ACP Govind Nagar Vikas Pandey said that the tanker of Hindustan Petroleum was going to Fatehpur while passing through the Gujaini area with about 20,000 liters of diesel on Monday evening.

Tanker driver Udaybhan Singh said a car moving ahead of the truck suddenly applied brakes. Following this, he had to apply the power brake to avoid the accident but the trailer coming from behind collided with the truck. The sheet of the tank was torn from the side and a stream of diesel started flowing from it, he added.

Seeing the diesel falling, people also parked their vehicles and ran towards the tanker with whatever object they could find to fill the diesel. People fled when police arrived at the spot. But by that time around 500 litres of petrol got looted and wasted.

ACP Pandey further said that after talking to the people of the company, it has come to know that about 500 liters of diesel have been wasted. The vehicle that hit the truck has been confiscated.

The police said further action will be taken after registering the complaint.

Amid heightened security concerns following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives, the Ministry of Home Affairs convened a high-level meeting in New Delhi on Tuesday.

Key officials attending the meeting include Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Director Generals of the Border Security Force (BSF), Assam Rifles, and the National Security Guard (NSG), along with senior representatives from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).

Meanwhile, extensive counter-terrorism operations are ongoing at multiple locations across Jammu and Kashmir. Sources familiar with the matter noted that, due to the sensitive nature of these operations, no specific updates are currently being disclosed.

In a related development on Monday, the Jammu and Kashmir Police conducted raids at 13 locations in the Doda district, targeting terrorist hideouts and individuals suspected of links to terrorist activities.

Additionally, Srinagar Police carried out a series of extensive searches across the city. These operations focused on the residences of Over Ground Workers (OGWs) and associates linked to banned terrorist outfits, as part of ongoing investigations under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

According to a police statement, searches were conducted at the homes of 63 individuals. These operations were executed in accordance with legal procedures, under the supervision of Executive Magistrates and independent witnesses, aiming to collect evidence such as weapons, documents, and digital devices to thwart any potential conspiracies threatening national security.

PM Modi

In the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a series of crucial meetings tomorrow to review India’s security preparedness.

The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the nation’s apex body for national security decisions, is scheduled to convene around 11 am. This will be the second high-level review since the tragic incident in Jammu and Kashmir.

Following the CCS meeting, the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA), chaired by the Prime Minister, will also gather to discuss political and strategic issues. Senior leaders, including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Health Minister JP Nadda, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, will participate in the deliberations.

Later, the Cabinet’s Economic Affairs Committee will meet, culminating in a full cabinet session.

During the previous CCS meeting, held two days after the attack, the government placed security forces across the country on heightened alert and vowed strict action against those responsible. Measures taken included suspending the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, halting SAARC visas, closing the Wagah-Attari border, and downgrading diplomatic ties with Islamabad.

Additionally, Pakistani nationals residing in India were asked to return to their country, with a slight extension given to those holding medical visas until Tuesday. In retaliation, Pakistan announced the suspension of all bilateral agreements with India, including the historic Simla Agreement.

As tensions between the two countries escalate, tomorrow’s meetings are expected to chart the next course of action amid rising security concerns.

Security personnel in Pahalgam after terrorist attack

In the aftermath of the recent terror attack in Pahalgam that left 26 civilians dead, the Jammu and Kashmir administration has taken a significant step by shutting down 48 resorts and several popular tourist destinations across the Union territory.

The decision comes amid heightened security concerns and public unrest following the attack, which targeted a bustling tourist area in the Pahalgam valley. Locations such as Doodhpatri in Budgam and Verinag in Anantnag have been closed to visitors as part of the sweeping restrictions aimed at preventing further violence.

More than half of the region’s tourist hotspots have now been rendered inaccessible, severely impacting travel plans and leaving the local tourism sector in distress. What was once a thriving scene of hospitality has now turned grim, as panicked tourists flee the valley and upcoming bookings are cancelled en masse.

Locals fear economic impact

The closures have sparked concern among locals who rely heavily on tourism for their livelihood. Just a week ago, the markets of Pahalgam were buzzing with visitors; now, the footfall has dwindled dramatically. Protests have erupted across the valley, with residents expressing their grief and outrage over the brutal killings.

Holding placards and chanting slogans, citizens across towns and villages have declared their rejection of terrorism with the message “Not in my name.” These spontaneous demonstrations, from Kathua to Kupwara, mark a rare and unified public response to terror in the valley.

Political reactions and appeals for unity

Addressing a special session of the assembly, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah delivered a strong statement condemning the attack and lauding the people’s stance. “This is the first time in over twenty years that people have taken to the streets across the region in such numbers against terror,” he said. Abdullah called for unity and sensitivity, stressing that no actions should be taken that may further alienate the people of Kashmir.

In a notable moment, he also declined to use the tragedy for political gains, reiterating that his leadership is rooted in responsibility, not opportunism.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reacting to the developments, has assured the nation that those responsible for the Pahalgam attack will be brought to justice. Reaffirming the government’s resolve, he stated that Indian forces would pursue the perpetrators and their supporters relentlessly.
