Security Forces Target 54 Routes to Find Pahalgam Attackers

Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir are ramping up efforts to locate the terrorists responsible for the Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 lives last month. Authorities are concentrating their search on 54 routes originating from Baisaran, the site of the attack. These routes traverse dense forests and mountainous areas, believed to be hideouts for the assailants. Investigations suggest that three terrorists, two from Pakistan and one from Anantnag, conducted the attack on April 22, targeting tourists in the picturesque Baisaran Valley. The police have released sketches of the suspects: Hashim Musa alias Suleman, Ali Bhai alias Talha Bhai, and Adil Hussain Thoker. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed to "identify, track, and punish" those involved, while India has implemented stringent measures against Pakistan, including the expulsion of military attaches and the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty. sources

Top Court Questions Petitioner's True Motive for Tourist Safety

The Supreme Court of India dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on Monday that sought enhanced safety measures for tourists in Jammu and Kashmir following a recent terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives. Justices Surya Kant and N. Kotiswar Singh criticized the petition, suggesting it was filed for publicity rather than a genuine public cause. Justice Kant questioned the motives behind the PIL, emphasizing the sensitivity of the issue and warning of potential penalties for frivolous filings. The petitioner's lawyer argued that this incident marked the first targeting of tourists in the region, prompting the call for safety directives. The attack on April 22, in the popular tourist area of Baisaran, heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowing to track down the perpetrators relentlessly. sources

India Warns Pakistan Over Chenab Dam Water Flow Blockage

India temporarily halted water flow from the Baglihar dam on the Chenab River as a warning to Pakistan following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 25 lives. This action aligns with India's suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, although the dam's design limits its water storage capacity, necessitating eventual releases. India is also considering similar measures for the Kishanganga Dam near Bandipore. Both projects have faced objections from Pakistan, which claims they violate treaty terms and confer a strategic advantage to India. Despite these tensions, a World Bank arbitration ruled in India's favor regarding the Kishanganga project. Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the Pahalgam attack, asserting that the perpetrators would face severe consequences. Pakistan has warned that any further water restrictions could be viewed as an act of war, threatening to suspend bilateral agreements, including the Simla Agreement. sources

Spain's Blackout Signals Urgent Warning for India

Spain and Portugal's recent blackout underscores the critical need for stable energy grids, a lesson familiar to India, which experienced a massive power failure in 2012 affecting 400 million people. As India expands its renewable energy capacity—85% of the 34 gigawatts added last year came from renewables—there is an urgent need to invest in grid stability and data management to prevent similar disruptions. While the government prioritizes renewable energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and lower costs, it must also address the complexities of integrating new energy sources and consumers into the grid. Estimates for the necessary investment in grid improvements range from $107 billion to $500 billion. Moreover, issues of corporate governance in the renewable sector have emerged, highlighting the importance of regulatory oversight. As India aims to increase its per-capita energy consumption, a robust and well-managed grid will be essential to avoid blackouts in the future. sources

The survivor, who spoke out to combat the stigma surrounding victims of such crimes, expressed her concern that Reddy could target others if not apprehended. She noted the irony of the incident happening in a well-monitored area, highlighting a significant gap in societal attitudes towards personal safety and boundaries. sources
