Anantnag, Sep 18: Voters in Pahalgam, a bustling tourist destination, showed enthusiasm as they participated in the first phase of assembly elections. Their only desire is to see development in the scenic locale.
The residents said that their primary motivation for voting was the development of Pahalgam.
“Development is our only priority. Regardless of who wins, Pahalgam must be enhanced to attract tourists from across the country and around the globe,” said Abdul Rahim, a local voter.
Many residents in Pahalgam are employed in the tourism sector, and Rahim said there is a need for further growth in this area to support their livelihoods.
“We cannot expect a boom in tourism without the development of our attractions; it’s crucial to beautify these destinations to draw more visitors to Kashmir,” he added.
Another voter, Ashiq Ahmad said, “Though progress has been made so far, much more needs to be done. “While much has been achieved, there is always room for betterment. We hope the winning candidate will initiate the development process as soon as the new government takes office in Jammu and Kashmir,” he said. (KNO)
