Silence at picnic spots in Kashmir

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar

Many tourists from Marathwada visited Jammu and Kashmir, but now they are returning home. The picnic spots are quiet, and though tourists are safe, they report a tense atmosphere. Some are staying in hotels, while others are uneasy despite being far from Pahalgam. The number of visitors at the spots has decreased. The regional administration is collecting tourist information through local disaster management departments.

"We were nearby when the terrorist attack occurred. We’re about 100 km away and have canceled our sightseeing plans. We’re heading back to Pune as soon as possible. The atmosphere is tense, but we are safe at The Pride Inn hotel, Rajabag, Srinagar."
