GoI’s next priority is to create jobs and make the Valley understand a better life is possible
Good News: The UT of Kashmir saw a record 1.27 lakh tourists in November. This compares to the seven-year average of 54,200 for November; and against 6,327 in 2020, 12,086 in 2019 and 33,720 in 2018. Given India’s population, even this monthly 1,27,000 isn’t huge, translating to around 4,000 daily tourists. Yet, it is a ray of hope in a land of perennial crisis.
These tourist numbers can grow multiple times. That would mean more jobs, a better economy, and overall prosperity for the local population. This is what will ultimately solve the Kashmir problem – aspirations for a better life and hope for a better tomorrow.
