Asserting that the tourism has been hit quite badly, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday said the government is now focused on Amarnath Yatra and wants to ensure the annual pilgrimage passes off peacefully.

Talking to reporters, Omar, as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said that the tourism has been hit quite badly and there is hardly any tourist coming here in this summer season.

“We are now focused on Amarnath Yatra and want to ensure that every pilgrim leaves from here safe and sound,” he said. “We want the incident-free annual pilgrimage and later on we will start looking at what we can do to promote tourism.”

The Chief Minister further said the ceasefire is intact and there were no reports of any violations from LoC and border. “At present, the damage assesment is being done. Once we get the report, the compensation will be provided to the affected people,” he said.

Wherever needed , we will get centre’s assistance, Omar added.
