J&K Sees 80% Drop in Violence, Stability Restored; Students Thrive Without Disruptions: Amit Shah

Violence in J&K down by 80%; UT has achieved complete stability: Amit Shah

In past 10 years UT has not witnessed any bomb blasts, stone pelting incidents, or terrorist activities

Students can now breathe freely, pursue education without disruptions

Soon, the day will come when army will be stationed only at borders

New Delhi, Feb 24 (KNO): Asserting that violence in Jammu and Kashmir has reduced by over 80%, Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday said that the Union Territory has achieved complete stability, and it would last forever.

Interacting with the youth of J&K under the ‘Watan Ko Jano’ Youth Exchange Program in the national capital, Shah, according to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said, “Following the abrogation of Article 370 under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Jammu and Kashmir has attained complete stability, which is there to stay.”

He said that since 2019, students, youth, and residents of J&K have been brought on par with those in other states like Haryana and Punjab.

Highlighting the transformation in the security landscape, he said, “Over the past decade, there have been no bomb blasts, stone pelting incidents, or terrorist activities. Students can now breathe freely and pursue their education without disruptions. With peace prevailing in the Valley, people across the country now view J&K with love and respect.”

He pointed out the human cost of past unrest, stating, “In the last 30 years, around 38,000 people lost their lives due to violence—an era marked by destruction. Today, violence has reduced by over 80%. However, I will not be truly satisfied until not a single life is lost to violence. That is our ultimate goal for J&K.”

Encouraging the students to become ambassadors of peace, Shah said, “When people recognize that Kashmir is living in a peaceful environment, there will be no need for security forces within the region. Soon, the day will come when there are no guns in the hands of the youth, and the army will be stationed only at the borders, as in other states. The power to create this future lies in the hands of students.”

Highlighting J&K’s infrastructure development, he said, “Jammu and Kashmir is home to the world’s highest Chenab Rail Bridge—an engineering marvel not found in any other state. Additionally, we have Asia’s largest cable bridge, showcasing the scale of development aimed at promoting J&K as a premier tourist destination.”

The Home Minister also spoke about advancements in healthcare and education, mentioning the establishment of AIIMS and an Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Jammu.

Urging students to focus on their education and leverage government initiatives, Shah advised, “Do not drop out midway. Stay committed to your studies, achieve your goals, and make use of the vast opportunities available in the country.”

Shah urged the students to take a message of peace, progress, and development back to their communities. “More such tours will be organized in the future, allowing you to explore and experience the progress across the country,” he assured.

Citing development milestones, Shah said, “Earlier, rural areas in Jammu and Kashmir lacked access to clean water. But due to PM Modi’s efforts, over 80% of rural households now have tap water connections.”—(KNO)

Restoring J&K’s Statehood: A Key to Lasting Solutions, Says CM Omar Abdullah

Restoration of J&K’s statehood crucial for resolving issues: CM Omar Abdullah

Manifesto not for 5 days or 5 months, it’s for 5 years

Have added 10 more people to PM Modi’s campaign against obesity

*Need to use water judiciously to mitigate crisis*

Sajid Raina

Srinagar, Feb 24 (KNO): Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday reiterated that the restoration of statehood is crucial for addressing various challenges faced by the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Talking to reporters here, Omar, according to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said that his government remains committed to fulfilling its promises and urged patience from the public. “Manifesto is not for five days or five months, it’s for five years. We have not even presented our first budget yet. Please wait. We know what promises we have made to the people and how to fulfill them,” the Chief Minister said.

He asserted that while his administration is making full use of the Union Territory’s governance framework, certain issues can only be addressed after the restoration of statehood. “I repeatedly emphasize the need for statehood because I understand that there are many issues troubling the people. However, their resolution is not possible under Union Territory status; restoring statehood is essential for that.”

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also spoke about his participation in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s campaign against obesity, a growing health concern in India. “Obesity is considered a lifestyle illness that is on the rise. The Prime Minister initiated a campaign against it and included me to take it forward. I have added 10 more people to this campaign,” he said.

Expressing concern over an 80 percent precipitation deficit in Jammu and Kashmir, the Chief Minister urged people to use water judiciously to avoid a severe crisis in the summer months. “We are facing a difficult situation due to a rain deficit. I understand that people are worried as we are witnessing a drought-like situation,” he said.

The Chief Minister warned that a lack of snowfall and rainfall would severely impact water availability for both household and agricultural needs. “In many areas of Jammu and Kashmir, 70-80% of the annual precipitation is crucial for agriculture. The absence of adequate snowfall or rain will lead to water scarcity during the summer months,” he said.

To mitigate the crisis, the Chief Minister called for proactive measures such as rainwater harvesting, snow conservation, and improved irrigation infrastructure for farmers. “We need to prepare for the coming summer months. We must implement rainwater harvesting, save snow, and arrange irrigation facilities for farmers,” he urged.

On the upcoming Budget session the Chief Minister refrained from divulging details. “I will not talk about the Budget as it is the government’s duty to present it first in the Assembly. All the aspects of the Budget will be clear when it is presented on March 7,” he said—(KNO)
