While travelling frequently on the Srinagar–Anantnag–Kulgam–Qazigund National Highway, it is deeply distressing to see ambulances stranded, students missing classes and ordinary citizens waiting 15–30 minutes, sometimes even hours, for convoy movement. What fault have our people committed to endure such hardships? I earnestly appeal to @OfficeOfLGJandK @manojsinha_ Sb and the concerned authorities to explore practical traffic management measures that uphold essential security protocols while ensuring uninterrupted passage for ambulances and minimising public inconvenience. Security is paramount, but so is the well- being of our people. Security and compassion must go hand in hand. Let governance be reflected not just in policies, but in the everyday lives of citizens through dignity, sensitivity and meaningful relief.

Art 370 was never an "IMPOSITION". It was part of the Constituition which mirrored the mutually agreed Instrument of Accession signed between Maharaja Hari Singh, erstwhile ruler of J&K and the Union of India. Both parties took around 6 months to reach to a concensus on IOA.
And yet some leaders & parties repeatedly demanded restoration of Article 370. Parties in J&K may have vested political interests but mainstream national parties? Defies logic. Nothing justified Article 370 imposition in the first place & nothing justifies seeking its restoration

The Deputy Chief Minister is from Jammu, the Tribal Minister is from Jammu. Meanwhile how many Muslims does the BJP have in its cabinet? We are not the BJP. Relax.
Cabinet Expansion or Cabinet of Exceptions? FROM TODAY, J&K CM OMAR ABDULLAH CABINET WILL HAVE NO REPRESENTATION FROM JAMMU. Four new ministers have been inducted, all from the Kashmir Valley. Meanwhile, Jammu-based minister Satish Sharma has been dropped. Voters of Jammu being punished for overwhelmingly voting for BJP? Doesn't the latest expansion deepen the regional imbalance?

“No one is thinking about the promises made to the public.” Does that include the promise of restoring statehood to J&K made 7 years back? Or are you all too busy tweeting to remember the commitments made to the people?
*JKNC Govt Ready for Cabinet Expansion - But At What Cost?* What looks like an expansion from the outside is actually a story of collapse from the inside. The JKNC Government, a group of looters and scammers, is battling heavy infighting. Sources say several MLAs and Ministers are unhappy and ready to resign any moment. There is chaos within the party and chaos within the Govt. No one is thinking about governance. No one is thinking about the promises made to the public. All they care about is one thing - themselves. Their chair, their power, their wealth. They have completely forgotten the people of Jammu & Kashmir who stood in long queues and voted for them hoping for change. For them, public service is just a business of looting. This is not a Cabinet Expansion. This is a Loot Expansion.

The successful conclusion of the 3rd edition of the Kashmir Marathon in Srinagar marks another significant milestone in Jammu and Kashmir’s journey towards becoming a premier destination for sports, tourism and international events. With over 2,000 runners, including participants from 12 countries, competing in the full and half marathons for a total prize purse of ₹3.17 crore, the event showcased Kashmir’s growing appeal on the global sporting map. The scenic route, winding past Dal Lake, majestic Chinar trees, the Zabarwan mountains and historic Lal Chowk, offered participants a memorable experience of Kashmir’s breathtaking autumn beauty. Alongside initiatives such as the new Chrysanthemum Garden, events like the Kashmir Marathon are helping extend the tourist season, strengthen the local economy and create new opportunities for hoteliers, transporters, artisans and other tourism stakeholders. The visiting athletes will also carry home enduring memories of Kashmir’s beauty, warmth and hospitality, becoming ambassadors for our tourism. Over 1,200 local runners, supported by a dedicated ₹25 lakh prize category for J&K athletes took part in the Marathon. Competing alongside international athletes will inspire our young sporting talent to aim higher. The enthusiastic participation of children, senior citizens and para-athletes also reflected the inclusive spirit of the event. The successful hosting of this international sporting event underscores Jammu and Kashmir’s growing capacity to host major national and global events, further strengthening its position as a destination of global sporting excellence.

Before questioning @nasirsogami 's contribution remember Arun Jaitley never won a Lok Sabha election yet served as Finance Minister. Nirmala Sitharaman has also never won a LS election, yet holds the same portfolio. So is winning an election the only qualification for public service? Nasir Sogami has dedicated 32 years to the NC and won the 2008 Assembly election his contribution is not parachute politics. And you? Until yesterday you were criticising the BJP today critics accuse you of changing sides for a security vehicle. How many elections have you won yourself? Apply the same standards to everyone before lecturing others.
One can’t win an Assembly seat, another can’t even win a municipal ward, yet they are deciding who gets a Cabinet berth in @OmarAbdullah’s government. Omar, you’re done, bro! Pack your bags.

Lula is an extraordinarily charismatic leader but success of Workers Party (PT) in 21st century Brazil (held power last 18/24 yrs) can also be a model for organization of left-of-centre parties in global South, including India. Wrote about it before. telegraphindia.com/amp/opini…
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
