The top army officer said that separatists hardly enjoy any support in Kashmir and people are very happy in the Valley.
“Everywhere you go, you don’t find rooms available in hotels because of the tourist influx. There is an increase in tourist footfall across the valley and besides various cultural programmes are being conducted which is a positive sign of a peaceful situation. We should keep on praying to the Almighty that the situation remains peaceful so that people see prosperity,” he added.
