Visakhapatnam Mourns Pahalgam Loss of J.C Mouli

Visakhapatnam grieves J.C. Chandra Mouli's death in the Pahalgam attack. Known for community dedication, his loss echoes strongly.

Retired bank employee J.C. Chandra Mouli's tragic death in the Pahalgam attack deeply impacts his Visakhapatnam community.

The death of JC Chandra Mouli, a retired bank employee from Visakhapatnam, in the recent Pahalgam terror attack came as a rude shock to his neighbours, who remembered him as a friendly and sociable person.
Mouli, who lived in the Pandurangapuram area of the port city, spent his retirement in an apartment and actively supported the bank employees&rsquo; association, said Ravi Kumar, a neighbour.
"This is highly shocking news. We didn&rsquo;t believe it at first. It distressed me deeply&mdash;a tragic development," Kumar told a vernacular news channel, adding that he was forced to accept the news after seeing Mouli&rsquo;s photograph on a trusted news platform.
According to Kumar, Mouli regularly spent about two hours a day at the SBI head office in Vizag, attending to matters related to the employees&rsquo; association.
"During apartment meetings, he took a keen interest in resolving issues. He was elected vice-president of our apartment association, and I serve as the secretary," he said.
Kumar also fondly recalled crossing paths with Mouli during morning and evening walks, often engaging in friendly conversations.
He remembered that he was out of town when Mouli left for Kashmir and recalled Mouli mentioning that he had just sent his daughter back to the US.
Though neighbours were expecting Mouli to return today or tomorrow, Kumar said the tragic news has left them shattered.
Mouli, originally from Srikakulam, had settled in Visakhapatnam due to his banking career. Both his daughters are based in the US.
His body is expected to arrive in Visakhapatnam around 10 pm on an Air India flight via Mumbai and Hyderabad.
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is expected to personally receive the body and pay his respects.
Meanwhile, the second Telugu victim of the attack has been identified as S Madhusudan, a software engineer from Bengaluru.
Madhusudan, who was settled in Bengaluru, had gone on a holiday to Jammu and Kashmir with his wife and two children. He was originally from Kavali in the Nellore district.
His body is scheduled to arrive in Chennai around 10 pm and will then be transported to Nellore by ambulance.

The Pahalgam terror attack has led to a 90% drop in Kashmir tourism due to safety fears, impacting travel agents and economic stability.

Mass Cancellations in Kashmir Post-Attack

Tourism in Kashmir suffers a severe blow as 90% of bookings get canceled following a tragic terror attack in Pahalgam, raising safety concerns.

Tourism plummets in Kashmir post-Pahalgam attack, causing vast cancellations and financial strain.

In the aftermath of a terror attack in Pahalgam, several travel agencies in Delhi said on Wednesday that nearly 90 per cent bookings for Jammu and Kashmir have been cancelled by tourists over safety concerns.
Around 25 people have asked them to cancel their bookings for the Union Territory, said Gaurav Rathi, owner of Swan Travellers, a company located in Shankar Market, Outer Circle, Connaught Place.
He added that most of the tourists had planned to visit Kashmir next month and are now requesting cancellations.
The attack took place around 3 pm on Tuesday, when terrorists descended from the mountains in Pahalgam's Baisaran valley and opened fire on tourists. The area, often referred to as "mini Switzerland" for its lush green meadows, is a popular tourist destination.
At least 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed in the ghastly attack.
Travel agencies in Delhi reported that nearly 90 per cent bookings for Kashmir have been cancelled, while some tourists are negotiating to shift their plans to alternative destinations.
"We had a few bookings from families. From bus and flight tickets to hotels -- everything was booked in advance. But the moment the news of the terror attack broke, we started receiving calls for cancellations," Dev, the owner of Kusha Travels, told PTI.
Popular tourist spots like Gulmarg, Hajan Valley and the Tulip Gardens were among the most-booked destinations.
"We had more than 20 bookings for Kashmir for this month and next month, but almost all of those have been cancelled indefinitely," said Kartik Verma, a travel agent from Good Guide Tours and Travels.
"People are asking for refunds. They are saying they cannot risk taking their loved ones to a place where there is a chance that they might not return," he added.
Since some bookings, especially for flights and hotels, are non-refundable, it is creating a real mess for the tour agencies, Verma said, adding that during this time of the year, Kashmir is among the most sought-after destinations for families.
Another travel agency, Swastik Travels, said Kashmir is not just the first-choice destination for Delhiites, but also very popular among the tourists visiting Delhi, many of whom plan onward trips to the valley.
"It is not just Delhi residents cancelling their plans -- tourists already in the capital are also calling off their Kashmir trips, even though hotel tariffs are at a peak this summer. People are cancelling regardless of the cost," said the owner of Swastik Travels.
"Not just Kashmir, people are now scared to even visit Jammu. We had bookings for seven families headed to Katra for the Vaishno Devi shrine and all of those have been cancelled after the horrific attack," he added.
Another travel agency, AJ Tours and Travels, said they have been instructed to stop taking further bookings for Jammu and Kashmir.
"We have been directed by the Travel Association of Srinagar to halt all transportation and bookings. So we are not accepting any new bookings for Jammu and Kashmir until further notice," the agency said.
The Pahalgam attack is the deadliest in the valley since the 2019 Pulwama strike.
Among the dead were two foreigners and two local residents, according to a senior official who declined to share more details.

He said that in view of the terror attack in Pahalgam, they do not wish to continue with their tour, and requested the government to arrange for their return home.
Nilesh Jain's brother Arun Jain, who is a journalist in Buldhana, said his two sons were accompanying his brother, the latter's wife and their daughter on the Jammu and Kashmir tour.

A high-ranking commander of The Resistance Front (TRF) has been cornered in an ongoing gunfight between militants and security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Kulgam district. The encounter in the Tangmarg area erupted a day after a devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam claimed the lives of 26 individuals.
This attack, one of the most severe targeting civilians in recent years, was attributed to the TRF, a group linked to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba.
On Tuesday afternoon, a group of five to six militants launched an assault on tourists in the Baisaran meadow, located approximately five kilometers from Pahalgam.
Accessible solely by foot or horseback, the area became the scene of horror as militants emerged from pine forests, opening fire on picnickers, pony riders, and food stall patrons. Victims included mostly tourists, among them two foreigners from the UAE and Nepal, as well as two local residents.
The attack drew swift responses from top Indian officials. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was on an official visit to Saudi Arabia at the time, returned to India to convene a Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting in New Delhi, focusing on the security scenario in Jammu and Kashmir.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah rushed to Srinagar hours after the attack.

Muslim Leaders Advocate Peace After Attack

In response to the Pahalgam terror attack, Muslim organizations emphasize Islam's peace principles, condemning violent actions and stressing unity.

Muslim leaders in India unite to condemn the Pahalgam attack, stressing that violence contradicts Islam's principles, urging peace.

Prominent Muslim organisations on Wednesday strongly condemned the Pahalgam terror attack, with the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind asserting that it is wrong to give a religious colour to the incident as terrorism is a "cancer" that contradicts Islam's policy of promoting peace.
The terror attack at a prime tourist location in Pahalgam in south Kashmir's Anantnag district on Tuesday left at least 26 people, mostly tourists, dead and several injured.
Imam Umer Ahmed Ilyasi, the head of the All India Imam Organisation, said the imams of more than 5.5 lakh mosques in the country will give a strong message against terrorism, along with praying for the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack, during the Friday prayers this week.
After a meeting with the officials of his organisation and representatives of many other religions, Ilyasi said killing innocent people on the basis of religion is not only against Islam, but against humanity.
"Prayers will be offered at mosques for the innocent people who have been killed in Pahalgam and their families. During the Friday prayers, the imam will give a strong message against terrorism during his khutba (religious sermon)," he said.
"Our demand from the government is that no terrorist should be allowed to be buried on the soil of India," Ilyasi added.
Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind president Maulana Arshad Madani strongly condemned the cowardly terror attack in Pahalgam.
He expressed deep sorrow and solidarity with the victims' families and prayed for the swift recovery of the injured, a statement issued by the Jamiat said.
Madani said those who kill innocent people are not humans but "beasts".
"There is no room for terrorism in Islam. Terrorism is a cancer that contradicts Islam's policy of promoting peace. It is essential for every believer to raise their voice against it," he said.
The Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind considers criminal acts, especially those based on religion, to be a cause of destruction for the country and its peace and security, Madani said.
While this heinous act by terrorists is causing great concern, at the same time, the common people of Kashmir are also expressing their hatred and disapproval of this terrorist act, he noted.
"The condemnation of such acts from the mosques indicates that the common people of Kashmir desire to promote peace and harmony in the region. It shows that the spirit of brotherhood, compassion and unity is strong and alive in their hearts irrespective of their religions," the Jamiat chief said.
This also indicates that the government will have the full support of the Kashmiri people in maintaining law and order, Madani added.
He asserted that it is wrong to give this tragedy a religious colour.
"Among the deceased was not only a Muslim, but according to the reports coming from there, during the attacks, local people risked their own lives to save many tourists and took the injured to the hospital. After the attack, no official assistance arrived for a while and there were no vehicles available to transport the injured. In such a situation, local residents came out of their homes and saved the lives of many people," he said.
"In doing so, they set an example of humanity. And while doing so, they did not ask anyone about their religion. The common people of Kashmir are deeply shocked and angry over this tragedy. They have expressed their feelings by holding torch marches at various places," he said.
This is a sign that the common people of Kashmir desire peace, unity and development in the region, and do not support any form of extremism, Madani said.
"Therefore, the media should avoid one-sided and biased reporting. This is not the time to fuel hatred, but rather a moment to come together to heal the wounds ... and to promote unity, love and brotherhood," he said.
Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH) president Syed Sadatullah Husaini also strongly condemned the heinous terror attack in Pahalgam.
In a statement, the Jamaat president expressed deep sorrow and outrage at the tragic loss of lives and called for immediate justice.
"We strongly condemn the deadly terror attack that took place in Pahalgam, south Kashmir. The loss of innocent lives, including foreign tourists, is deeply saddening. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their grieving families. There can be no justification for such a barbaric act," he said.
It is completely inhuman and deserves absolute and unequivocal condemnation, Husaini said, asserting that those responsible must be brought to justice and given the harshest punishment.
The JIH chief stressed that no cause -- political, ideological or otherwise -- can ever justify such barbaric violence.
"This was an inhuman act that defies every moral and ethical code," he said.
He urged state and central authorities to take decisive and transparent steps to ensure justice for the victims, bolster security measures and safeguard vulnerable communities.
He also called on the civil society, faith leaders and the media to act responsibly and refrain from narratives that may further inflame tensions or target innocent groups.
