Srinagar, May 28 -- The Jammu and Kashmir cabinet on Tuesday held a meeting at the southern tourist resort of Pahalgam, which was the target of the April 22 terror attack. Chief minister Omar Abdullah, who chaired the meeting, said it was aimed at sending a message of resilience. This was for first time that the cabinet met outside the summer capital Srinagar winter capital Jammu since the National Conference (NC) formed the government last year. In the terror attack at the Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam on April 22, at least 26 people, 25 tourists and a local, were killed and scores injured. Immediately after the attack, there was an exodus of tourists from the Valley and the tourism sector has been gasping for a breath since. The chief minister's office said the meeting's aim was to send a clear message that they won't be intimidated by acts of terror. "Chaired a cabinet meeting at Pahalgam today. It was not just a routine administrative exercise, but a clear message-we are not intimidated by cowardly acts of terror. The enemies of peace will never dictate our resolve. Jammu & Kashmir stands firm, strong and unafraid," the CM's office said in a post on X. Addressing a press conference, Omar said holding a cabinet meeting in Pahalgam was not just to fulfil the function of government or administrative work. "We are here to convey that despite violence and bloodshed, our agenda of progress and happiness in J&K won't stop," Omar said. "We want to salute and thank the people of Kashmir, particularly Pahalgam, for the way they reacted, showed courage and raised their voice against violence after the April 22 attack," he said. Omar said they will strive to overcome this period and hoped for support from the Centre. Omar has also called a meeting of all ministers, administrative secretaries, Kashmir divisional commissioner, directors of various departments and senior police officers from the Valley in Gulmarg on May 28. In the evening, Omar, with minimal security, pedalled to Pahalgam markets to instil a sense of security among the people. He was accompanied by his adviser Nasir Wani and one of his sons. Omar said the government will reopen 48 tourist destinations, closed after the Pahalgam attack, in a phased manner. The chief minister said that there is a need to review each of these locations and schools and colleges will be exhorted to take students here for picnics after reopening. Soon after the Pahalgam attack, the government had closed or restricted access to over 40 meadows, trekking routes, hilly areas, parks and gardens. The destinations included Doodhpathri and Yousmarg in central Kashmir, Bungus valley in north Kashmir, Daksum, Sinthan top and some gardens in south Kashmir and a few prominent places in Srinagar. Omar announced that the government will build a memorial at Baisaran in Pahalgam in memory of the 26 victims of terror attack. He said suggestions will be sought to ensure that the memorial is magnificent, dignified and respectful. "We have been discussing this from day one... a memorial will be set up in Baisaran for the 26 innocent lives lost, as a lasting tribute and a reminder that they will never be forgotten," the chief minister said....
