SBSP State President urges LG for opening of Aharbal tourist site

Srinagar, Feb 17: State President of Jammu & Kashmir Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP), Vivek Bali on Tuesday visited Hadigam in Kulgam district and interacted with the media on various public issues.

While addressing reporters, Bali welcomed the recent decision of the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to open several tourist destinations across Kashmir, calling it a positive and timely initiative aimed at boosting tourism and local livelihoods. However, he expressed concern that the famous tourist destination Aharbal in Kulgam district was not included in the list of places reopened for visitors. He said Aharbal holds immense tourism potential and plays a significant role in supporting the local economy.

Bali appealed to the administration to include Aharbal in the list and ensure its reopening at the earliest so that tourism-related activities in the area can resume and benefit local residents.
