Tourism Minister Shekhawat visits Pahalgam attack site, hails people’s strength and resolve

Union Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat visited the Pahalgam terror attack site on Thursday and said the strength of the people and the “quiet resolve” to not let fear define them represent the “real soul of Kashmir”.

Shekhawat, who also visited the ancient Martand sun temple at Mattan in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district, promised topmost security for Amarnath Yatra pilgrims.

The Union minister, who arrived in Srinagar on Wednesday morning as part of his two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir, also met Chief Minister Omar Abdullah a day ago and the two leaders held a “positive and forward-looking discussion” on the tourism sector’s development in the Union Territory. PTI
