Srinagar, April 22: In the wake of the continued closure of the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, the Travel Agents Association of Kashmir (TAAK) has called upon the government to urgently facilitate the airlifting of stranded tourists who are facing immense hardships due to the disruption in surface transport.
