''VERY SADDENED, MY HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES''

The entire nation was taken by shock last night (10th July) when the terrorists attacked the Amarnath Yatra pilgrims, near Anantnag, in Kashmir. The terrorists apparently fired on the bus, in which the pilgrims were traveling. It was reported that seven pilgrims were dead (out of which, six are women), and at least 19 people were injured.

All the Internet and telecom services have been shut down at Jammu and Kashmir, as the police officials and army men are involved in the rescue operations. PM Narendra Modi told, "India will never get bogged down by such cowardly attacks and evil designs of the hate," and added that his thoughts are with all those people who lost their loved ones in the attack.
