Srinagar, Sep 14

The first ever national convention of wedding and event planners concluded on Sunday in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar city, officials said.

Officials added that Kashmir hosted its first ever national convention of wedding and event planners under the title 'Hindustan 2025', organised by ICEI International Events.

"The two-day event was held at the Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC) and it marked a milestone for the valley's emerging event industry."

"The International Convention of the Event Industry was presided over by President Rituraj Khanna, with Gunjan Singhal serving as Chairperson and Irshad Hazari as Convention Director."

The convention was formally inaugurated by the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

"Day one featured detailed industry sessions followed by a grand wedding showcase at SKICC, where leading event professionals presented new concepts and trends."

"On the second day, the convention concluded with a closing ceremony presided over by Farooq Abdullah, President of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference."

"Delegates from across India participated in the convention, gaining both professional insights and cultural experiences during their stay in the valley. Organisers said the event not only highlighted Kashmir as a potential hub for the wedding and event industry but also provided a platform for networking and knowledge exchange."

"The convention was coordinated by Irshad Hazari of Euphoria Travel Services, who ensured seamless arrangements and a memorable experience for all participants," officials said.

Kashmir is fast picking up as the dream destination for weddings and other events those are being planned in Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam.

Kashmir Tourism suffered its worst jolt on April 22 when Pakistan-backed terrorists of Lashkar-e-Toiba killed 26 innocent civilians in Baisaran meadow of Pahalgam.

The incident outraged the entire nation.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a free hand to the armed forces to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack.

In target specific strikes were carried out against terror infrastructure in Muridke near Lahore, Bahawalpur and Kotli and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK), Indian armed forces destroyed nine terror sites.

In tensions later escalated by Pakistan, 18 of their defence bases were damaged.

While I appreciate the development, we must not forget the security concerns. The Pahalgam attack was devastating. Hope the government ensures proper security arrangements for such large events. Safety first!

Great initiative! Kashmir's natural beauty is unmatched for destination weddings. The government should promote this aggressively. After the tough times, tourism revival is crucial for the local economy. Jai Hind!

The article mentions both development and security challenges - this balanced approach is good. Our armed forces are doing great work ensuring peace. With proper security, Kashmir can become India's Switzerland for weddings!
