Pahalgam House Committee Seeks Trade, Tourism Revival After Attack
Imagine a group of important people from the government visiting a beautiful place called Pahalgam.
They went there because some bad guys hurt people and made tourists scared to visit.
These important people talked to the locals to learn how things have changed.
The locals explained that many people lost their jobs because tourists stopped coming.
The officials said they would write letters to other important people to try and fix things, like helping businesses and making the place safe again.
The visitors also talked about how floods and a closed road made things even harder.
They promised to help and want to make things better for everyone.
