One Year After Pahalgam Attack, Family Remembers N Ramachandran's Death

A year after the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 65-year-old N Ramachandran and 25 others, his family in Kochi continues to cope with the loss.

The attack prompted India's Operation Sindoor targeting terror bases in Pakistan, but the family says their grief remains unchanged.
