Instead Of Making Life Easier For Pensioners, Widows, Transgenders, A J&K Govt Online Process Has Led To Misery
In September 2022, the Jammu & Kashmir government began online verification to make welfare doles for pensioners, the differently abled, widows, and transgenders more efficient. Instead, reflecting similar glitches in other states, hundreds have been denied monthly income for seven to eight months due to lack of documents, system glitches and biometric mismatches, despite several trips to offices meant to help them.

Night prayers at Jammu and Kashmir mosque
The Jammu and Kashmir government on Monday night allowed congregational prayers at Jamia Masjid for the first time since the scrapping of the region’s special status in 2019, with next month’s proposed G20 meetings possibly forcing the change.
The government faced tough questions last week after disallowing Jumat ul Vida prayers, marking the last Friday of Ramazan, at Jamia Masjid.

At A Time Of Economic Distress, J&K Land Eviction Drive Imperils Livelihoods
Traders. Scrap dealerships. Apple farmers. Hoteliers. Hundreds in diverse professions have seen their land—from high, rural pastures to city shopping complexes—seized and properties demolished, after Jammu and Kashmir was reduced to a union territory in August 2019. The rights to many of these lands were provided by previous state governments, some were gifted by erstwhile monarchy, others were encroached.
