The way the government is handling the situation is commendable - from arranging flights to controlling airfares. At least the victims' families won't have to deal with additional stress during this tragedy.

NIA involvement is crucial. Hope they catch these cowards soon. Attacks on unarmed tourists is the lowest form of terrorism. Stay strong Kashmir, the nation stands with you!

The aerial survey is important but I hope the Home Minister also focuses on long-term solutions. Tourism is Kashmir's lifeline and such incidents destroy livelihoods along with lives. 💔
