Pahalgam, a year on: Resilience falters, tourism struggles
The 2025 attack on the Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, Kashmir, has significantly impacted tourism and livelihoods. The incident resulted in the closure of several tourist destinations, including Baisaran, Dabyan, and Chandanwari, leading to job losses for locals who relied on tourism-related businesses. The Jammu and Kashmir Cable Car Corporation (JKCCC) is planning a cable car project connecting the meadow with the Yatri Niwas hotel to attract pilgrims during the Amarnath Yatra. Security measures have been intensified in Pahalgam, including facial recognition technology at tourist destinations. The attack has also led to a decline in tourism footfall and financial hardship for hotels and businesses that relied on the influx of visitors. Mehraj Din Wani, an ATV owner, expressed concerns about the long-term impact on local livelihoods.
