Pahalgam Attack: 48 Resorts Shut In Jammu & Kashmir Amid Terror Threat, Govt Takes Big Step

Following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives, the Jammu and Kashmir government has taken a major preventive step to ensure public safety. Acting on security agencies' recommendations, authorities have shut down 48 resorts and several popular tourist spots across the Valley.Known for its serene landscapes and picturesque mountains, the region has now come under heightened security after intelligence reports warned of possible fresh terror strikes. As a result, tourist destinations such as Doodhpathri and Verinag have been temporarily closed to the public.According to sources, this decision was made after inputs suggested the activation of sleeper cells in the region following the Pahalgam attack. These groups are reportedly awaiting instructions to carry out further violence.Out of 87 tourist destinations monitored by the administration, 48 have now been closed until further notice. The move is seen as a precautionary measure to prevent civilian casualties and secure the region.The government has also increased the presence of security forces in vulnerable areas, while tourists have been advised to avoid travel to affected zones.
