JAMMU, Dec 23: A delegation of Hotel & Restaurant Association, Katra called on Director Tourism Jammu, Raj Kumar Katoch and apprised him about the negative impact on tourism due to restrictions, confusions and mismanagement at Lakhanpur.
The delegation, led by the Association president Rakesh Wazir, requested the Director for doing efforts to ease the restrictions and streamline the things at the earliest so that J&K may not get wiped out from the Tourism map.
Wazir said that situation at Lakhanpur was that no inter- state bus is allowed to enter J&K and the people taking buses from different parts of country are de boarded at Lakhanpur and are then made to wait for hours and hours together and then are forced to take other vehicles from Lakhanpur to reach Jammu from where they take buses to Katra a
