At a concert on December 19 at Mahalaxmi Race Course in Mumbai, part of the singer’s ‘The Dil-Luminati India Tour’, Dosanjh urged the crowd to visit Kashmir, adding that "our armed forces are in full control". 

According to official sources, Bhat hailed from a reputable family in Kulgam district, known for their successful apple business, and had completed his early education at government-run schools in Yaripora.

More than two months have passed since Omar Abdullah was sworn in as the J&K chief minister but his government is yet to get a grip on the issues of governance and administration in the union territory.

The two orders from the LG’s office have once again highlighted the power struggle in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Pahalgam railway line will also intrude on the fragile ecosystem of the wildlife sanctuaries and forests which fall in Lidder valley, posing a threat to Kashmir's rich biodiversity and micro-climate systems.

The order said that the committee “shall be serviced by the Social Welfare Department and shall submit its report to the Council of Ministers.” However, it didn’t specify any deadline.

The construction of the Srinagar ring road has brought with it a wave of controversy, as farmers and residents in Jammu and Kashmir voice fears of displacement, loss of livelihood and ecological degradation.

Residents living in the vicinity of the 850 MW hydropower project, which is expected to be commissioned by May 2026, have accused MEIL of violating the conditions laid down in the contract.

According to reports, about a dozen of the 34 establishments targeted by the JDA on Wednesday belonged to Kashmiri Pandits.

Some photos in the possession of The Wire indicate that the victims have been badly assaulted.

The warning letter comes days after J&K chief minister assured the media that his government would “not resort to highhandedness” against journalists.

Rehamatullah's detention under the same draconian law was quashed by the HC in 2017. His arrest comes soon after five trade union leaders of Chenab Valley were slapped with the PSA, allegedly for raising concerns over the increasing health risks and environmental degradation caused by the construction of power projects in the region.

The Wire's Jehangir Ali explains what this means for the erstwhile state and its implications on New Delhi.

A group of legislators from Kashmir-based parties (other than the ruling NC) also brought a third Article 370 resolution to the House on November 7.

'You were speaking a different language yesterday,' BJP leader Sunil Sharma told the Omar Abdullah-led J&K NC in the assembly.

As per constitutional practice, the words he read out were drafted by the popularly elected government and not him. At the same time, given how the Modi government has played fast and loose with constitutional propriety in J&K, Sinha could also have chosen to be difficult.

The Leader of the House and J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah termed the resolution an attention-grabbing, 'first-day, first-show' stint 'for the cameras'.

The body of a Srinagar shopkeeper which bore torture marks and had no firearm injuries, was found near a stream in Srinagar on June 1, 1996. Police claimed that Bhat was a militant and that he was killed in an encounter. His family has been struggling for justice since.

A senior police officer said that suspected militants opened gunfire at a vehicle of the Rashtriya Rifles that was part of a convoy moving in the area.

Narrating the incident to The Wire from his hospital bed, one of the workers said that his coworker, who was hit by a bullet in the abdomen , collapsed on top of him as he tried to crawl away to safety.
