Ahmedabad: Operation Sindoor may have struck terrorist targets across the border, but it has also shaken up vacation plans back home. The aftermath of the Indian military's action in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) has triggered flight shutdowns, trip cancellations, and a wave of uncertainty in the tourism sector. Tour operators, who were banking on the peak travel season, say this is the worst May they have seen in especially to popular northern destinations, is taking a direct hit.
