The recent terror attack in Pahalgam has brought to the forefront the need for better coordination between Jammu and Kashmir's elected officials, the Union Government, and the Lieutenant Governor's office, as emphasized by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. He reiterated that tourist security should be the top priority.

RJD MP Manoj Jha urged the Centre to engage in open discussions about Jammu and Kashmir's security concerns. Highlighting the significance of a cooperative approach between the three power centres, he pointed out that the region remains impacted by the deadly attack that claimed 26 lives.

In response to the violence, Chief Minister Abdullah has initiated efforts to restore normalcy.
