J&K CM Omar Abdullah Sahab says he’s running a "hybrid government," but the people of J&K gave a historic, one-sided mandate to end the political vacuum and dismantle bureaucratic rule. So why no cabinet expansion yet? Why is power still concentrated in the hands of just a few?

Happy Birthday, Arif Amin From the classroom benches to the chaos of the working world, you’ve always been the junior by age but in strength, in character, in quiet wisdom, you’ve led far beyond your years. I’ve watched you grow with a kind of calm resilience that few possess.

Reservation in J&K isn’t social justice, it’s political exploitation.🚫 Why punish merit to fuel division? The youth deserve equal opportunity, not lifelong crutches. Time to end quota raj & rationalize reservation. #EndReservation #jammuandkashmir #reservation #merit

The stench from areas adjoining Achan garbage landfill spreading across the city, is making the life of residents living in these area unbearable! Over 11 lakh metric tonnes of legacy waste lie rotting there, with 550 tonnes dumped daily. It’s a full-blown public health and

Awantipora canal from Pahalgam to Pulwama irrigates 5,000 hectares of paddy cultivation and is a lifeline for farmers. However, it is currently cut off due to a canal collapse at Waghama, Bijbehara Sangam. This urgent issue requires immediate repair to prevent drought-like

Solid waste dumping sites are emerging as new disease hotspots in Kashmir. As the Yatra nears Padgampora, Awantipora (NH1), defunct dumping has made the area hazardous. Stray dogs are attacking residents dozens injured, including children. Four such sites in Pulwama need urgent

Your dumping site is unsafe, a breeding ground for disease, and is harming locals. It sits right along NH1 the only route for Yatra and tourism and violates environmental norms.

Shocking & Heartbreaking! Mr. Hussain from Hydergund, Zainapora has been jailed — not for any crime, but for simply raising his voice against the illegal diversion of a bund sanctioned by RDD. Instead of addressing the genuine public concern, the administration chose to punish

The sub-cabinet committee exists to stall the govt’s stand on merit, giving courts time to kill it while J&K’s Social Welfare Dept clearly defended reservations over merit. In court. Those claiming committee is helping students are either lying or complicit. Unfortunate how some

Six months ago, the J&K government promised to resolve the Reservation issue through a subcommittee report. That deadline has passed, leaving thousands of students heartbroken and disillusioned, their trust in the system shattered and their futures put on hold. This is a

Completely agree with Waheed Para Time Omar Abdullah realised that he was elected to be fair to Kashmiris!

There is no room for secrecy in a democracy. Democratic institutions draw their legitimacy from transparency and accountability, not concealment. The government has no legal or moral ground to withhold the subcommittee’s report on the rationalisation of reservation. On the
