“We urge citizens to come forward with any information that can help bring the culprits to justice,” deputy CM Eknath Shinde announced. “By adding to the reward amount, we aim to ensure justice for the victims and their families.”

Earlier, Shinde gave ₹5 lakh to the family of 20-year-old Syed Adil Hussain Shah, who lost his life trying to save tourists during the terrorist attack. Shinde said his men would also reconstruct Shah’s dilapidated house.

Shinde had also flown to Srinagar to oversee relief efforts. He visited a relief camp near the airport, spoke to the stranded tourists and offered support.
