Mumbai Police are on 'high alert' following Tuesday's Pahalgam terror attack, which has left 26 people, mostly tourists, dead.
“It is to inform that all Senior Police Inspectors and Zonal Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCP) are instructed to remain more alert and vigilant in their jurisdiction,” Akbar Pathan, DCP (Operation), stated.
On Tuesday afternoon, terrorists opened fire at a famed meadow near Kashmir's Pahalgam town.
The attack is said to be the deadliest in the valley since the 2019 Pulwama strike.
The dead included two foreigners and two locals, a high-ranking official said without getting into details, PTI reported.
The toll is still being ascertained, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said while describing the terror attack as "much larger than anything we've seen directed at civilians in recent years".
Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived in Srinagar on Tuesday night to review the security situation in Kashmir following the Pahalgam terror attack, officials said.
