 The current economic crisis, a by-product of the COVID-19 induced lockdowns, has brought economic activities to a standstill in India. But for Kashmiris, the lockdown had started much before the pandemic. In the abbreviation of articles 370 and 35A of the constitution, on August 5, 2019, the central government had put the state under an indefinite curfew, resulting in the collapse of its crucial tourism sector. The lockdown began in March 2020, and the work began to be done. The common masses here are travelling a lot, because we totally depend on tourism, and we don't have any source of income. Since COVID-19, at least 2-3 years ago, no one has come here. Now, 2-3 days have passed, and the locals have come empty-handed. We don't have any work to do. The locals don't have any work to do. The government had given us Rs.1000 to Vasant for Rs.1000. But in that Rs.1000, what will be the expenses? Will there be a fair or a home expenses? It's been 3 years, 3rd year, no work, no tourism. We don't have any expenses to pay for the children. You know how much the expenses are for the children. If we have to pay for the children, then how much are the expenses for them at home? That was the time of the day. Thank God, that was the time of the day. So, there is no problem now. Due to countless lockdowns, the commercial drivers are badly hit, and they see a huge challenge to pay the monthly installments of loans. That they have taken to buy their vehicles. The people working in tourism sector feel completely let down by the government in Jammu and Kashmir. There is no problem at home. When there is nothing at home, where will they get it from? There is a bank of the government. The bankers don't even listen to us. We have to pay them as well. When the bank is open, we get a letter saying, Whatever the government had said that we will get a income in Kakaz, we will not get a penny. As far as I am concerned, the hotel is empty. I run my own travel company as well. There used to be a lot of bookings, foreigners used to come and take them to the trekking. When the borders are closed, foreigners can't come here. There is no such situation. It is politically disturbed here. That is why we have to travel a lot. Since Covid-19 has come, we have to travel a lot because of Covid-19. We can also say that since 2016, we are in complete loss. The government didn't help us at all. We had appealed to the government many times to help our transport. But nothing happened.
