J&K’s Public Works Department plans a new Srinagar-Pahalgam route via Khrew and Tral, cutting travel by 30 km and boosting tourism. Raised in the Assembly by MLA Hasnain Masoodi, the project aims to improve accessibility and create jobs. The Rs 711 million ($8.5M) project has two sections: Wahab Sahib-Pastuna (8 km, Rs 270M) and Tral-Pahalgam (Rs 441M), both requiring forest clearance. DPRs are complete, but progress depends on environmental approvals and funding, promising economic growth for Tral’s scenic landscapes.
