India shuts over half of Kashmir tourist spots in security review
- Authorities in Indian-controlled Kashmir closed 48 of 87 tourist resorts on April 29 following a deadly attack near Pahalgam.
- The shutdowns respond to a gunmen attack last week that killed 26 people, mostly Indian tourists, raising tensions between India and Pakistan.
- India accused Pakistan of backing the attack claimed by the militant group Kashmir Resistance, while Pakistan denied involvement and requested a neutral probe.
- The massacre triggered diplomatic retaliation including visa cancellations, diplomat recalls, closure of borders, suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, and restricted airspace.
- The closures caused widespread tourism cancellations exceeding one million, increasing fear among tourists and prompting calls to avoid alienating civilians in Kashmir.
