I was pleased to attend the concluding ceremony of Swachhata Hi Seva 2026 at GDC Tangmarg in the presence of Hon’ble Minister @JavedDar_NC sahib who graced the occasion as Chief Guest and Director General Rural Sanitation, J&K, Mrs. Anu Malhotra.
I welcome the sanction of ₹4.5 crore for strengthening sanitation infrastructure in Baramulla district. This will help improve sanitation and waste-management facilities across the district.
As MLA Gulmarg, I believe keeping Gulmarg, other tourist destinations, villages and our neighbourhoods clean is our collective responsibility. Cleanliness must begin from our own homes and become a daily habit.
I appeal everyone to actively participate in this mission and work together for a cleaner & greener Gulmarg and all our surroundings.
#VIDEO || “Today’s resolution is specifically for restoration of statehood. The 2000 and 2024 resolutions are already the property of the House”: NC MLA @FarooqShah_JKNC@JKNC_
Today, I raised several important developmental issues in the Legislative Assembly, focusing on matters directly connected with the everyday lives and livelihoods of the people.
I highlighted the need for focused attention towards the Poonch-Loran-Tangmarg Road, strengthening the education sector, ensuring safe and adequate potable water supply to every household, and improving rural sanitation and basic civic infrastructure.
Special emphasis was laid on horticulture, one of the major contributors to J&K’s economy and a vital source of livelihood for thousands of families. I highlighted the challenges being faced by our fruit growers as well as fruit dealers, including issues related to transportation, market access, infrastructure and timely movement of produce. I also spoke about the insurance cover for the losses caused to Agriculture due to natural calamities and subsidy on Anti-Hail Nets to protect the orchards from hailstorms.
Our farmers and fruit growers deserve a supportive system that protects their hard work, improves their income and strengthens the entire horticulture value chain. The concerns raised in the House are aimed at ensuring balanced development and addressing the genuine needs of our people.
Today, I attended the Buyer-Seller Meet-cum-Awareness Programme at SKICC, organised by the Directorate of Horticulture Planning & Marketing, J&K. I interacted with fruit growers and traders and stressed the need for strengthening market linkages and ensuring better returns for our growers.
Immediately after attending the programme, I attended the first day of Legislative Assembly at Assembly Complex Srinagar.
I also visited Gonipora, Hardushoora and Kunzer Market to review various ongoing development works, including the Kasai-Ganipora road which has been upgraded/macadamized first time in 25 years, Middle School building at Hardushoora and protection bund at Kunzer Market. During the visits, I took feedback from the concerned officers and directed them to ensure timely completion of the works while maintaining proper quality and addressing the genuine needs of the people.
Later, I visited Qazipora, Tangmarg, to offer my condolences to Manzoor Ahmad Lone and his family on the passing of his father, Haji Ghulam Muhammad Lone. I expressed solidarity with the bereaved family and prayed for eternal peace to the departed soul and strength to the family to bear this irreparable loss.
Today, I had the opportunity to interact with our dedicated National Conference workers at the worker's convention held at Wailoo Block. I appreciated their enthusiasm and urged everyone to remain united, disciplined and closely connected with the people and their issues.
I was also pleased to welcome several new members from the Apni Party into the National Conference family. I warmly welcome them and look forward to their active participation in strengthening the party at the grassroots level.
Later, I attended the final of match of the Hazrat Lateef-ud-Din (RA) Cricket Tournament at Rawathpora. Congratulations to Mahyen for winning the tournament, and appreciation to all 32 participating teams and the organisers for promoting sports among our youth. I assured the youth of continued support for sports and other constructive activities across Gulmarg constituency that help them develop their talent, build discipline and stay away from negative influences.
Our youth are our strength, and we must continue to provide them with opportunities to grow, excel and stay engaged in constructive activities.

Today, I visited the Fruit Mandi site at Wussan Bangil and reviewed the arrangements for its upcoming inauguration with the concerned officers. I directed all departments to ensure that every arrangement is completed in a timely and proper manner.
The Fruit Mandi is an important project for the horticulture sector in our constituency. It will provide better marketing facilities to our fruit growers & traders, help improve returns and give a strong boost to horticulture and the local economy across Gulmarg constituency.
Later, I visited Mahin, Mirchipora, Kheminderpora and Lalpora to express my condolences to bereaved families. I stand with them in this difficult time and pray to Almighty Allah to grant Maghfirat to the departed souls and strength and patience to the bereaved families.

I also had the privilege of participating in a plantation drive organised by the Forest Department in collaboration with Delhi Public School, Eco-Tourism Association of Kashmir and the Hoteliers Club. Protecting Gulmarg's pristine environment is our shared responsibility, and every tree we plant is an investment in the future of our generations.

HCM J&K Omar Abdullah, "In West Bengal, I think we need to examine the results very carefully. The simplest explanation is the curtailment of voter lists under the SIR, where large numbers of voters were provisionally affected."
Today, I had the privilege to attend the Urs of Syed Mohammad Bakir (RA) at Rawathpora and offer my prayers for peace, prosperity, and the wellbeing of our people. On this sacred occasion, I announced Rs. 5 lakh from my CDF for the construction of a dedicated room for Zaireen (pilgrims), to better support devotees visiting the shrine.
I later held a Public Outreach Programme under “Aapki Aawaz, Hamari Zimmedari,” where I had meaningful interactions with local residents. I listened closely to their concerns and assured them that all genuine issues will be addressed on priority.
During my visit, I also inspected the village playfield. Seeing the need for improvement, I announced Rs. 10 lakh from my CDF for fencing the ground, aiming to create better facilities for our youth and encourage a stronger sporting culture.
