Manoj Sinha marks Jammu and Kashmir UT Foundation Day
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha addressed the 8th Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory Foundation Day in Srinagar, marking the anniversary of the region's reorganization. Sinha stated that the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019 has provided citizens with freedom from fear and access to rights that were previously denied.
Sinha reported a significant security transformation in the region, claiming that more than 780 terrorists have been eliminated since 2020. He further asserted that local recruitment for terror activities has ended and incidents of stone-pelting have been erased. He credited the developments to a shift toward democracy, development, and public participation through grassroots institutions and assembly elections.
The event coincided with the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. While the Lieutenant Governor's administration led the celebrations, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and his ministers were absent from the proceedings as the National Conference continues to advocate for the restoration of statehood.
