Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah on Thursday asserted that the incumbent governor administration is doing nothing to ensure a fruitful tourist season in Kashmir saying that people across the country should come to Kashmir and experience the hospitality of Kashmiris particularly the houseboat community whose warmth has left deep impressions on those who stay in our boats.
The spokesman said that party president while touring Dal Lake in a Shikara made stopovers at various places and had interaction with the people. Party president later addressed a public gathering at Nehru Park, Dal Lake. While addressing the people, he said, “It is the houseboat community that has kept the tourism alive in Kashmir with their sheer hospitality and warmth. Staying in a houseboat is the best option for those who want to experience the thrill of nature at its best. A peep outside a houseboat affords a panoramic view of the mountain and bracing waters of Dal, those who have stayed in a houseboat carry the everlasting and memorable impression on their hearts.”
“Once in power NC government with Omar Abdullah in the vanguard of it will leave no stone unturned to help the boat the community thrive. We will come up with a roadmap for tourism in Kashmir,” he said.
