CM Omar said that the meeting is an effort to rise above the political affiliations and unite in the service of the people during the difficult time.
Abdullah has also called for a special cabinet meeting on Wednesday evening to discuss the Pahalgam terror strike, reports news agency PTI quoting officials. The meeting will discuss the impact of the devastating strike on tourism in Jammu and Kashmir, which was gearing up for the peak summer season, they said. Tourism is the mainstay of the economy in Kashmir, the officials pointed out.
Terrorists opened fire in a meadow dubbed ‘mini Switzerland’ near the tourist hub of Pahalgam in south Kashmir on Tuesday afternoon, killing 26 people, mostly tourists. It is the worst attack in Kashmir since the Pulwama strike in 2019 when 40 CRPF personnel were killed.
