Srinagar: In the aftermath of the devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 28 tourists and injured over 20 others, mosques across Jammu and Kashmir have united in condemning the violence. Imams during Friday prayers denounced the killings as "inhuman" and contrary to the teachings of Islam, offering prayers for the victims and urging authorities to ensure justice is served.
The attack occurred on April 22 in the Baisaran meadow near Pahalgam, where militants affiliated with The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba, opened fire on a group of tourists. This incident marks one of the deadliest civilian attacks in the region since the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status in 2019.
Religious leaders across the region have emphasised that such acts of violence are antithetical to Islamic principles.
The attack in #Pahalgam was strongly condemned from several mosques across #JammuAndKashmir.

Two killed, 12 injured after three-storey building collapses in Indore
Indore (PTI): A three-storey house collapsed in Indore's Ranipura area on Monday night following rains, killing two persons and injuring 12 others, officials said.
District Collector Shivam Verma said that 14 members of a family were trapped under the debris of the building.
Of them, 12 were undergoing treatment at the Maharaja Yeshwantrao Government Hospital (MYH), the officer said, adding the deceased have been identified as Alifa and Faheem.
Dean of the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College, Dr Arvind Ghanghoria, told PTI that Alifa (20), who was trapped under the debris of the collapsed building, was brought to the Maharaja Yeshwant Rao Hospital, where doctors declared her dead.
The five-hour rescue operation is now over, the district collector said. "The front portion of the building had recently been rebuilt, but the back portion was old. We will investigate the condition of the building's foundation.
Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava said that a portion of the collapsed building fell on a neighbouring structure. Preliminary information suggests the building was eight to 10 years old.
