Jammu: The lockdown in view of the threats of COVID-19 undoubtedly has brought lots of crisis for the tourism sector as the fully bloomed Tulip Garden at Sanasar in Jammu and Kashmir is not witnessing any visitors these days.
According to sources, the Tulip garden in Sanasar belt of Udhampur is one of the most scenic locations and prominent tourist destinations but due to lockdown, this year's blooming tulips will be seeing no visitors and the beautiful flowers will remain unnoticed.
"Likewise every year also, we have beautiful high breed Tulip flowers in full bloom at Sanasar but unfortunately, due to lockdown we will not be receiving the number of visitors at the location," a local said.
"Every year we used to receive many visitors at this place and in the past few years especially after Tulip garden came to existence, tourist footfall increased manifold. We are wishing that the world soon comes out of the Covid-19 crisis and next year again tourists start visiting Sanasar," he added.
Sanasar in Jammu and Kashmir is a beautiful location. The local population whose livelihood was based on the tourism sector were hopeful that the damage would be compensated with the advent of spring season but now COVID-19 lockdown has played a spoilsport, sources added.
