The Pahalgam terror attack raises serious questions of security and intelligence failure, Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir said on Thursday.

In Tuesday's terror attack in Baisaran near Kashmir's resort town of Pahalgam, 26 people, mostly tourists, were gunned down.

Mir, who is the Leader of the Jammu and Kashmir Congress Legislature Party, asked the government why there was no security in the area.

“The Pahalgam attack raises major questions of security and intelligence failure,” Mir said.

“Why was there no security in the area, which is usually there. The government should respond,” Mir said.

Baisaran is a favourite tourist hotspot and is frequented by several tourists every day.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
