Days before the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists, Indian intelligence agencies had flagged potential targeting of tourists near Srinagar, particularly in hotels on the outskirts in the Zabarwan range. This led to heightened security and combing operations in areas like Dachigam and Nishat. Despite these measures, the operation was called off on April 22, the day of the attack. Officials suggest that terrorists aimed to disrupt Prime Minister Modi's planned visit to flag off the first train from Katra to Srinagar last month, which was postponed due to weather. The attack involved two local terrorists mingling with tourists and two Pakistani terrorists executing the killings. (PC: PTI)
