Authorities in Indian-controlled Kashmir have temporarily shuttered more than half of the tourist resorts in the scenic Himalayan region following a deadly attack on tourists.

Based on a government order reviewed by Reuters, more than half of the tourist destinations in the Kashmir region have been closed to the public from Tuesday in a bid to tighten security after last week's attack on holiday-makers.

Following a recent terror attack in Pahalgam, the Jammu and Kashmir government has reportedly closed 48 tourist destinations across the Kashmir Valley
