No portals, No community within 150km radius
There are no other players who play the game .
And there are no portals.
I even messaged support but they cannot add a portal .

where are you?
You'll have to travel and level up enough to submit portals (level 10 IIRC?). With the previous version of the game, now known as REDACTED, we could submit portals anywhere in the world, and there were a number of people helping with that, but it's clamped down in Prime. I believe Niantic said they were working on something for areas in your situation, but who knows where that is now, or if it's even remembered.
Until then, give your general location and maybe someone might decide to go take a trip in your area and submit a few things?
Outside of that, you're screwed.
I agree with @ArtilectZed. Apart from during the pandemic, Ingress players travel all over. If you name your town, someone visiting the area might be able to make a detour to submit some portals for you.
Niantic should open exceptions for players in this situation, allowing them to submit proposals at lv1 if portal density is too low. Or at least open a online form to sent it manually on a browser.
Try using the intel to find the nearest portal & player's log and contact the owner/discoverer of the portal or the player who appeared in log. Also according to the username I guess you can specifically search for Indian communities in the recruitment subgroup.
try local pokemon go groups on facebook, search for nearest town like pokemon go new york city, and ask someone if they can submit anything valid maybe ?
kashmir, Srinagar
Nobody play's Pokemon go or ingress around here. I tried everything.
Nobody plays pogo here because there are no pokestops or gyms.
When they realize mall the money they're losing, then maybe they will do something about.
Your only solution is asking on th comm and hope for the beat, learn as much as you can and go for a trip on a big city and rush your level up to 10. It's not a easy job, but you can ask for help on comm and the local player might help you to speed it up.
Best option best bet is to contact players in Islamabad, to help you. either pogo or ingress.
How can they help me?
There will likely be a L110 player, who can travel to your region to nominate wayspots,
Islamabad is the biggest region near you, which is likely to guarantee active players
International travel is barred .
Looks like you would have to travel across borders anyway, as there is a massive BAF covering your city
What is BAF?
BAF
Big Augmented Field
Here is the Intel. Link to your region
https://intel.ingress.com/intel? ll=31.911541,72.752972&z=8
As you can see, your country is under a field, which requires international travel or getting into the local community that can organise to take it down
Or I can start spoofing .
Bruh it's ok to have thoughts about spoofing but saying out loud would be a bad idea. But, considering the heavy spoofer traffic around the Himalayas (the link above your head was made by a player that travels at the speed of 17999.61km/h (14.693 mach) according to Intel map) and the time it usually takes for Niantic to take down spoofers, I doubt if anything else would be practical to clear the field above you in short term. Still I won't recommend you to take down fields by spoofing because the field does you no harm if you don't even have portals nearby. Plus it's against ToS. Also other spoofers can build it back whenever they want to.
But for spoofing to submit portals...I really don't know. I haven't heard about portals discovered by spoofers getting taken down.
P.S. you actually have portals nearby. There are 7 portals near Srinagar
Hassi Bhat
Rainawari
Hazuri Bagh
Sonwar
Drachh Bagh
Lasjan
Pantha Chowk
We are locked inside our homes because of corona virus.
The above portals are atleat 5 km apart from each other .
So, i cannot go out or even reach these portals with drone.
If you're in lockdown, stop worrying about any Niantic games. All of them require you to leave your house.
Find another game to have fun.
That is a difficult problem. I don't know the current situation, but apart from coronavirus I guess there isn't much tourism to Kashmir these days from India because of political unrest?
Nevertheless, it it worth trying to get in contact with the India community for your faction. Are you Resistance or are you Enlightened?
I suggest you also raise this issue on Niantic's Wayfarer forum at https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/ the solution would be in their area rather than internal to Ingress.
That's a map of the portals in the region. However, if you can't leave your house to play... Ingress is not a game you can play from the couch. I would suggest spending time in Candy Crush or Clash of Clans etc, until the lockdown is lifted.
Now is not the time to be venturing out in India.
I am the only player in that region.
All the portals were nominated by visitors and they are far from me .
The one captured by resistance is me .
You don't expect me to walk 50km per day?
You don't need to be rude. That's how the game is designed to be play and that's what you have to play for now.
Niantic probably won't open any exception just for you.
All you can do is ask at comm and hope for the best, or go out to a big city and play there until you're able to nominate new proposals.
I am not being rude .
I am just asking a question.
If you create a game you would want to give everyone a fair gameplay.
Nobody in PUBG jumps with a gun from airplane, that is fair gameplay.
This isn't an individual problem that requires an exception, it's a global problem than needs a global fix.
A nice solution would be for low level players to be able to feed nominations into a holding area and generous high level players with spare nomination slots could look at them and remote submit ones they think are acceptable.

This game will never be fair sadly, pokemon has same problem, outside big cities u dont find many portals... its up to the players to submit portals and hope they will be accepted in those rural areas....
