Srinagar” The Lieutenant Governor’s administration in Jammu and Kashmir has implemented a comprehensive strategy aimed at fostering cross-border tourism while ensuring the safety and prosperity of residents along the border. Through proactive measures, the administration has effectively addressed longstanding security challenges, significantly reducing incidents of cross-border shelling and firing. This has created a more secure environment for border communities, enabling them to engage in agricultural activities and benefit from tourism initiatives.
By prioritizing security and fostering cooperation with security forces and diplomatic channels, the administration has succeeded in establishing a stable border environment, instilling a sense of security among residents. As a result, families can now live without the constant fear of violence, allowing them to resume normal activities like agriculture and trade, thereby improving their overall quality of life.
Moreover, the administration has recognized the potential of the picturesque border regions and actively promoted border tourism. This has not only attracted visitors from diverse backgrounds but also stimulated economic growth in the region. Activities such as trekking, camping, and cultural exchange have flourished, offering opportunities for local businesses and individuals to thrive.
To address unemployment, especially among vulnerable populations, the government has launched the Tourist Village Scheme, aiming to create job opportunities in the hospitality sector and encourage the development of local handicrafts and traditional art forms. Special attention has been given to empowering marginalized communities through training programs and skill development initiatives, ensuring their active participation in the tourism-driven economy.
Overall, the administration’s focus on security and inclusive development has transformed Jammu and Kashmir into a safe and prosperous region, fostering hope and optimism among its residents.
