Pahalgam Attack Impact: The Jammu and Kashmir government has shut down 48 resorts and many tourist spots just days after a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam. The attack which took place in the peaceful meadows of Pahalgam resulted in the death of 26 civilians creating a wave of fear and sadness across the region.
The scenic Union Territory famous for its beautiful valleys and snow-covered mountains has seen a sudden drop in tourism. Popular places like Doodhpatri and Verinag have been declared off-limits for tourists. Authorities say the step has been taken for safety reasons, as they fear more attacks could happen.
Tourism plays a huge role in the economy of Kashmir. Many local people depend on visitors for their daily earnings. However after the tragic incident, many tourists have either canceled their trips or are quickly leaving the region. Just a week ago, Pahalgam was full of life with bustling markets and happy travelers. Now streets look empty and silent.
Local residents are deeply worried about their future. Many have taken to the streets to protest against the violence. They have shown unity and demanded strong action against those responsible for the attack. People feel that if terrorism continues, it will badly hurt not just tourism but also their way of life.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has spoken about the situation, urging for careful handling of the crisis. He mentioned that the people of Kashmir have clearly stood against the killing of innocent civilians and warned that wrong actions might further upset the locals.
This heartbreaking incident has shaken the peaceful image of Kashmir and reminded everyone of the ongoing security challenges. For now, the region is focusing on safety and standing together in grief and hope.
