Members of the Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Alliance (JKTA) have said that J&K has recorded ‘zero’ percent crime against women and it is a safe destination for tourists.

As per the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), there was no crime against solo women travellers in the State, and Kashmir is a peaceful place, said JKTA chairman Manzoor A. Pakhtoon.

Addressing reporters here on Monday, he said political conflict in Kashmir would not hamper the spirit of millions of tourists, and the impact of the incidents on J&K borders on tourism was less than one percent.

J&K Tourism Development Authority (JKTDA) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Nagendra Singh Jamwal said the Lord Venkateswara temple being established by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) would add a feather to the pilgrimage tourism in J&K.
