The BJP government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Centre has been working hard to give the people of Jammu and Kashmir a level-playing field and is ensuring that nothing comes in between J&K’s prosperity. This hard work has now started bearing the desired fruits. Today, people can celebrate their festivals, take out religious processions, carry out pilgrimages safely and visit remote areas of the valley as tourists while contributing to the economy of the region. The restoration of the traditional route of the Muharram procession after more than three decades years by the Shia community coupled with the record-breaking Shri Amarnath Ji pilgrimage and heavy influx of tourists during summers is testimony to peace dawning in Kashmir valley. This normalcy, wherein people of all faiths and communities are carrying out their social and religious obligations peacefully, was missing from the canvas of Kashmir and now that everything is falling into its right place, it is a matter of great satisfaction and pride for all. The G20 meet also went on successfully, tourists are continuing to arrive unabatedly and yatra is beating all previous records, the government’s efforts in giving people an atmosphere of peace and prosperity are clearly visible. The credit for all this besides massive development goes to the people who are cooperating, the security forces who are guarding our borders, J&K Police which is instilling a sense of confidence amongst the masses and Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s administration for initiating measures to help people come out of fear and lead a normal life.
