Three tourists from Dombivli are among those killed in the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22. The attack claimed the lives of 26 people, mostly tourists, and left at least 12 others injured.

Maharashtra deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde has urged Union civil aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu to arrange a special flight to evacuate stranded tourists from Maharashtra.

The incident, which targeted tourists in the Pahalgam area of Anantnag district, has sparked widespread condemnation across the country from several political leaders.

The Dombivli residents have been identified as Hemant Joshi, Sanjay Lele, and Atul Mone. A pall of gloom prevailed in the neighbourhood where the three lived.

Mone was a senior section engineer with Indian Railways.

Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has assured that the Maharashtra government is committed to helping the affected tourists in every way possible.

Meanwhile, security forces remain on high alert as investigations continue to identify and apprehend those responsible for the attack.
