No impact of incursion on tourism: CM

Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Apr 26: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said the Chinese incursion in Ladakh region should not be linked with tourism in Leh as the Chinese troops were very far from the town.
“Can we please not link the Chinese incursion to Tourism in the region. The Chinese troops are too far to bother any tourists coming to Leh,” Omar wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter.Com.
Omar said referring to the Chinese incursion and tourists together created doubts in the minds of potential tourists intending to visit Ladakh.
“When we use the words ‘Chinese troops’ and ‘tourists’ in the same sentence, we create doubts where none existed,” he added.
