In the wake of the tragic Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives last year, the Kashmir government has reopened 39 tourist spots under stringent security measures. The attack had resulted in the closure of 48 locations, but now, with enhanced police and military presence, tourists are beginning to return. Areas like Baisaran Valley remain closed, but security personnel are actively monitoring tourist movements. The Tulip Garden in Srinagar, which opened on March 16, has attracted over 252,000 visitors, signaling a positive trend in tourism recovery. Local businesses are reporting increased activity, with hotel occupancy rising to 40% and pony operators witnessing a surge in demand. Despite the lingering effects of the attack, many tourists express confidence in the security measures, with officials ensuring that safety remains a top priority. The reopening of these sites marks a significant step towards restoring tourism in Kashmir, with hopes for continued growth in visitor numbers as the region stabilizes.
