Premier India: embrace tourism over terrorism

srinagar - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has preferred the youth of Kashmir urgently required development and tourism over terrorism. He did so after the opening of a new tunnel in the northern state of Jammu and Kashmir. The eleven kilometer long liaison, which cost nearly 540 million euros, is important for the digestion of the Kashmir Valley. The highway in this part of the Himalayas is often blocked by avalanches and landslides.

'While young people in Kashmir on the one side were throwing stones, others were busy breaking stones to achieve this tunnel,' Modi said, referring to the unrest prevailing in the region for many years. 'We have plans for nine of these tunnels in the state. Better connections mean more jobs. '

Both India and Pakistan claim Kashmir in its entirety, but now control its own part, as well as China. Since independence from Britain in 1947 has led to much saber rattling. There are secessionist movements active. These presented themselves again Sunday against the visit of Modi. After his speech, there were disturbances.
