NC's rebel MP @RuhullahMehdi holds Chief Minister's Advisor Nasir Sogami responsible for most of the wrongs in National Conference and its Government in Jammu and Kashmir. According to him, none other than Nasir was responsible for Omar Abdullah's defeat in the Lok Sabha elections of 2024 in North Kashmir and the same was the party's conclusion. He said that Chief Minister handled the Reservation file nonchalantly but got the file for his Advisor's Cabinet status approved with "begging" from the Union Home Minister. Aga also alleged that Nasir clandestinely played a sectarian card as he himself wanted to be NC's candidate after Omar Abdullah's resignation in the Budgam Assembly by-elections in November 2025.

Most Muslims know Ashura is a day to fast.
Few realize it may be the single most repeated day of divine intervention in human history.
The day oceans split.
The day impossible situations collapsed.
Here’s why Ashura is unlike any other day.
"J&K has one of the finest institutions dedicated to nurturing entrepreneurship the Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI). Yet, over the past few years, this institution has been pushed into near dormancy. The question that naturally arises is: why has the #YUWA program not been entrusted to EDI?
The YUWA scheme is a ₹2700 crore initiative that promised to create 1,37,000 entrepreneurship opportunities. But where are these enterprises today? Not a single genuinely new venture appears to have emerged under the scheme. Instead, existing startups seem to have been counted to inflate the numbers.
Rather than building a real ecosystem for entrepreneurs, the program has largely been reduced to distributing short-term loans. Even the vague survey for the scheme was conducted by employees as formality under the supervision of the Labour Department raising further questions about the credibility and methodology of the data, even if one assumes the numbers are correct.
What is even more puzzling is that despite having EDI a dedicated entrepreneurship institution with a proven track record the government chose to appoint IIM, primarily an academic institution, as the nodal agency for the program.
If the goal is truly to build entrepreneurs and not just circulate loan figures, then the government must answer a simple question: why not restore the responsibility for startups and programs like YUWA to EDI, an institution that has previously demonstrated far better performance, credibility, and transparency? JK, deserves genuine entrepreneurship development not just statistics to address the increasing challenges of unemployment @CM_JnK":

Every snowfall takes me back to this magical clip recorded by someone - a horse cart gliding through a snow-draped village in some south Kashmir area... Like a ride through dreamland.. ❄️🏔️ #Kashmir
History’s Major Snowfall
In #KashmirRepory watch #KashmirLife's #UmaimaReshi talk about how every winter, Kashmir debates snowfall through nostalgia and speculation. Yet history records far harsher truths. Drawing on Richard Lydekker’s account of the devastating winter of 1877–78, it contrasts past extremes with today’s shrinking snowlines, revealing how climate change has transformed snowfall from a remembered fury into an alarming absence.
