The condition of the smokeless industry, already on the ventilator due to extension of train service from Jammu to Katra has worsened further due to engulfing impact of COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns.

Budget hotel industry already on its last breath, would unable to sustain the attack of corona pandemic and has started collapsing because of poor business and zero support from the government. At this critical juncture, dying hotel industry needs hand holding by the government for their survival and appeals to exempt the starving hotel industry from various government charges/fees like electricity, water, usage charges, etc.till J&K UT becomes Covid free Gupta further added that Government instead of giving any financial relief package to hotel industry, has made the registration/renewal of hotels and lodges complicated and appeals to government to relax and simplify registration/renewal process in case of surviving hotels and lodges, already destroyed by Covid pandemic.
