Srinagar/IBNS: In an attempt to curb terrorism and dismantle its infrastructure, security forces have bombed the house of another suspected terrorist in Jammu and Kashmir, continuing the massive crackdown in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, mostly Hindu tourists.

Pakistan Occupied Kashmir's Farooq Ahmad Tadwa's home in Kalaroos area of Kupwara district in north Kashmir was bombed by authorities, which is the latest one to be demolished, media reports said.

Houses of six terrorists or their associates have been demolished in the past 48 hours, with officials saying similar action will be taken against others involved in terror activities.

Security forces seized weapons, documents, and digital devices during these raids.

"This decisive action of J&K Police aims to dismantle the terrorist ecosystem in Jammu and Kashmir by identifying and taking legal action against individuals engaged in such anti-national and criminal activities," NDTV reported, quoting a police spokesperson.

He said the police remain committed to maintaining peace and security in the city.

"Any individual found furthering the agenda of violence, disruption, or unlawful activities will face strict legal consequences under the law," the official warned.

The security forces are hunting down terrorist associates and their sympathisers across the Valley to create deterrence against any Pahalgam-like attacks, said an official.

Baisaran massacre

On the afternoon of April 22, around 1:50 PM, attackers led by Thoker emerged from Baisaran's pine forests and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the gunmen asked some victims about their religion and demanded they recite Islamic verses. Those who failed or hesitated were shot in the head.

Security officials said at least five terrorists split into smaller groups and attacked three zones in the meadow.

Lasting under ten minutes, the assault left 26 dead, including 25 tourists and a local pony operator.

Two security personnel — from the Navy and the Intelligence Bureau — were also killed.

Modi vows to hunt and punish terrorists

Thundering from the land of Bihar, on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi warned the terrorists responsible for the attack on innocent tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir, and their supporters, with "unimaginable consequences".

Speaking at a rally in Madhubani, Modi declared, "From the soil of Bihar, I want to tell the entire world — India will hunt down every terrorist and their backers. We will pursue them to the ends of the earth and ensure they are punished. No act of terror can shake India's spirit. Terrorism will not go unpunished." He also assured that "every effort will be made to deliver justice," noting that the entire nation is mourning the brutal killings.

Pakistan slapped with sweeping countermeasures

Following the attack, PM Modi cut short his visit to Saudi Arabia and held a
Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) at his residence on April 23.

In a hard-hitting response to the ghastly terror attack backed by Pakistan, the Indian government announced a series of strong retaliatory measures: Suspension of the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, expulsion of Pakistani diplomats and defence personnel from its High Commission, and immediate shutdown of the Integrated Check Post at Attari.

The government revoked Pakistani nationals’ eligibility for travel under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES), declaring all existing visas issued under the scheme invalid.

Additionally, all Pakistani nationals were asked to leave India within 48 hours of the order.
