Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday said closure of tourist destinations, including Doodhpathri, Tosamaidan and Yousmarg, for about nine months due to security concerns has affected local livelihoods, and the government is considering a relief package.
Abdullah also said that he will take up reopening of the spots with the Union home minister.
Replying to questions by MLAs Saif-ud-Din Bhat and Nazir Ahmed Khan in the assembly, the CM said closure has hit ATV operators, ponywalas, guides and other stakeholders, including youth who availed loans for tourism ventures.
