As panic buying gripped parts of Jammu amid heightened tensions along the Indo-Pak border, the Jammu Traders' Federation on Wednesday appealed for calm, assuring the public that there is no shortage of essential supplies.  

The federation announced reactivation of "war rooms" to distribute free ration and medicines to border residents affected by the current hostilities. The reassurance came as authorities evacuated hundreds of civilians from villages along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border (IB) following intense cross-border shelling by the Pakistan Army.

In Jammu and Kashmir, Indians near the border are being moved to safer places. This comes on the heels of Pakistan's intentional attack on unarmed civilians.

There is widespread outrage on multiple social media platforms in India, as more and more people watch the visuals coming in from Poonch.

'No Pak Military Camp Targeted, No Collateral Damage In Strike', Says Goverment    

Targets selected based on credible intel, to break the backbone of terror, says government

Operation Sindoor Live Updates : The government has condemned the Pahalgam terror attack as "barbaric." According to Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, most victims were shot in the head at close range, often in front of their families. Attackers deliberately traumatized survivors and told them to "carry back the message." Misri said the attack was aimed at disrupting the return of normalcy in Kashmir. 

 Operation Sindoor Briefing Live: "A group called The Resistance Front (TRF) has claimed responsibility for Pahalgam attack. This group is connected with Lashkar-e Taiba. Pakistan links have been established in this attack. On April 25, Pakistan's pressure to remove the reference to TRF from the media release shouldn't be ignored. Pahalgam terrorist attack has exposed the links of Pakistan with terrorists." 

Operation Sindoor Briefing Live : Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri says, "On 22 April 2025, terrorists related to LeT and Pakistan attacked tourists in Kashmir's Pahalgam and killed 25 Indian nationals and 1 Nepali citizen... They shot tourists in the head in front of their family members. The family were threatened and told to convey the message of that barbarism. Since tourism was again flourishing in J&K, and hence the main aim of the attack was to damage that."
