🚨: Terrorist attack on Hindu pilgrims in Reasi district, Jammu and Kashmir, India.

In a tragic event, a group of pilgrims met with a devastating accident when their bus careened off the road and plunged into a gorge near Teryath village in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir. Reports indicate that at least ten individuals lost their lives, while over 30 sustained injuries in the incident, which occurred on Sunday. The bus, returning from the Shiv Khori cave shrine to Katra, a town renowned for the Vaishno Devi temple, was traveling along a link road of NH144A, navigating through dense forests and hilly terrain. Prompt response from locals and authorities led to rescue efforts, while security forces, comprising personnel from the police, Army, and CRPF, initiated a search operation to apprehend the assailants. The area, located 100 kilometers northwest of Jammu, has been cordoned off in response to the premeditated attack. Reasi SSP Mohita Sharma disclosed that the terrorists had orchestrated the assault, targeting the bus as it passed through the area. The driver was struck by gunfire, causing the vehicle to veer off course. Evidence, including bullet casings, was recovered from the scene, indicating the involvement of two masked assailants. Although the identities of the deceased and injured have yet to be officially confirmed, it is suspected that the pilgrims hailed from Uttar Pradesh. This incident underscores the potential spread of terrorist activities into previously unaffected regions, as Reasi district had hitherto remained insulated from the surge in attacks witnessed in neighboring districts such as Rajouri and Poonch. The Pir Panjal route, notorious for its rugged terrain, serves as a favored infiltration route for terrorists moving from the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch and Rajouri towards Kashmir. Intelligence sources suspect the participation of Illiyas Fauji, a former Pakistani army SSG commando turned LeT operative, along with two other militants from Pakistan who have evaded capture since the deadly assault on an IAF convoy in Poonch on May 4. This recent attack in Reasi follows a similar incident on May 13, 2022, when terrorists targeted a bus transporting pilgrims from Katra to Jammu using "sticky bombs," resulting in four fatalities and 13 injuries. The assault evokes memories of the July 10, 2017, attack on a bus ferrying Amarnath pilgrims, which claimed seven lives and left 19 others wounded. Despite facing heavy gunfire, the driver in that instance managed to safeguard 52 passengers. According to data from the Union home ministry, eight civilians have been killed in Jammu and Kashmir in the first five months of the current year up to May 31. Concerns regarding security have been heightened in anticipation of the upcoming Amarnath Yatra, prompting Jammu ADGP Anand Jain to oversee security arrangements on Friday night. The review encompassed preparations not only for the annual Amarnath Yatra but also for the Mata Kheerbhawani mela, Budha Amarnath Yatra, and Shri Machail Yatra, emphasizing the establishment of joint control rooms to enhance coordination among all concerned agencies. The Amarnath cave shrine, nestled at an altitude of 3,880 meters in the South Kashmir Himalayas, is slated to host its annual pilgrimage from June 29 to August 19.

How can you be so devoid of empathy? How can your heart be so numb to the suffering around you? Look at those children. They deserve happiness, they deserve security. They deserve to be nurtured and loved. Those innocent eyes have committed no crime, so why subject them to such anguish and pain? How can you turn a blind eye to their cries, their pleading gazes? How can you sleep at night knowing their innocence is shattered by the horrors of war? They should be playing, laughing, dreaming of a future full of hope, not fearing for their next meal or their next breath. How can you justify this? How can you justify robbing them of their childhood, their chance at a better tomorrow?

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine has plunged the region into a humanitarian crisis of unimaginable proportions. As the violence escalates, it is the innocent civilians, particularly the children of Palestine, who bear the brunt of this senseless bloodshed. Families are being torn apart, homes reduced to rubble, and basic necessities such as food, water, and medical supplies are scarce. The world watches in horror as the fundamental rights and dignity of the Palestinian people are trampled upon, with no end in sight to their suffering.

The relentless bombardment of Palestinian territories, including the targeting of civilian infrastructure and safe zones, is a grave violation of human rights and international law. It is imperative that the international community takes immediate and decisive action to put an end to the violence and hold those responsible for atrocities to account. Calls for a ceasefire must be accompanied by concrete steps towards addressing the root causes of the conflict and achieving a just and lasting peace for all parties involved.

As we witness the harrowing images of devastation and despair coming out of Palestine, we cannot afford to remain silent. We must stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, amplify their voices, and demand justice, equality, and the right to self-determination. It is time for the world to heed the cries of the oppressed and work towards a future where peace, dignity, and human rights prevail for all.

Humanity must take precedence over religion in times of conflict and crisis. Regardless of religious or political beliefs, the suffering and loss of innocent lives demand our collective empathy and action. It is imperative to recognize the inherent dignity and worth of every individual, irrespective of their background or identity.

Religion should never be used as a justification for violence or oppression. Instead, it should serve as a guiding principle for compassion, tolerance, and mutual respect. In the face of such grave humanitarian atrocities, it is incumbent upon all people of conscience, regardless of faith, to come together in solidarity and support of the basic human rights and dignity of the Palestinian people.

"may i?" was what you asked and for the first time my bold self wanted to hold someone's heart. our heart desires and we long, finally being loved the way, we wanted to be all along.

i hope death is like stepping into a familiar room filled with the comforting scent of home, where you're greeted by loved ones with open arms and twinkling eyes, ready to share in the joy of your reunion for eternity. i hope you feel the warmth of familiarity and love as you're gently ushered into whatever comes next. and maybe, just maybe, you'll drift off into eternal slumber with a smile, surrounded by sounds of joy.

i wish i could hold you once more,

the last time i saw you, i wish a little longer i did adore,

there's still a missing piece- your touch,

and despite hearing about your covert actions, a sense of hatred i still cannot develop.

i don't mind being the bad one once again,

just tell me i'll get to hold you in the end.

i was born in spring, yet somehow everything i touch rots,

blossoms everywhere, while my heart feels the frost,

i knew it was absurd enough of me to assume we won't be caught in these knots.

foolish enough to believe,

i never thought you'd play me like a sleeve.

but how was i supposed to know it was the end?

and how long did you pretend?

i wonder if it was something i deserved,

or what you did was fate that i had to observe.

i should've known long before,

that your love wasn't for me anymore.

but who do i even blame,

maybe i myself am the cause of the pain.

who's the culprit? who's the rue?

maybe i'll think about it when my heart doesn't feel so blue.
