“What kind of transformation do we want to see in Jammu & Kashmir in the decade to come? We have been progressing for the last 4-5 years. The day is not far when Jammu & Kashmir would be one of the developed states,” said Sinha, highlighting the region’s recent advancements.

He called on citizens to join hands in building a progressive and harmonious Jammu & Kashmir, stating, “Let’s resolve to dedicate ourselves to building such a Jammu & Kashmir together.”

Addressing security concerns, Sinha pointed to persistent attempts by neighboring forces to disrupt harmony. “Our neighbor is making constant attempts to affect harmony, but I know the brave jawans of the armed forces, Police, and CRPF. They have been given full freedom, and terrorism will be crushed and eliminated,” he affirmed.
