"The Directorate of Tourism, Kashmir, has clarified that its website www.Jktourism.Org was hacked few days ago and some of its contents were destroyed," a spokesperson of the department said.
He said that the investigation into the matter is underway and further necessary safety measures to protect the content are being taken.
The explanation came after a tender notice was posted on the department's website inviting suppliers to deliver laptops and other equipment to Quad-e-Azam University in Pakistan's capital of Islamabad.
