6000 flats promised, but PM Package employees are still waiting!
Officials are once again inspecting the PM Package transit accommodations and assuring employees that possession will be handed over “at the earliest.” But the ground reality raises a simple question: if 5,176 out of 6,000 flats are already constructed, why are employees still waiting for basic infrastructure and possession?
After years of announcements, inspections and deadlines, employees need completed homes—not more assurances and site visits. Boundary walls, roads, drainage, elevators and other facilities should have been completed alongside the flats.
The government must fix clear deadlines and make officials accountable for delays. Displaced employees deserve timely rehabilitation, dignity and certainty—not repeated promises.

Mata Lalleshwari Heritage Centre
A New Chapter in J&K’s Cultural Heritage
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today laid the foundation stone of the Mata Lalleshwari Cultural Cum Heritage Centre at Mata Bhaderkali Asthapan, Thalwal, Jammu.
Sanctioned at a cost of ₹4.5 crore, the centre will preserve and promote the timeless teachings of Yogini Lalleshwari, while serving as a hub for research, art, spirituality and cultural exchange.
The Centre is envisioned as a living repository of Jammu Kashmir’s spiritual legacy, promoting social harmony, empowering youth through creative expression and strengthening cultural connections.
It is also expected to contribute to spiritual tourism and local economic revitalisation, attracting seekers, historians and travellers from across India and the world.
As the LG aptly said, a society disconnected from its roots can lose its sense of direction. The Mata Lalleshwari Centre will help reconnect future generations with the region’s rich spiritual and civilisational heritage. 🙏

LADAKH’S “WONDER BERRY” GETS A BIG BOOST! 🚀

Sea Buckthorn procurement price DOUBLED from ₹150/kg to a minimum ₹300/kg!

A major push for Ladakh’s farmers and local communities as L-G Vinai Kumar Saxena inaugurated the first International Sea Buckthorn Conclave 2026 in Leh.

💰 100% PRICE HIKE
₹150/kg ➡️ ₹300/kg minimum

But the bigger challenge is what happens to the 85% of the crop currently going to waste! 😮

🌿 Wild Sea Buckthorn grows extensively across Ladakh, but its thorny bushes make harvesting difficult, labour-intensive and time-consuming.

🎯 NEW TARGETS:
➡️ Raise crop recovery from just 15% to 50% this year
➡️ Achieve 100% utilisation by next year
➡️ Promote modern harvesting techniques
➡️ Build processing and value-addition facilities
➡️ Improve packaging and market linkages
➡️ Develop a complete farm-to-market value chain in Ladakh

🌏 The two-day conclave has brought together 20 major buyers and around 120 MSME-registered entrepreneurs and SHGs, along with scientists, researchers and experts from Mongolia, Vietnam and Arunachal Pradesh.

📦 From cultivation → harvesting → processing → packaging → marketing, the aim is to ensure a larger share of the value reaches local farmers, entrepreneurs and communities.

🏔️ The conclave is being held amid the natural Sea Buckthorn habitat at Choglamsar forest, giving participants a first-hand look at the region’s unique natural resource.

Marhi Khui’s Basic Infrastructure Crisis Raises Questions

A visit to the Scheduled Tribe habitation of Marhi Khui in Anandpur Panchayat, Purmandal Block, has brought the difficulties faced by local residents into focus.

J&K Apni Party Provincial President Manjit Singh interacted with villagers and highlighted their concerns over:

🚧 Lack of proper concrete, all-weather road connectivity
💧 Unreliable drinking water supply
⚡ Power supply issues
📱 Poor mobile communication
🏥 Difficult access to essential public services

According to residents, the road problem becomes particularly serious during the rainy season, when movement is disrupted and the habitation can remain difficult to access.

The impact is not limited to daily commuting. Poor connectivity can affect school-going children, patients requiring medical care, farmers accessing markets and families dependent on regular communication with nearby areas.

Manjit Singh questioned the gap between government claims regarding ST development and the facilities reportedly available to residents of Marhi Khui.
The key question now is whether the administration will conduct a ground-level assessment of Marhi Khui and address these basic infrastructure gaps within a defined timeframe.

Development cannot be measured only through announcements and schemes—it has to be visible on the ground and felt in people’s daily lives.

Harmukh–Gangbal Yatra: Faith Meets the Himalayas 🏔️🕉️

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha flags off the sacred Harmukh–Gangbal pilgrimage from Ganderbal, calling it a “living expression of eternal faith” and a powerful symbol of purity, devotion and unity in diversity.

Set against the majestic Himalayas, the pilgrimage to Mount Harmukh and Gangbal Lake carries centuries of spiritual significance. The LG recalled references to Harmukh as the abode of Lord Shiva and Gangbal as the sacred presence of Mother Ganga, while highlighting the enduring devotion of pilgrims despite difficult terrain and historical challenges.

Urging pilgrims to become custodians of the Himalayan environment, LG Sinha emphasised that spiritual journeys bring people closer to nature and remind us that the mountains, lakes and forests are not merely scenic treasures but a shared heritage and responsibility.

The Harmukh–Gangbal pilgrimage is more than a journey through the mountains—it is a journey of faith, self-discovery, social harmony and environmental responsibility.

The LG also urged citizens and the Harmukh Ganga Gangbal Trust to participate in cleanliness drives, blood donation, health camps, tree plantation and youth programmes under the ongoing Seva Sankalp Abhiyan.

May the snow-clad peaks of Harmukh inspire lofty thoughts, and may the blessings of Lord Shiva remain with all pilgrims.

₹14.69 CRORE FLOOD RESTORATION WORKS — BUT WHERE WAS THE PREVENTION?

Jammu East, Nagrota and Sidhra suffered damage to water supply infrastructure during the August–September 2025 floods. Now, in September 2026, foundation stones are being laid for restoration works worth ₹11.29 crore and Tawi riverbank protection worth ₹3.40 crore.

The question Jammu deserves to ask:

❓ Why were vulnerable water supply schemes not strengthened before the floods?
❓ Why does riverbank protection become a priority only after damage occurs?
❓ Will these projects deliver lasting protection, or will we see another round of foundation stones after the next flood?
❓ Who will be held accountable if the same infrastructure is damaged again?
Public money is being spent, and people deserve more than announcements and ceremonies. They deserve durable infrastructure, proper planning, transparency and accountability.
Foundation stones are not flood protection. Completed, quality infrastructure is.
Jammu needs action—not just photo opportunities.

INDIA–US ARMY IN ACTION: DRONES, ROBOTIC DOGS & SNIPERS

What happens when Indian and US Army soldiers train for a close-quarter counterterrorism mission?

At Exercise Yudh Abhyas 2026 in Auli, troops conducted a realistic building-clearance and room-intervention drill, bringing together assault teams, drones, robotic dogs, canines and snipers.

The exercise demonstrated how human skills and advanced technology can be integrated during complex counterterrorism operations.

US Army personnel also interacted with Indian troops and examined the equipment and techniques used during the drill, strengthening tactical understanding and interoperability.

🇮🇳🤝🇺🇸 Two Armies. One training ground. Modern warfare demands teamwork, technology and precision.

Which technology do you think will play the biggest role in future counterterrorism operations — drones, robotic dogs or AI? 👇
