Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday visited the residence of Shubham Dwivedi, one of the 26 victims of the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, and paid floral tributes to him before his final rites were performed in Kanpur.

Dwivedi, a 28-year-old software engineer, got married just two months ago and was on a trip to Kashmir when terrorists attacked civilians in the Baisaran valley near Pahalgam. His mortal remains arrived in Lucknow on Wednesday night, where Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak offered tributes at the airport.

Shubham Dwivedi got married two months ago, and he was killed in the terror attack there. This is a very cowardly attack by the terrorists and shows that terrorism is on its last breath...This type of incident is not acceptable in a country like India..."
