Security for the visiting US Vice President, JD Vance, has been significantly stepped up as a precautionary measure following the terror strike in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on Tuesday evening.

Additional deployment of ERT commandos has been made in and around the wing of the Rambagh Palace Hotel, where the US Vice President has been staying since Monday. The hotel premises resembled a cantonment, a police officer said.
