Pahalgam Hotel Manager Convicted for Failing to Report Stay of Foreign Guests
Anantnag, August 5, KNT: A court in Anantnag has convicted the manager of a hotel in Pahalgam for failing to comply with mandatory reporting requirements relating to the stay of foreign nationals.
The Additional Mobile Magistrate convicted Mohan Lal, manager of Hotel Misty Mountain at Movera, in connection with a case registered at Police Station Pahalgam under the Immigration & Foreigners Act, 2025.

The court sentenced the hotel manager to one day’s imprisonment and imposed a fine of ₹50,000.
