A year after tragedy, Pahalgam slowly returns to life

Pahalgam, Apr 21:A year after a tragedy brought life here to a standstill, the sound of footsteps has returned to Pahalgam - soft at first, but steady enough to signal change. Markets are lit again, pony hooves echo along familiar trails, and small groups of tourists pause to take in the snow-clad peaks and cool spring air. Along the banks of the Lidder River, visitors sit quietly, soaking in the calm. We just sat by the river for hours. There is a strange peace here. It makes you forget everything else, said Ratnesh Kumar, 40, a tourist from Uttar Pradesh. On April 22 last year, a deadly terror attack in the Baisran meadows, about 6 km from the main market, left 25 tourists dead and a local pony operator, leaving behind grief that rippled across Kashmir and beyond. In the months that followed, the famed resort fell silent. Hotels emptied, bookings vanished, and livelihoods tied to tourism collapsed almost overnight. For six months, there was nothing here, said Ismail, a pony handler, gently steadying his horse. Not a single visitor. Now even a few tourists feel like hope returning. That hope, though fragile, is visible. Visitors have begun to trickle back, moving through the market and venturing to Aru Valley and Betaab Valley, destinations that had remained closed for over two months after the attack. Baisran meadows, however, remains shut. Many tourists say it is the people, as much as the place, that has brought them here. We dont feel scared, said Pankaj, a visitor from Maharashtra traveling with his family. Everyone, from drivers to shopkeepers has been incredibly kind. There is a sense of care everywhere. Shradha, visiting from Kolkata with her family, said the warmth feels personal. People dont just serve you here, they look out for you, she said. You can feel the sincerity. Even those who recall the tragedy say their experience has reshaped their perception. Yes, what happened was heartbreaking, Shradha said. But places like Pahalgam need people to come back. The way locals have welcomed us makes us feel at home. For business owners, each arriving visitor carries meaning beyond numbers. We are offering Kehwa and snacks, free, said Sabzar Ahmad, who runs a restaurant in the town. This is our way of telling tourists they are safe, that they are wanted here. Some locals even opened their homes in the aftermath of the attack, offering shelter and reassurance to stranded visitors. Hotels, though no longer empty, are still far from full. Bookings are around 30 percent compared to last year, said hotelier Ibrahim Raina. But the important thing is that people are returning. We are doing everything to make them feel secure. For many residents, the revival is not just economic; it is deeply personal. Kashmiris are known for their hospitality, said Umar Wani, a local resident. Violence is not who we are. We want the world to see our real face. Crowds remain thin, the pace slower, and memories fresh. But in Pahalgam, even the smallest return - a conversation, a cup of kehwa, a pony ride through the valley feels like a step forward. A year after the trafedy, the town is slowly returning to life.

Chronic Pain Is Not Normal

Pain is the bodys natural warning system. But what happens when that warning never switches off? Chronic pain defined as pain lasting more than 6 months is a medical condition in its own right, one that affects physical health emotional well being and overall quality of life. Yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and undertreated health problems. Data from India highlights the magnitude of the problem. A meta analysis suggests that nearly 1 in 4 adults (27%) may be affected by chronic pain. Women are more commonly affected than men and prevalence increases sharply between 45 to 65 years of age the most productive years of life. As a trainee in pain medicine i often meet patients who have been living with pain for years. Many have accepted it as part of life. Others have been told directly or indirectly, that nothing more can be done.This is not only incorrect it is harmful. Understanding Chronic Pain Chronic pain can arise from various conditions..spine disorders, nerve injuries, arthritis, cancer, post surgical complications and chronic pelvic pain syndromes, among others. Unlike acute pain which serves a protective role, chronic pain persists beyond healing and often involves complex changes in the nervous system. If left untreated it can lead to central sensitization, resulting in fatigue, sleep disturbances, anxiety, depression and reduced ability to work or carry out daily activities. The impact is not just theoretical. Studies show that 63% of patients report severe chronic pain and nearly 32% lose at least 4 hours of work within three months due to pain. This reflects not only personal suffering but also a significant socioeconomic burden. Why Awareness Matters One of the biggest challenges in managing chronic pain is lack of awareness. Patients often move from one doctor to another, undergoing repeated tests and treatments without a clear diagnosis or long term plan. Many rely heavily on painkillers which may provide temporary relief but do not address the root cause and can sometimes lead to unwanted side effects. In India nearly 68% of patients depend on over the counter medications and up to 95% use NSAIDs, often without specialist supervision. This highlights a major treatment gap and the underutilization of dedicated pain management services. It is important to understand that effective pain management is available and suffering in silence is not the only option. What Does Modern Pain Management Offer? Pain medicine is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating complex pain conditions. Management is not limited to medications. It includes a range of evidence based approaches such as: Image guided nerve blocks for targeted pain relief Radiofrequency procedures for longer-lasting results Neuromodulation techniques for difficult to treat pain Rehabilitation and physiotherapy Psychological support to address the emotional impact of chronic pain The goal is to reduce pain intensity along with functional improvement, restore independence, and enhance quality of life. When Should You Seek Help? You should consider consulting a pain specialist if: Pain persists beyond a few weeks to months It interferes with sleep, work, or daily activities You require frequent or increasing doses of pain medications Previous treatments have not provided adequate relief Early intervention can prevent pain from becoming more complex and difficult to treat. The Way Forward There is a clear need to improve awareness about chronic pain and its management. Healthcare systems must integrate dedicated pain services and more doctors should be trained in this field. Equally important is educating patients that chronic pain is real, treatable and deserves proper medical attention. Chronic pain should not be accepted as a way of life. Seeking correct and timely medical advice is the first step toward reclaiming control, restoring function and improving quality of life.
