Srinagar: Following the government order asking tourists and Amarnath pilgrims in the valley to curtail their stay and leave the valley on an immediate basis, thousands of tourists and students scrambled to get places on planes and buses leaving the valley today.

A huge rush was witnessed at various Taxi, bus stands and international Airport in Srinagar as well. Tourists flooded the airport this morning while many of them are complaining of not getting the tickets.

The order issued by the Jammu and Kashmir state government said that tourists should leave the valley immediately because of new intelligence inputs regarding an attack on the Amarnath pilgrims.
