Extensive efforts to track down terrorists involved in the attack on pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district continued on Tuesday, with 11 teams of security personnel working on the ground and a multi-directional cordon laid around the Poni-Treyath belt, officials said.

Devotees continue to visit Shiv Khori shrine in Reasi


Undeterred by the terrorist attack on a pilgrim bus that left nine dead, devotees keep steaming in to visit the Shiv Khori temple as usual, reposing faith in the security forces and the god. On Tuesday, devotees were seen making a brief stopover near the site of the incident near Teryath village of the Poni area and raised slogans like ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ and ‘Bharatiya Sena Zindabad’ and praying for the dead. 

Terrorism still there as border porous: Abdullah

National Conference president Farooq Abdullah Tuesday said though the security scenario in Jammu and Kashmir was good, terrorism was still alive as the border with Pakistan remains permeable. “The security (scenario) is good. Terrorism is there. Our border is permeable and there cannot be control everywhere,” Abdullah told reporters in Baramulla when asked about Reasi terror attack.
