Diplomatic Significance and Local Empowerment through Seaport Development

First, we talk to The Indian Express' Aishwarya Raj about the threats that Kashmiris have been facing across the country since the Pahalgam attack, and especially in Uttarakhand where two Kashmiri shawl sellers were assaulted by locals, and students were heckled and harassed.

Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Diplomatic Affairs Editor Shubhajit Roy about India not only stepping up security and intensifying its efforts to track down the terrorists, but also launching a strong diplomatic offensive against Pakistan since the Pahalgam attack. He shares how New Delhi is actively engaging with its strategic partners, seeking support and pushing for strong international condemnation of the attack. (11:29)
