Acknowledging the adverse impact of the Pahalgam terrorist attack that has badly hit the tourism sector in Kashmir, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday called for collective efforts to ensure a smooth Amarnath Yatra without any inconvenience to the pilgrims. The annual Amarnath pilgrimage will begin on 3 July.

Chairing a high-level review meeting in Srinagar's civil secretariat, marking the formal resumption of official work in the summer capital after moving from Jammu, the CM emphasised that the civil administration has its own responsibilities which we will have to fulfil at any cost. Deputy chief minister Surinder Chaudhary and chief secretary Atal Dulloo were among the ministers and top bureaucrats present in the meeting.
