The attack on Pahalgam was carried out by a group of militants. The militants opened fire at a group of tourists in baisaran valley on Tuesday, killing at least 26 people, including two foreigners from Nepal and the UAE.
In view of the attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi cut his visit to Saudi Arabia short and arrived in New Delhi early Wednesday morning. Following his return, the PM headed a brief cabinet meeting at the airport to review the security arrangements.
