At the first International Film Festival of Jammu & Kashmir, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said the government is planning to invest in modern post-production facilities and building studios for ‘end-to-end production ecosystems.’

Ambassador Sergio Gor in a visit to Srinagar met CM Omar Abdullah. He also lauded security measures & hinted at reevaluating the current highest level travel advisory to the union territory.

Videos posted by Omar Abdullah showed him inside an autorickshaw, clutching protest placards while one colleague occupied the front seat beside the driver as the unlikely political convoy buzzed through Delhi traffic.

Both the central and state governments of J&K have done remarkably well to stabilise the situation and put the state back on the rails.

The episode forces an uncomfortable but constitutionally routine point into the open: Hindus are a minority in J&K. Their protection is territorial, not “civilisational”.

National Conference Srinagar MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi says his party has failed to live up to its core election promise, choosing a 'cosy' relationship with the Centre over resistance.  

Speaking at book launch in the Capital, J&K CM says Baisaran valley in Pahalgam was open to tourists 8-9 months each year. ‘Rs 1 cr was paid to tourism dept, with knowledge of L-G.’

Speaking at book launch in the Capital, CM Omar Abdullah says Centre told J&K polls would follow delimitation, followed by statehood, but ‘the third process is going nowhere’.

For many Muslims, the message from this Martyrs’ Day is that it doesn’t matter who the community votes for, Kashmir’s identity and history will be decided by Hindu nationalist power, not their democratic choices.

This was the 1st working committee meeting of the party after J&K elections, it is learnt. All senior leaders were in attendance.
