Marking the first anniversary of the Pahalgam attack, this Frontline compilation reviews the event and its ongoing impacts. Twelve months after armed assailants claimed the lives of 26 civilians in Baisaran Valley, repercussions persist. The series features reports and discussions with experts on subsequent lapses in security and intelligence, along with the government’s response to the situation. Additional articles explore the implications for relations between India and Pakistan, including diminished diplomatic interactions. The package also covers developments within Kashmir, such as enforcement actions, property destructions, family separations through expulsions, the dissemination of false information in major media outlets, and increased distrust toward local residents. One year later, the Pahalgam event highlights the area’s persistent conflicts and the toll on human lives due to unresolved issues.
