The attack in Pahalgam dealt a serious blow to Kashmir’s tourism sector, which had otherwise seen significant growth over the past few years. In the aftermath, a large number of tourists cancelled their planned visits, severely impacting the local tourism industry.

According to official sources, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, along with several ministers, will visit Pahalgam on Tuesday to conduct meetings. A senior government official stated that the Chief Minister is likely to hold a Cabinet meeting and also engage with local tourism stakeholders at the resort. On Wednesday, he will chair a broader meeting in Gulmarg, North Kashmir, with ministers, administrative secretaries, the divisional commissioner of Kashmir, department heads, and senior police officers.

The General Administration Department has already issued a notification regarding the Gulmarg meeting.

Officials indicated that these meetings are part of a government strategy to send a clear message: the administration, led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, is reaching out to people on the ground.
