Glad to see the government taking swift action to bring our people home safely. Tourism is the backbone of Kashmir's economy and these attacks are unacceptable. 🙏

While I appreciate the evacuation efforts, I wish the article focused more on the victims' experiences rather than political rallies. The human angle seems missing here.

As someone from Kashmir, I'm heartbroken by these incidents. Tourists bring life to our valley. The protesters are right - we need permanent solutions to end this violence.
