During a pre-event press conference held at SKICC, the Chief Coordinator of the G20 event, Harsh Vardhan Shringla, highlighted the extensive preparations that have taken place in Srinagar.

The sanitation work is carried out in Dal throughout the year. But for the G20 meeting, special attention is being paid to the cleaning of several important places in the lake.

“The 3rd meeting of the Tourism working group in Srinagar will be an opportunity for G20 delegates to see ‘paradise on Earth’,” Harsh Vardhan Shringla said in a tweet.

Delhi's decision to host the G20 meeting in Srinagar has greatly encouraged J&K to outperform itself, a chance to redeem the status before terrorism from across the border ruined it.

In his remarks, J&K's Chief Secretary, Arun Kumar Mehta, highlighted the increasing trend of tourism influx in the region over the past few years, with 1.88 crore tourists visiting Jammu and Kashmir in 2022.

This historic mega-event, taking place in Srinagar under India’s presidency for the first time, is set to showcase the beauty of Kashmir and its vast tourism possibilities on a global scale.

The Kashmir Valley in recent years has witnessed an unprecedented rise in tourism, thanks to the scenic beauty and the culture of the region.
