Last Tuesday , militants opened fire on tourists visiting Baisaran , a mountain-top meadow in Indian -administered Kashmir .

The attack was one of the deadliest in recent years , devastating the lives of many families and sparking widespread anger in India .

The government in Kashmir has closed down over half the tourist destinations in the valley, as authorities review the security situation and carry out search operations.

Kashmir was just beginning to attract fledgling business investments, but those too could dry up if hostilities go up.

Local leaders have expressed deep anguish to the families who lost their loved ones.

Chief minister Omar Abdullah paid tributes to the victims by reading out names of all the 26 people.

He said people from every part of the country had come under attack.
