Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah recently expressed optimism over the visible revival of tourism in the Valley, particularly in Pahalgam, one of the region’s most beloved hill resorts. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the CM shared his observations from a recent visit to the town, highlighting the contrast between his earlier experience and the current scene.
“The last time I was in Pahalgam, I cycled through a market that was all but deserted. Today, I came back to a Pahalgam that was bustling with activity,” Abdullah wrote, noting that the return of tourists and local picnickers marks a hopeful turn after uncertainty.
