Pahalgam terror attack: Security has been beefed up in the national capital following the gruesome terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on Tuesday, officials said.
Terrorists opened fire at a famed meadow near Pahalgam on Tuesday afternoon, killing at least 26 people, mostly tourists, in what appears to be the deadliest attack in the Valley since the Pulwama strike in 2019.
Delhi Police has ramped up security across the city, focusing particularly on the tourist hotspots and border checkpoints, officials said, confirming that checking and surveillance have been intensified.
They said traffic movement has also been regulated in the sensitive zones.
The alert coincides with the ongoing visit of US Vice President J D Vance for which security has already been strengthened in Delhi and other cities.
The Pahalgam victims included two foreigners — one from the UAE and the other from Nepal — and two locals, an official said.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said the toll was still being ascertained as he described the attack as “much larger than anything we’ve seen directed at civilians in recent years”.

A Delhi doctor’s self-exam protocol for early breast cancer detection
Delhi: Breast Cancer remains one of the most significant health challenges of our time, claiming over 6,70,000 lives globally in 2022—nearly 1,835 women every day. In India, the number of cases is growing rapidly, with 25% of diagnoses now involving women under 50. By 2040, the country could face one of the highest cancer burdens globally, largely due to delayed detection. Delhi NCR-based oncologist and Indian Army veteran Dr (Lt Col) Brahamjit Singh believes a simple, no-cost innovation may offer part of the solution. His method—the Brahams Protocol (BHP)—is an at-home self-examination technique designed to help individuals detect early signs of breast cancer through visual inspection and touch.
No toilets, water or rest: A day in the life of Delhi’s bus drivers
Delhi: At the heart of Delhi’s bustling Inter-State Bus Terminals (ISBTs) — Anand Vihar, Kashmere Gate, and Sarai Kale Khan — where lakhs of passengers pass through every day, the ones who keep the system running are being quietly crushed by neglect. Bus drivers, the backbone of Delhi’s long-distance public trans port system, are fighting daily battles — not with traffic or fatigue alone, but with the sheer lack of basic human dignity. These men, who spend up to 14–16 hours a day on the roads, are forced to sleep inside stifling buses, deprived of clean washrooms, drinking water, and even a modest place to rest their tired bodies.
