BSF Jawans guard Gulmarg Ski Resort amidst tight security in Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on December 25, 2025.

For the safety and security of the tourists, security agencies ensure multi-layered security at key tourist destinations, including cable car terminals, forest tracks, crowded tourist spots, and major access routes. These measures are taken in the backdrop of the Pahalgam attack in April this year, where 25 non-local tourists and a local pony operator are killed by terrorists. The government anticipates a heavy rush of tourists ahead of New Year celebrations in resorts like Gulmarg and Pahalgam, where some locals and tourists visit for the celebrations. These destinations see a steep decline in tourists after the Pahalgam attack.

Dozens of migrants who live for years in the informal settlement known as B9 in Badalona set up an improvised camp under a city highway after being evicted on December 17, 2025, in what is the largest eviction in Catalonia's history. Around 400-500 migrants, many at high risk and lacking proper documentation, lose their homes in the midst of heavy rains and cold weather just before Christmas. Several non-governmental organizations provide food, clothing, and fire-making materials to help those affected, while some sleep outdoors under the C-31 highway to shield themselves from the elements. The conservative mayor of Badalona, Xavier Garcia Albiol, known for his tough stance on immigration, states he will not allow the camp to become permanent, drawing criticism from human rights experts and UN rapporteurs who consider the eviction without housing alternatives as ''cruel and degrading.''
