Students and members of civil society organisations came together in Jammu on Wednesday to hold solidarity marches marking the anniversary of the Pahalgam attack. The events were organised to pay tribute to the victims and express collective resolve against terrorism.
Participants, including students from various educational institutions, social activists, and local residents, marched through key areas of the city carrying placards and candles. They raised slogans condemning terrorism and called for unity and peace. Many also held photographs of the victims as a mark of respect and remembrance.
The marches were peaceful, with participants emphasizing the importance of standing together as a society in the face of violence. Organisers said the initiative was aimed at keeping the memory of the victims alive and showing support to their families, who continue to bear the loss.
Several speakers addressed the gatherings during the marches, highlighting the need for communal harmony and resilience. They urged people not to be divided by acts of terror and instead strengthen the social fabric through solidarity and mutual support.
Security arrangements were put in place across Jammu to ensure the smooth conduct of the marches. Police personnel were deployed at key locations to manage the crowds and maintain order, although the events remained largely calm and orderly throughout.
Participants also observed moments of silence to honour those who lost their lives in the attack. Candles were lit at various points, creating a sombre atmosphere as people reflected on the tragedy and its impact.
The Pahalgam attack had deeply affected the region, drawing widespread condemnation and highlighting the ongoing security challenges in sensitive areas. The anniversary events in Jammu served not only as a tribute to the victims but also as a reaffirmation of the public’s commitment to peace and unity.
Such solidarity marches have become a way for citizens to collectively express grief and resistance against terrorism. The turnout in Jammu underscored the continued emotional resonance of the incident and the determination of people to stand united against violence.
