Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said that the terrorists responsible for the Pahalgam attack have been identified and will soon be dealt with. While delivering a lecture on 'Jammu and Kashmir: Towards Peace' at the Gandhi Smriti, Sinha emphasized that any attempts to disrupt peace in the Kashmir Valley will not succeed.

"Following the Pahalgam attack, Pakistan received a strong response through Operation Sindoor. Those who carried out the attack have been identified, and I can confidently say they do not have long to live. Good news will come, but it's not appropriate to disclose a specific date. Over the past five years, even the highest leaders of various terrorist organisations are no longer alive, and they will meet the same fate," Sinha said.

On April 22, 26 people, mostly tourists, were gunned down by terrorists in an attack at Pahalgam in the Kashmir Valley. In retaliation, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 to target terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
