A Singaporean national of Indian origin had a narrow escape during the ghastly terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam last month. Vaishali Bhatt and her husband had left the scenic Baisaran Valley, known as the "mini-Switzerland", just an hour and a half before terrorists swooped down on the unarmed, innocent civilians enjoying their vacation, and shot 26 of them dead. Disturbed by the tragedy, Ms Bhatt hoped the government would act promptly against terrorism, but as days went by, she started feeling frustrated. However, the news of Operation Sindoor being carried out on the morning of May 7 left her moved.
