India, April 24 -- Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday paid tribute to Shubham Dwivedi, a Kanpur resident who was among the 26 tourists killed in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, and reaffirmed the government's policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism.

Addressing a gathering in Ghaziabad's Hathipur area, Adityanath described Tuesday's attack as "brutal, horrific, and cowardly," and said that the "consequences of such acts would be visible to all."

"This government-at both the Centre and state-has always maintained a strict policy against terrorism. The barbarity inflicted upon Hindu mothers and sisters is deeply disturbing. No civilised society can accept such violence," he added.
