Jammu and Kashmir Police rescued three tourists from Affarwat mountains, upper reaches of north Kashmir’s Gulmarg last night, officials said on Thursday
A police officer said that Baramulla police swung into action after receiving information last night that some tourists were stuck at Affarwat as they lost their way back to Gondola.
Upon this, a police party was immediately deputed and the tourists who were identified as Raju, Ananya and Bhardwaj, all residents of Hyderabad, were rescued.
The tourists said that police’s swift response saved them.
“We had gone towards Gondola on foot and completely lost our way. We called SHO Gulmarg and a police team reached in no time and rescued us,” one of tourists said while being flanked by two others.
Without the police help we would not have been able to return safely and we thank police wholeheartedly, he added.
