Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
Many tourists from Marathwada visited Jammu and Kashmir, but now they are returning home. The picnic spots are quiet, and though tourists are safe, they report a tense atmosphere. Some are staying in hotels, while others are uneasy despite being far from Pahalgam. The number of visitors at the spots has decreased. The regional administration is collecting tourist information through local disaster management departments.
