Terror strike blow to Pahalgam’s tourism, thousands lose livelihoods
The Northlines
|14 MAY 2025
The recent terror attack in Pahalgam has dealt a severe blow to the region’s tourism industry, leaving thousands jobless.
The once-bustling town now stands eerily deserted, as 5,000 horse operators and around 600 vehicle owners— along with their families— who relied on tourism for their livelihood have been left without work.
According to the news agency, the scenic town of Pahalgam, once a vibrant hub of tourist activity in Anantnag, now appears abandoned. The serenity of Kashmir’s Baisaran Valley—often called ‘mini Switzerland’ for its postcard-perfect views—was shattered on April 22, when a terror attack in Pahalgam claimed 26 lives.
