Tourists no longer sleep in taxis, Farooq Abdullah hails hotel boom in Kashmir
Farooq Abdullah recalled a time when tourists had to sleep in taxis due to lack of accommodation in Kashmir.
Jammu and Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha said 90% of 5,000 hotels built between 2021 and 2024 flouted regulations.
Sinha stated that over Rs 1 lakh crore has been invested in the hotel sector by Kashmiris.
Abdullah said hotels enabled self-employment and highlighted the tourism sector's growth.
Sinha emphasized that tourism benefits must reach the wider community in J&K.
