“We have a history of hospitality. In this situation, if there are tourists facing financial issues, they can stay in any of our hotels. All hoteliers have been asked to take very care of outsiders,” Chaya told Kashmir News Service.

Meanwhile, The Kashmir Hotel and Restaurant Association (KHARA) appealed to the tourists who are stranded in Srinagar due to the prevailing warlike situation and also due to closure of airports and Highway to contact them so that they can facilitate their accommodation and food till the situation gets back to normal.
