Overview
- Mufti called for the immediate reopening of the Bijbehara–Langanbal–Pahalgam route and other shut attractions, saying the closures have gone on too long.
- She named Chandanwari, Baisaran and Deer Park as still closed, saying the shutdowns cut income for pony handlers, resort workers and small businesses.
- She said the restrictions discourage visitors, who often leave early, and leave people who built resorts along the route facing heavy losses.
- She vowed to push a bill to raise private‑school teachers’ pay and pressed for regular status for long‑serving daily‑wage and contract workers across key departments.
- The closures began after a deadly attack in Baisaran last year that killed 25 tourists and a pony operator, and the administration has not announced when the remaining sites will reopen.
