Gujjar Unrest and Tourism in Rajasthan
Mangalorean.com reports that the Gujjar unrest is hitting the tourism in Rajasthan.
The situation is grim for tourists who are getting no leads to get out of Jaipur, which remains linked to most of India only by air.
"I came here May 30 with my family. I am trying hard to get out but the situation is hopeless. Even the air fares have gone out of reach of the common people," complains P.R. Rao, a tourist from Hyderabad.
Foreign tourists are faring no better.
"We were to leave for Agra but there are no rail or road links. We are even not getting any airline tickets. The only thing we can do is to stay in the same hotel and wait for the situation to improve. Our entire schedule is disturbed," Felip, who gave only one name and came here from Spain, told IANS.

Ajeya, I have set a google alert for tourism, hence I came across Manglorean News. I am originally from UP :) But I do have a South Indian connection. My husband is from Tamil Nadu.
Yes it is really bad for Rajasthan which is considered for heart of Indian Tourism; Mridula its nice to know that your partner is from TN, which language do you use to communicate?
Pijush, we talk in Hindi as he has stayed for more than 10 years in north whereas I have never been in south for an extended period of time.
All peace and quiet, at least for the time being...
Sidhu, amen to that.
