing the need to maintain security in the region.
Recent years have seen a resurgence in militant activity in Jammu and Kashmir, with multiple militant groups operating in the area. The incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing security challenges in the region and the importance of maintaining vigilance against such attacks.
