The Impressive Timesfaridabad, April 25: A wave of shock and sorrow has gripped the nation and the global community after a brutal terror attack in the picturesque town of Pahalgam claimed the lives of 26 innocent civilians and left over 20 others injured. The attack, targeting families and tourists during a peaceful gathering, has been widely condemned as a barbaric and cowardly act of violence.
The horror unfolded during what was meant to be a joyful occasion, as civilians gathered in the popular tourist destination nestled in the Kashmir Valley. Eyewitnesses described the chaos and fear that erupted as armed terrorists opened fire indiscriminately. The deliberate targeting of civilians has been described as an assault on humanity, unity, and peace.
This tragic incident has sparked international outrage, with people from all walks of life expressing grief and solidarity. Governments and human rights organizations across the globe have called for immediate and stringent action against those responsible. Particular concern has been raised over the suspected involvement of cross-border terror networks operating with support from hostile elements in neighbouring countries.
Authorities have confirmed that strong diplomatic and strategic steps are being taken to address the issue, including pressuring nations that provide shelter and support to terrorist groups. India has reiterated its commitment to counterterrorism and its resolve to bring justice to the victims.
In response to the tragedy, the Modern School fraternity — including students, staff, and parents — expressed profound grief and solidarity with the victims. The school organized a special assembly on campus to honor those who lost their lives in the attack. With tearful eyes and heavy hearts, students lit candles as a tribute to the departed souls and offered prayers for peace and healing.
Dr. (Mrs.) Neelima Jain, Principal of Modern School, addressed the gathering with a message of compassion, unity, and resilience. “This attack is not just on the people of Pahalgam, but on humanity itself. We must all stand together against terrorism in every form,” she said. Her emotional speech struck a deep chord with the students and faculty present.
A two-minute silence was observed as a mark of respect and remembrance for the victims. The solemn occasion served not only as a tribute but also as a reminder of the importance of standing united in the face of hatred and violence.
Parents, many of whom joined the assembly virtually and in person, appreciated the school’s initiative and echoed the call for global action. “This is not just India’s pain. It is the world’s pain. We must unite to ensure such tragedies never repeat,” said one parent.
As the nation mourns, voices are growing stronger demanding accountability and justice. Citizens and leaders alike are calling on the international community to recognize and act decisively against countries that harbor or support terrorism.
In the face of such adversity, the spirit of unity, compassion, and resilience continues to shine through. The people of India, along with peace-loving citizens worldwide, are standing shoulder to shoulder — united in grief, and stronger in their resolve to defeat the menace of terrorism.
May the souls of the departed rest in peace, and may the wounded heal swiftly. The fight against terror continues — with courage, unity, and hope.
