Based on a government order reviewed by Reuters, more than half of the tourist destinations in the Kashmir region have been closed to the public from Tuesday in a bid to tighten security after last week’s attack on holiday-makers.

Officials confirmed that 48 out of 87 designated tourist spots across the Kashmir Valley have been closed indefinitely, with no date given for their reopening. Security has also been greatly increased at the remaining open sites, as the region braces for further unrest.
