Pahalgam: A video has emerged wherein a tourist is seen walking in the scenic Baisaran meadow in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, where over 27 people were feared killed after terrorists attacked a group of tourists. Gunshots and screams of people can be heard in the background of the 6-second long video.
In another video the man can be heard saying, “We thought it was firecrackers when we heard two to three rounds. When we heard people screaming, we ran for our lives,” he said thanking god for saving his life.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah briefed Union Home Minister Amit Shah about the Pahalgam terror attack. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and other high-level officials were also present at the high-level meeting.
