G-20 delegates tour Srinagar city in an attempt to see ‘changed Kashmir situation’

From the famous Mughal Gardens to the popular Royal Spring Golf Course to the all-pedestrian Polo View Market in commercial hub Lal Chowk, the foreign delegates, who attended the third G20 tourism working group meeting in Srinagar, were allowed to have the flavour of the city on Wednesday, in a bid by the authorities to showcase the “changing ground situation” in Kashmir.

Around 60 foreign delegates from 27 countries started a city tour after a yoga session in the morning. They visited the famous Mughal gardens on the Dal Lake, including Mughal Prince Dara Shikoh-constructed Pari Mahal. Several delegates teed off on the lush green fairways of the Royal Spring Golf Course at the foothills of the Zabarwan hills. The delegates were seen taking selfies at these gardens.

“It was a fantastic and memorable visit. I love being in Srinagar. I hope people come and enjoy scenic beauty and the film tourism prosper in Kashmir,” Chang Jae-Bok, South Korean Ambassador to India, said.
