As the first anniversary of the April 22, 2025 Pahalgam terror attack approaches, families of the victims are taking steps to honor their loved ones. Indian Air Force Corporal Tage Hailyang, who was killed in the attack, is being remembered by his family through a memorial near their home in Tajang village, Lower Subansiri district, Arunachal Pradesh, India. His brother, Tage Taka, expressed the family's desire to keep Hailyang's memory alive and ensure that people understand the circumstances of his death. In a parallel story, the family of Santosh Jagdale, a businessman from Pune, Maharashtra, India, continues to cope with the emotional and financial fallout from the tragedy. His daughter, Asawari Jagdale, has taken on the role of primary breadwinner after her father's death, securing a job in the Pune Municipal Corporation after persistent efforts to obtain promised government assistance. As the families commemorate their losses, security measures in Kashmir have been heightened to protect tourists, with new protocols including a QR code-based identification system for service providers, aimed at restoring confidence in the region's safety for visitors.
