Srinagar on water

The waterways remained – beautiful, historic, photographed endlessly – but less central to how Srinagar functioned.

For thousands of commuters in Srinagar and Jammu, traffic is no longer a temporary delay. It has become part of the architecture of the day.

And yet much of it exists in a fragile state – admired, photographed, spoken about often, but not always protected.

Ghulam Muhammad Banday, President of the Fruit Growers Association South Kashmir, said the losses from recent hailstorms have been severe.

The order said he would hold charge of the post in addition to his existing duties until further orders.

Police said a large quantity of urea fertiliser was found stored inside a godown during the inspection.

Police said the tractors were found engaged in unauthorised extraction and transportation of minerals and were seized on the spot.

In a statement, Jammu and Kashmir Police said the arrests were made under the “100-Day Nasha Mukt Jammu Kashmir Abhiyaan”.

The accused was identified as Aadil Hussain Lone of Mohammadpora in Kulgam district, police said.

“This is the time to look ahead, not dwell on what has been done in the past,” the PM told the ministers, according to sources.
