• Avoid Remote or Unpatrolled Places: Stick to well-frequented tourist paths and avoid venturing alone into isolated meadows or forests1.
  
  
• Inform Someone About Your Itinerary: Share your travel plans with family, friends, or hotel staff so someone knows your whereabouts1.
  
  
• Keep Emergency Contacts Handy: Save local police, ambulance, hospital, and embassy numbers on your phone for quick access1.
  
  
• Follow Local Safety Guidelines: Respect curfews and instructions from authorities, especially in conflict-prone areas1.
  
  
• Be Cautious on Social Media: Avoid sharing real-time location details that could expose you to risk1.
  
  

What to Do During a Attack

• Seek Immediate Cover: Find a safe spot behind solid objects or natural barriers to protect yourself from gunfire or stabbing5.
  
  
• Disengage and Escape if Possible: Prioritize running away from the threat rather than confronting it5.
  
  
• Stay Calm and Assess: Try to remain composed to make rational decisions quickly.
  
  
• Help Others if Safe: Assist injured persons to safety if you can do so without exposing yourself to danger1.
  
  
• Call Emergency Services Immediately: Dial local police, ambulance, or military helpline to report the attack and get help1.
  
  

First Aid for Gunshot Wounds

• Call Emergency Services Immediately: In India, dial 112 or local emergency numbers24.
  
  
• Stop the Bleeding: Apply firm, direct pressure on the wound using a clean cloth or sterile gauze to control bleeding24.
  
  
• Do Not Remove Bullets or Protruding Objects: Leave embedded objects in place; apply pressure around them if necessary3.
  
  
• Keep the Victim Calm and Still: Lay them flat to reduce blood loss and prevent shock4.
  
  
• Maintain Airway and Breathing: If unconscious and not breathing, begin CPR if trained23.
  
  
• Prevent Infection: Cover the wound with clean dressing but do not attempt to clean the wound yourself2.
  
  
• Monitor for Shock: Look for pale skin, rapid pulse, or shallow breathing and keep the victim warm3.
  
  

First Aid for Stab Wounds

• Call Emergency Services Immediately: Dial 112 or local ambulance3.
  
  
• Apply Firm Pressure: If no object is protruding, press directly on the wound to control bleeding3.
  
  
• If Object Protrudes: Apply pressure around the object without pushing it in or removing it, using a ring-shaped grip with fingers3.
  
  
• Keep the Victim Calm: Reassure them and keep them conscious and talking if possible3.
  
  
• Watch for Shock and Treat Accordingly: Keep the victim warm and monitor vital signs3.
  
  
• Begin CPR if Necessary: If breathing stops, start CPR immediately3.
  
  

Basic Self-Defense Techniques Against Knife or Physical Attack

• Avoid Confrontation: Disengage and run if possible; create distance between you and the attacker56.
  
  
• Maintain Safe Distance: Keep about one to one-and-a-half arm lengths from the attacker to react in time6.
  
  
• Use the Element of Surprise: If forced to defend, strike quickly and unexpectedly6.
  
  
• Simple Effective Moves:
  
  
• • Palm Heel Strike: Strike attacker’s nose or jaw with the heel of your palm to disorient7.
    
    
  • Elbow Strike: Use close-range elbow hits to jaw, ribs, or temple7.
    
    
  • Knee Strike: Target groin or stomach to incapacitate attacker67.
    
    
  • Groin Kick: A powerful kick to disable attacker quickly7.
    
    
  • Eye Gouge: Use fingers to target eyes to force attacker to release you7.
    
    
• Adopt Defensive Stance: Stand sideways with hands up and open to protect vital areas and signal readiness to defend67.
  
  
• Keep Techniques Simple: Under stress, fine motor skills degrade; rely on basic, practiced moves6.
  
  

Emergency Helplines to Dial in India

• Police and General Emergency: 112
  
  
• Ambulance: 102 or 108 (varies by region)
  
  
• Local Military or Paramilitary: Contact local authorities for specific numbers if in conflict zones
  
  
• Tourist Helpline: 1363 (India Tourism)
  
  
• Embassy or Consulate: Save your country’s local embassy contact for assistance
  
  

Summary

In the event of a terrorist attack on tourists:

• Immediately seek cover or escape.
  
  
• Call emergency services (112 in India) as soon as safe.
  
  
• Provide first aid focusing on stopping bleeding and keeping victims calm.
  
  
• Use simple self-defense moves only if escape is impossible.
  
  
• Stay informed and prepared before traveling to sensitive areas.
  
  
• Always travel with trusted guides and share your itinerary.
  
  

These measures can significantly improve personal safety and survival chances during violent attacks like the Pahalgam incident.
