A year on, Pahalgam scripts a story of resilience after Baisaran tragedy

Srinagar, Apr 20:One year after the devastating terror attack at Baisaran Meadow, the picturesque town of Pahalgamoften referred to as Mini Switzerlandis witnessing a steady and determined revival. While Valley, along with the country, solemnly remembers the 26 innocent lives lost in the tragedy, its lush meadows, pine forests, and gentle riverbanks are once again alive with the sounds of visitors, laughter, and clicking cameras, reflecting the unbreakable resilience of Kashmir and its people. Pahalgam stands tall not merely as a site of past tragedy but as a powerful symbol of resilience, healing, and collective determination. Visitors, residents, security personnel, and authorities share a unified message: peace, warm hospitality, and the timeless allure of Kashmirs landscapes will always prevail over the forces of violence. The April 22, 2025, attack at Baisaran Valley, a popular meadow accessible mainly by pony or on foot and surrounded by dense forests, had sent shockwaves across the country. It has led to a small-scale war between India and Pakistan. Terrorists had targeted tourists enjoying the scenic spot, leading to an immediate exodus, widespread cancellations, and the temporary closure of nearly 50 tourist sites across Jammu and Kashmir for security reviews. The incident severely impacted the local economy, with tourist arrivals in the Kashmir Valley plunging sharply in 2025 to around 11.16 lakh visitors overall, a significant drop from previous years. However, a year later, the narrative has shifted from setback to comeback. Domestic tourists, the backbone of Kashmirs tourism industry, are returning in encouraging numbers. Hotels that once stood eerily quiet are seeing improved occupancy rates, pony operators are guiding eager visitors through blooming meadows once more, and the Lidder River flows peacefully beside families creating fresh memories. Early indicators for 2026 suggest a strong rebound, with projections that visitor numbers could surpass previous records as confidence rebuilds. Our government has taken comprehensive measures to strengthen security across all tourist destinations. Every previously restricted site is now open and operational with enhanced safeguards. We want every visitor to feel safe and welcomed in Kashmir, a senior J&K Government official said. Senior officials in the security establishment said that security arrangements have been significantly upgraded in response to the tragedy. Increased deployment of personnel, additional checkpoints along key routes, advanced surveillance systems, and frequent patrolling have created a visibly reassuring environment, said a senior police officer. Officials credit these steps, combined with successful high-profile events like the AmarnathYatra and the introduction of the Vande Bharat train service, with helping restore traveller confidence. Tourists currently visiting Pahalgam are expressing genuine satisfaction and a sense of security on the ground. Kunal Sharma, a 35-year-old homemaker from Lucknow visiting with his family, shared her experience warmly: We were hesitant initially because of what happened last year, but the visible security presence and arrangements are truly reassuring. The beauty of Pahalgam remains untouchedthe green meadows, fresh air, and warm hospitality make it heartwarming. We feel completely at ease. Coming here is our small way of standing against fear and supporting the local people. The environment feels safe, our children are enjoying pony rides, and the mountain views immensely. Kashmir truly lives up to its paradise reputation. Well be recommending it to all our friends and family back home, said another tourist. Another visitor, Rajesh Kumar from Chandigarh, travelling with a group of friends, said that security measures are professional and non-intrusive. One year on, the spirit of the Phalgam has triumphed. We drove here without worry and are planning a relaxed multi-day stay. Local stakeholders, whose livelihoods depend heavily on tourism, are equally hopeful and appreciative of the returning visitors. A hotelier in Pahalgam with over three decades in the business said that months following the incident were undoubtedly difficult for everyonehotels empty, guides idle, and families worried. But we never lost faith in our guests or in Kashmirs inherent peace-loving nature. Tourists are returning because they trust the people here and see the governments commitment to their safety. This recovery is not just about numbers or economy; its deeply emotional and a victory for humanity over violence. Last year, our ponies stood idle for months, and many families faced real hardship. Now, visitors are once again booking rides to Baisaran and other scenic spots. Families are enjoying the meadows without fear, clicking photos, and savouringkahwa by the streams. Its heartening and gives us renewed energy to serve with the same warmth, said a Pony Walla. Officials point out that while international tourism is recovering gradually, domestic travellers continue to drive the resurgence. Government-led promotional campaigns showcasing Kashmirs unparalleled natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, improved road and rail connectivity, and eco-friendly practices have played a vital role. New initiatives aimed at sustainable tourism, skill development for local youth in hospitality, and spreading visitors to lesser-known destinations are also being rolled out to ensure balanced, long-term growth, officials said.

They will be carrying their unbeaten streak into the next game, where they will face Lucknow Super Giants in Mullanpur. This contest will begin at 7:30 PM IST on Sunday at Maharaja Yadavindra International Cricket Stadium. PBKS have been the best batting side so far, chasing down big totals with ease. LSG have been totally contrasting as they have yet to touch the 190-run mark in the IPL 2026 so far. As a batting group, they have looked tentative, which is why they have lost three games already.

Fans can also switch to the Jio Hotstar app or website for the live stream. PBKS vs LSG Head-to-Head in IPL Total Matches : 06 PBKS : 03 LSG : 03 No - Result : 00 PBKS vs LSG: Ground Pitch Report The wicket in Mullanpur is good for batting, as this wicket produces minimal help for the bowlers. The boundaries are not big, which has been a trend in the franchise league, to encourage the batters to go big. It is a high-scoring venue, and the team that bats well will win. PBKS vs LSG Possible XIs PBKS : Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Cooper Connolly, Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzi Chahal LSG : Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (c), Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran, Abdul Samad, Mukul Choudhary (wk), Md. Shami, Avesh Khan, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Prince Yadav PBKS vs LSG Player to Watch Out For Probable Best Batter Prabhsimran Singh has been the key batter at the top. The way he played against experienced MI bowlers, he will be looking to dominate here as well. For LSG, Mitchell Marsh is someone who can put the bowlers under pressure. Probable Best Bowler Arshdeep bowled a brilliant opening spell against MI, and he is swinging the ball well. For LSG, Mohammed Shami is delivering wicket-taking spells at the top. Today Match Prediction : Punjab Kings are in great form, and we predict them to beat Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday.
