Gulistan News | Srinagar | June 09:

A delegation of eight Judges from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, along with their families, is currently on a visit to the Kashmir Valley, sending a strong and positive signal about the region’s hospitality, peace, and tourism potential.

The visiting judges—Justice Vinod S. Bharadwaj, Justice Pankaj Jain, Justice Jasjit Singh Bedi, Justice Nidhi Gupta, Justice Harkesh Manuja, Justice Aman Choudhary, Justice N.S. Shekawat, and Justice Vikram Aggarwal—are exploring some of the most iconic locations in Srinagar and beyond.

Their tour includes visits to the picturesque Mughal Gardens of Shalimar and Nishat, a serene shikara ride on Dal Lake, the historic Pari Mahal, and an engaging walk through the bustling Polo View Market.

This high-profile visit comes at a crucial time, following the recent Pahalgam incident that had momentarily impacted travel sentiment. However, the dignitaries’ presence in the Valley is being widely appreciated as a step toward reviving confidence among potential travelers.

Local tourism stakeholders—hoteliers, guides, and artisans—are already seeing a positive trend, with a noticeable increase in bookings and tourist inquiries.

Speaking during the visit, Justice Vikram Aggarwal expressed satisfaction with the arrangements and commended the peaceful atmosphere. He encouraged people across the country to experience Kashmir’s unparalleled beauty and warm hospitality.

Tourism players view the judges’ visit as a morale booster and a strong statement that Kashmir remains a safe and attractive destination for both domestic and international travelers.

As Kashmir continues to enchant visitors with its natural splendor and cultural charm, such visits by eminent personalities are playing a key role in restoring global faith in the Valley as a premier tourism hub.
