About Pahalgam Terror Attack: On Tuesday, April 22 in a popular tourist spot in Kashmir, Baisaran Meadows, tourists were attacked. The attack took place after terrorists targeted a group of tourists visiting Pahalgam in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir. The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar offshoot, has reportedly taken responsibility for this brutal attack.
Eyewitnesses described a sudden attack by the terrorists, who were disguised in military uniforms, emerged from nearby woods and opened fire on a group of around 40 tourists, including women and elderly people. The assault left at least 20 people injured. The videos from the aftermath of the attack show people lying motionless and bloodied on the ground while women were traumatised and looking for their loved ones.
Talking about Akshay Kumar's work front, he is basking in the success of his historical court drama Kesari Chapter 2. Directed by debutant Karan Singh Tyagi and bankrolled by Karan Johar under his banner Dharma Productions. Besides Akshay, the film starred R Madhavan and Ananya Panday in powerful roles.
The film brings the courageous life of C. Sankaran Nair, who fought fearlessly against the British Empire in court after the horrific Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919. The film is currently screening in theatres since its release on April 18. Kesari 2 has received rave responses from audiences alike.
