Congratulations Jammu & Kashmir!
Historic day for Jammu & Kashmir! Today, our cricketers have made history by winning our first ever Ranji Trophy title, becoming only the tenth team in the 92-year history of this iconic tournament to do so in their maiden final appearance. After years of hard work, resilience and belief, J&K stood tall against a strong Karnataka side, secured a massive first innings lead, and lifted the coveted trophy. 
This achievement is bigger than a sporting victory, reflecting what sustained dedication, teamwork, and discipline can achieve. From the early generations who played just to prove themselves, to this phenomenal squad that fought every battle with courage and conviction this season, this title belongs to every young athlete of our region who dares to dream. 
Congratulations to the players, coaches and support staff. Thank you for showing the nation the power of passion and perseverance. You have set a new benchmark, not just in cricket, but in the spirit of sport across Jammu & Kashmir.
For our youth this moment is a spark — a reminder that through consistent effort and belief in oneself, the impossible becomes possible.
Let’s build on this momentum — in sport, in education, in every arena where our young people aspire to excel. Congratulations, Champions!
Years of service, still on probation. JKAS 2019 batch officers have completed 5 years of service, far beyond the 4-year limit under SRO-386, yet remain unconfirmed. The delay isn’t their fault, departmental exams were never held, and even the CAT Jammu Bench has directed Govt to confirm their probation.
Despite clear rules and a court order, there’s no action. These officers have served J&K with sincerity.
Urging @CM_JnK to act on the Tribunal’s directions without delay — such prolonged inaction erodes morale, breeds corruption, and punishes merit.
J&K administration salutes the Martyrdom of ADDC Raj Kumar Thapa, JKAS
Jammu and Kashmir administration expresses deep sorrow and heartfelt condolences on the martyrdom of Shri Raj Kumar Thapa, Additional District Development Commissioner (ADDC) Rajouri, who laid down his life during cross-border shelling while serving the nation with unwavering dedication.
Shri Thapa was a highly respected and committed officer known for his integrity, discipline, and people-centric approach. His contribution during the Budhal crisis in Rajouri stands out as a shining example of administrative courage and responsiveness. Amid heightened tensions and difficult terrain, he played a crucial role in coordinating relief, maintaining peace, and ensuring the safety of civilians. His leadership in those testing times earned him immense respect across all sections of society.
His martyrdom is an irreparable loss not only to the civil administration but to the entire Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The J&K administration stands in solidarity with the family of Martyr Thapa in this hour of grief and honours his sacrifice with deep reverence.
The memory of his service and sacrifice will continue to inspire generations of public servants and citizens alike.

Raised the issue of unfair treatment of Direct Recruit KAS Officers in the Assembly today. Due to changes in SRO 256 (2016), many junior officers from feeding services are getting promoted ahead of merit-based direct recruits.
Urged the Govt to restore the 55% quota for Direct Recruits, ensure seniority-based promotions, and protect merit in administration.
