Kashmir has a short working season for executing developmental works, particularly road macadamisation. It is an economic reality that disruptions in global markets trigger price volatility. The Iran–US conflict has disrupted supply chains, including petroleum-linked inputs, leading to increased costs of materials required for road works.
Although the Government has earmarked funds under various R&B and other development schemes, execution on the ground is yet to begin despite the season already being well into July. Contractors are seeking a revision of rates to reflect the increased costs, while the Government remains unwilling to revise them. This impasse has brought development, especially road macadamisation, to a standstill.
The Government should not hide behind budgetary allocations and statistics to mask the failure to deliver tangible outcomes. It must act without further delay to resolve the deadlock and ensure that developmental works commence immediately before the limited working season is lost.

[Abdul Gani Vakil @_GaniVakil]

On this solemn day, I pay my heartfelt tributes to the Martyrs of 13 July, whose sacrifices remain an enduring symbol of the struggle for justice, dignity, and democratic rights in Jammu and Kashmir. Their courage and selflessness continue to inspire generations.

🚨 STOP THE LAND GRAB. Srinagar’s natural flood defense is being choked to death. The protected Brari Nambal lagoon has lost over 23% of its area to greedy, illegal commercial encroachment. We saw the devastation in 2014—when will we learn? Save Baba Demb before it’s too late! 🛑🏔️ #SaveBrariNambal #Srinagar #ActNow

*Sajad Lone Pays Floral Tributes to 1931 Martyrs*

_Says Present Govt. Has Chosen Amnesia Over Restoring July 13 Holiday_

*Srinagar, July 13:* J&K Peoples Conference President and MLA Handwara, Sajad Gani Lone, paid floral tributes on Sunday to the martyrs of July 13, 1931, describing the day as one inscribed not merely in history but in the collective conscience of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

He said the occasion represents a long denied recognition that continues to await the dignity it deserves.

Speaking on the occasion, Lone launched a scathing attack on the present dispensation, accusing it of relegating history to irrelevance while substituting governance with political spectacle.

"This government has made no sincere effort to restore this public holiday, honouring the sacrifice of our native heroes. It has chosen theatre over truth, rhetoric over resolve and in doing so, has turned its back on history itself," he said.

Lone asserted that collective memory cannot be extinguished through executive decrees.

"No government order can erase what a people choose to remember," he remarked, adding that the restoration of July 13 as a public holiday is not a concession but a long overdue obligation rooted in historical justice.

Restoring the day as a public holiday, he said, would transcend symbolism.

"It would constitute an act of moral and historical restitution, restoring to those who laid down their lives the honour they rightfully deserve and reaffirming Jammu and Kashmir's commitment to an honest remembrance of its past," he concluded.

For God’s sake, CM Sahab, enough.

The same Ministers and MLAs who’ll mortgage their souls for ₹10,000, who’ll trade a government file for a hotel room, a bottle or a plate of Rista and Kabab — these are the men you claim were offered ₹20–30 crore and ministerial berths? Wah! Overnight, your chai-paani brigade got listed on the stock exchange. Somebody alert SEBI — the most overvalued asset in India today is an NC MLA.

Let’s be honest: most of your flock would cross the floor for a full tank of petrol and a Wazwan. And why would anyone buy what you’ve been giving away free? You gift-wrapped Rajya Sabha seats for the BJP — Congress locked out, no agents posted, no vote-watching, just a red carpet rolled onto a clear runway. In a match this fixed, who needs horse-trading? The horses were donated.

Honestly, sir who has served the BJP with more devotion than you? Even their own workers don’t show this much commitment to servitude.

And the manifesto? 200 units of free electricity — missing. One lakh jobs — missing. 12 gas cylinders — missing. The only delivery that arrived on time is the fixed match of JKNC with the BJP.

The Fixture List of the Fixed Match

• 30th June: Signatures collected on the O.P. Shah paper — mainstream, opposition, even militants — for dialogue, trade, and opening routes with Pakistan. Quite the guest list. The only signature missing was common sense.

• 7th July: JKNC sends Jantar Mantar protest invites to separatists, mainstream, opposition — and BJP-JK. Sir, when your protest guest list includes the party you’re protesting against, that’s not a protest. That’s a mixer. Should we book the DJ, or will the cake-cutting suffice?

• 11th July: The grand rally — Planned: 50,000 roaring people to “threaten the State of India.” Delivered: 3,000, half of them checking bus timings. Even the crowd smelled the fixed match.

• 13th July: Martyrs’ Day —the next pre-approved scene of the fixed match of JKNC & BJP. One plays the rebel, the other plays the referee and both split the box office. The “clash” choreographed in advance — The protest is fixed. The outrage is fixed. The response is fixed.

20th July: JKNC and BJP reach a “consensus on protests.” A pre-approved protest — congratulations, sir, you’ve invented the world’s first revolution with prior permission. Gandhi ji gave us civil disobedience; you’ve pioneered civil obedience.

Kashmir deserves a government, not a theatre company. What we have instead is the ultimate fixed match — JKNC vs BJP as opponents on the poster & JKNC plus BJP as partners behind the curtain.

The opponents are the advertisement; the partnership is the reality.

[J&K People’s Conference @JKPCOfficial]

JKPC continues to grow stronger as scores of political workers from different areas of Habba Kadal Constituency joined the party today.

🆘🚨The absolute height of hypocrisy, lies, and betrayal! Yesterday after 8 PM, the old Crest Hyundai showroom at Pantha Chowk was sneakily turned into a massive wine shop.
My recent Excise RTI already exposed 8 liquor licenses pushed through during this tenure—and this makes it the 9th liquor shop flooding Srinagar and Ganderbal alone!

Hey @tanvirsadiq, didn't you proudly claim that only @JKNC_ would ban alcohol here? And what about @Abmajeedlarmi's grand, high-decibel drama threatening to resign if @OmarAbdullah's government granted even a single permission?

"Larmi Sahib", look at the cold, hard facts now! 9 shops are wide open under your watch. Your bluff is completely called!
While Kashmir's youth face severe unemployment, @OmarAbdullah’s government is aggressively turning dense residential neighborhoods into alcohol hubs. You are trading our culture, faith, and community safety for cheap revenue. Total betrayal of public trust! 🛑

The Dark Era of J&K didn’t begin with outsiders. In my view, it began from within.

9 July 1977.

The self-styled “Lion of Kashmir”, Marhoom Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah Sahab, moved from the office of Prime Minister of J&K to that of Chief Minister.

Not after military defeat. Not under visible compulsion. But through a political choice.

For many, it marked the beginning of a long journey of compromises, broken promises and the steady erosion of J&K’s distinct political identity.

9 July 1977: jis din Wazir-e-Azam apni marzi se Wazir-e-Aala ban gaya.

The story, in my view, did not end there.

Farooq Abdullah sb later accepted constitutional changes that further weakened the protections associated with Articles 370 and 35A.

And the political transition continued. Omar Abdullah took oath as the Chief Minister of the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir, (without Ladakh)a position very different from heading the former State of Jammu & Kashmir (with Ladakh).

Whether one agrees or disagrees, these milestones remain central to any debate on how J&K’s political status evolved.

History didn’t change in one day. It changed one compromise at a time.

Saddened by the fire incident at Golipora Rajwar. Recently two houses were gutted in Krumhora and now another family has suffered a devastating loss.

Rajwar urgently needs a Fire & Emergency Services station. I request @manojsinha_ sahib to please take it up on priority. There is a gain a similar demand and equally important in Trathpora.

[Sheikh Imran @imrankehwah]

142 Government Degree Colleges — and dozens of them run by “look-after” Principals because the DPCs of deserving Professors were deliberately buried in cold storage for years. This was not negligence. This was design.

The Higher Education Department stands convicted by its own hand. Order No. 141-JK(HE) of 2026 dated 18 May 2026 openly confesses these are stopgap arrangements pending selection of regular Principals.

The Department knew, The Department sat on it & The Department did nothing.
And now — suddenly, conveniently — a “selection process” is conjured out of thin air. Coincidence? Nobody is that naive. This reeks of a pre-scripted, calculated operation to trample deserving officers underfoot and gift the top posts of J&K’s colleges to politically anointed favourites.

Worse still: one individual sits astride at least three of the highest offices in the Higher Education Department. One man, three chairs, zero accountability. When absolute power is concentrated in a single pair of hands and merit is bulldozed at every turn, the system is not merely unfair — it is rigged.

Let us call this what it is. This is not education reform. This is political patronage dressed up in official stationery. The playbook is shameless: freeze promotions, strangle DPCs, deny deserving officers their rightful due, keep 142 colleges limping on makeshift arrangements — and then stage-manage the outcome through a tailor-made selection charade.

Merit — butchered. Transparency — buried. Accountability — extinct.
The people of Jammu & Kashmir will not be taken for fools. They demand answers. And they will get them.
