Srinagar, May 27: A cabinet meeting led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah began on Tuesday afternoon at Pahalgam in Anantnag district of South Kashmir.
An official said that a cabinet meeting is being held for the first time in Pahgam, which aims to send a message of peace and general status to tourists, who left most of the valley after the April 22 terror attack in which 26 civilians including 25 tourists were killed.
This is the first time that the cabinet meeting is getting away from the Chief Minister’s residence in Civil Secretariat or Jammu and Srinagar. An official said that apart from tourism revival, the Amarnath Yatra is being discussed.
The tourism sector in Kashmir has been badly killed after the Pahalgam attack on 22 April this year.
