April 22, 2025, marks a tragic anniversary for the families of 26 victims killed in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Asavari Jagdale, daughter of victim Santosh Jagdale, shared the emotional toll on her family, stating, “We have been through hell in the last one year.” Many families are still waiting for the government to fulfill promises of job support and education funding, which remain unfulfilled. The attack, characterized by its brutality and communal targeting, prompted the Indian Army to launch Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025, which aimed to dismantle terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. This operation resulted in significant casualties among terrorist groups. In addition, ongoing security efforts led to the elimination of three individuals linked to the attack. The families continue to seek justice and support while grappling with their profound loss.
