BSF Jawans patrol in the forest area amidst tight security in Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on December 24, 2025. Ahead of the New Year and Christmas, the Jammu and Kashmir government expects a rush to tourist destinations, particularly the ski resort in Gulmarg, which receives snowfall ahead of these events. 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.
