Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather Pushes for Urgent Reopening of Yousmarg; Assures Rapid Fix for ATM & Internet Issues
Citing the livelihood of thousands of local stakeholders, the MLA Charar-i-Sharief confirms ongoing talks with district administration and service providers to revive tourist activities.
NAGBAL (BUDGAM): Underlining the urgent need to sustain the local economy, Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly Speaker and MLA for Charar-i-Sharief, Abdul Rahim Rather, has called upon the authorities to reopen the scenic health resort of Yousmarg without delay.
Interacting with media representatives at Nagbal, Rather expressed deep concern over the prevailing shutdown of the destination, pointing out that thousands of families in the surrounding belt depend entirely on tourism-related operations for their day-to-day survival.
“A vast section of local stakeholders—including pony service operators, hoteliers, small kiosk owners, and tea stall vendors—are facing severe economic distress due to the continued closure of Yousmarg. The destination must resume operations immediately to safeguard their livelihoods,” Rather stated.
