Traders, hotel owners and other workers were happy to see tourists here. They were, however, complaining about the prevailing mess in the form of vehicular traffic jams on the way to the hill stations mostly in Main Chowk Ganderbal and Kangan due to which frequent traffic jams were witnessed. Locals blamed the local government, saying that road widening was to be completed before last years Amarnath Yatra but it is still incomplete. Meanwhile, no tourist is allowed to go forward from Gagengeir to Sonamarg, officials told The Kashmir Pulse.
