The inaugural International Film Festival of Jammu & Kashmir (IFFJK) wrapped up after four remarkable days, marking a new chapter for Jammu & Kashmir. With floating cinema screenings, the event brought timeless classics back to Dal Lake while showcasing diverse international films, alongside new releases featuring high profile Bollywood actors. Beyond its picture-perfect settings, IFFJK focused on helping young local talent grow. The festival offered hands-on learning for aspiring writers, filmmakers, and actors, firmly placing J&K on the map of the national & global film industry. Reflecting on the event, the Chief Minister called the festival a clear declaration of intent. Powered by the J&K Film Policy, he shared that J&K is eager to welcome filmmakers from all parts of the country and the world, with plans to build a strong, year-round film ecosystem that supports visiting film-makers and local talent alike.

Amid ongoing debates around reservation & regional imbalance in J&K, an important development deserves attention. Nearly 45% of the sportspersons selected for government jobs under the Outstanding Sportspersons Recruitment Rules belong to #Kashmir Division 🧵

The extension of Vande Bharat Express between Srinagar and Jammu is a welcome step for seamless connectivity. However, without a halt in Anantnag a large population will miss out on its benefits. Authorities must consider a stop in the area to ensure inclusive access for all.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Prof. Abdul Gani Bhat. I have known him for long. He was an eminent figure in J & K’s political landscape, remembered for his humility, intellect, and lifelong struggle for the welfare of people. His loss leaves a void that will be deeply felt.

#DIPRFactCheck *Clarification on Recent Video Circulation Regarding Construction Dispute* It has come to our attention that a video is being circulated on social media platforms with the caption suggesting that a family is being prevented from building a house on their own land. We wish to clarify the actual situation to avoid any misunderstanding and misinformation. The incident in the video is being blown out of proportion. The issue is not about a family being barred from constructing their house on their private property. Instead, the situation arose from a minor dispute between two neighbors over the use of approximately 3 Marlas of state land. This portion of land was being used for private parking by the parties involved. The conflict emerged when one party attempted to erect a boundary wall on this state land, which the other party objected to, leading to a heated exchange. Upon being informed, the civil and police administration promptly reached the spot, mediated between the parties, and resolved the matter amicably on the spot. We urge the public to verify information before sharing it on social media to prevent the spread of inaccurate narratives that can lead to unnecessary concern : Distt administration Anantnag @OfficeOfLGJandK @DDNewslive @airnewsalerts @PIBSrinagar @CBCJammuKashmir @DCAnantnag
