Tourism holds huge potential in state: Mehbooba Mufti

Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has said the focus of development framework for tourist resorts in the state should not only be planned growth but also creating economic opportunities for the local communities.
“Unfortunately, the tourism destinations in Jammu and Kashmir have pursued development strategies without proper planning. They have not considered the impact such lopsided changes can have on environment and local communities,” the CM said while reviewing the progress of Master Plan-2032 for the tourist resort of Gulmarg.
