He served the nation with courage and honour. Our thoughts are with his loved ones. May they find strength and solace in this unimaginable time of grief. We will always remember Corporal Hailyang for his service and sacrifice. Om Mani Padme Hum.”
Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma termed the attack as a “heinous act of violence” and called on citizens to unite against terrorism. “Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones, and we stand in solidarity with those affected. In the face of hate and violence, I urge everyone to unite against terrorism,” he posted on X.

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha also voiced his anguish. “Strongly condemn the cowardly attack on innocent tourists in Pahalgam—condolences to the families who lost loved ones. Praying for the speedy recovery of the injured,” he said on X.
Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla added his voice to the chorus of condemnation, calling the incident “deeply tragic” and extending his condolences to the bereaved while praying for the recovery of the wounded.
