PIL Filed in Supreme Court Seeking Safety Measures for Tourists After Pahalgam Terror Attack

In the wake of the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of at least 26 tourists, Advocate Vishal Tiwari has filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court.

The petition urges the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and state governments to implement the safety measures for tourists, especially in hilly and remote areas that are used by large crowds during the summer season. 

Key demands include the deployment of armed security personnel at popular tourist sites, the establishment of emergency medical facilities, and the formation of a dedicated special force to ensure tourist safety. The PIL also highlights the need for adherence to international counter-terrorism guidelines for protecting tourists.
