The JKLF chief Mohammad Yasin Malik Monday said the decline in tourism in Kashmir is not due to the security related issue but the unnecessary “flood phobia” carved out of the drainage failure during the past month in Kashmir.
Malik said that the sharp decline in the tourism related activities in Kashmir was mainly due to the “uncalled for hype” given to the rains of the past month that was presented as a major flood threat to Kashmir valley once again.
“It was a drainage failure in actual which was presented as major floods in the offing. It became the primary reason that the hotel bookings got cancelled en-masse and tourism was left in lurch. Beating the trumpets of tourism revival by the government is a mere cry of a thief,” Malik said.
“By visiting the metro cities, the chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed in the old age is trying to become young Farooq Abdullah. He goes on a holiday to Bombay and Delhi and meets the film stars there. This indeed is not going help,” claimed the JKLF chief. (KNS)
