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

Just last week, terrorists attacked tourists in Baisaran, known as 'mini Switzerland' for its meadows. It is the deadliest strike in the Kashmir Valley since the 2019 Pulwama strike.

Intelligence reports suggest that terrorists are planning targeted killings and a larger attack in retaliation for the destruction of terrorists' houses following last week's Pahalgam strikes.
