Pahalgam (J&K) May 27, 2025 (ANI): J&K CM Omar Abdullah held the state's first-ever cabinet meeting outside Jammu or Srinagar in Pahalgam, emphasizing it was more than an administrative move. He praised locals for their bravery after the April 22 attack and reaffirmed the government's commitment to development and peace despite ongoing violence. He also highlighted tourism as a key focus, noting the visit of around 60 Maharashtra tour operators more than double the expected number as a positive step toward reviving the travel industry in the region. He thanked them for their support. J&K CM Omar Abdullah said, "This morning, J&K cabinet meeting was convened in Pahalgam. This is the first time this government has held a cabinet meeting outside Jammu or Srinagar. Though we worked as per the agenda of our government, we did not have a cabinet meeting in Pahalgam for just an administrative or government function. The agenda of development and happiness in J&K, the agenda to represent the people in J&K will not stop due to bloodshed. Through this meeting, we thanked people of Kashmir especially those in Pahalgam, for their stand and bravery after the 22nd April attack where they raised their voice against violence and bloodshed… Since we are in Pahalgam, tourism is also on our agenda. A group of Maharashtra tour operators is here in Pahalgam. They will also visit Srinagar. What encourages us is that earlier the group was going to be of 20-25 people... But, around 60 tour operators from Maharashtra have come to see how the travel and tour industry can be resumed here... I want to thank these people..."
