The economic needs of the people are also allied with it by one way or the other way. Once Kashmiri tourism industry was its peak and people around the globe used to visit serene places in Kashmir during winter snowfall .people allied with it were expecting a great move of tourists during the first snowfall in valley but tourists do not want to visit lush valleys at the cost of their lives.
Abrogation of Article and pandemic has hit the tourism sector badly and the situation is same in spite of season’s first snowfall. Government must pay heed to the severity of issue to deal the matter with iron hands. A safe environment must be ensured in order to attract global tourists again which will once again help to flourish the economy of Kashmir.
It is evident that the situation of tourism sector is running in backward direction which has put the tourism sector in dark. During 90’s when the uncertainty was at the top rank but the people allied with tourism sector keep the candle burning. In spite of it ,the Government is ignoring them completely. People allied with tourism sector have requested LG Manoj Sinha to initiate the steps to restart the lucrative industry which attracts the enchantment of tourists all over the world.
