SRINAGAR, Oct. 8 -- Describing the lifting of an advisory which had dissuaded tourists from visiting Kashmir valley as "half hearted initiative", the National Conference on Tuesday asked how can holiday makers venture into the Valley, reeling under a communication blockade and breakdown of economic activity.
