Indian Army Chief Lands In Kashmir After Pahalgam Terror Kills 26, What’s Next For Pakistan?

After the brutal terror attack in Pahalgam that left 26 civilians dead, Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi landed in Srinagar to assess the situation. With tensions escalating along the LoC and the Pakistan Army violating the ceasefire, India has retaliated diplomatically—shutting the Attari ICP, expelling Pakistani defence officials, and suspending visa agreements. As search ops continue, the Centre faces growing pressure from citizens demanding stricter action. The attack occurred while global leaders were visiting India, adding geopolitical weight to the unfolding crisis. #PahalgamAttack #ArmyChiefInKashmir #IndiaPakistanTensions #LOCViolation #UpendraDwivedi #PahalgamTerror #JDVanceIndia #ModiSaudiVisit #KashmirSecurity #IndianArmy #SAARCVisaBan #ICPClosed #PakistanCeasefireBreach #DiplomaticTension #ProtestsErupt #TerrorInPahalgam #TouristAttack #BaisaranValley #MilitaryAlert #VikramMisri
