"GDP Increase"

29 April 2025

A woman walks inside the historic Jamia Masjid (Grand Mosque) in downtown Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 29, 2025. Following the April 22, 2025, attack on tourists in Baisaran, Pahalgam, which kills 26 people and injures several others, the government orders the closure of 48 tourist locations, including popular destinations, hotels, restaurants, and mosques across Kashmir. The Pahalgam attack leads to the cancellation of nearly 80% of tourist bookings in the valley, delivering a severe blow to the tourism sector, which contributes significantly to the region's GDP. This setback comes at a time when the region witnesses back-to-back tourism booms and hopes for a bumper tourist season this year as well. Security increases in Indian Kashmir after 26 tourists are killed on April 22, when gunmen open fire on a group of tourists in the popular destination of Pahalgam, an incident regional authorities describe as the most serious attack on civilians in recent years. Tensions between India and Pakistan escalate, sparking fear and uncertainty across the region. The nuclear-armed rivals move closer to military confrontation after Islamabad closes its airspace to Indian aircraft and warns that any attempt by New Delhi to interfere with water supplies under a decades-old treaty would be considered an act of war. In response, India reiterates its accusations that Pakistan continues to support ''cross-border terrorism,'' a claim Pakistan denies.
