Srinagar, Nov 25 : Punjab Governor and Administrator of UT Chandigarh, Gulab Chand Kataria said on Tuesday that tourist confidence in Kashmir will fully return and the tourism sector will rise again.
During his visit to Lal Chowk in Srinagar, Kataria said the area carries a historic place in India’s journey. He said hoisting the national flag at Lal Chowk was once seen as a major challenge.
