Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday announced the reopening of several tourist destinations across Jammu and Kashmir that were temporarily closed as a precautionary measure.
“After a thorough security review and discussion in today’s UHQ meeting, I’ve ordered reopening of more tourist spots in Kashmir and Jammu Divisions, which were temporarily closed as precautionary measures,” the LG posted on X.
In the Kashmir Division, seven sites will reopen from Monday, September 29. These include Aru Valley, Rafting Point Yanner, Akkad Park, Padshahi Park and Kaman Post, among others. In the Jammu Division, five popular destinations—Dagan Top, Ramban, Dhaggar in Kathua, and the Shiv Cave in Salal, Reasi—will also be accessible to visitors from the same date.
The Lieutenant Governor said the decision follows a comprehensive review of the security situation and is aimed at boosting tourism while ensuring public safety.
