Terrorists attacked tourists at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam on Tuesday, killing 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen while leaving several others injured.

Nine-year-old Tanuj Kumar Satpathy tragically lit his father Prashant’s funeral pyre in Balasore, Odisha, after Prashant was killed in the Pahalgam terror attack. Grieving relatives struggled as Prashant’s wife, Priya Darshini, clung to his body. The funeral was attended by hundreds, including Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi.

Pakistan’s power minister responded strongly to India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, calling it an act of “water warfare.” This reaction follows India’s announcement of retaliatory measures against Pakistan for allegedly supporting cross-border terrorism, including holding the treaty in abeyance and imposing travel restrictions. Tensions escalate as both nations take firm stances.
