Thousands of tourists have begun leaving Kashmir after the gruesome terror attack in Pahalgam on Tuesday, with authorities making all efforts for the safe return of the visitors to their respective home states. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said it was “heartbreaking” to see the exodus of tourists.
“It’s heartbreaking to see the exodus of our guests from the valley after yesterday’s tragic terror attack in Pahalgam but at the same time we totally understand why people would want to leave. While DGCA & the Ministry of Civil Aviation are working to organise extra flights, NH-44 between Srinagar & Jammu has been reconnected for traffic in a single direction,” Abdullah posted on X.
