Operation Sindoor: After India launched missile strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) under Operation Sindoor, the authorities in Srinagar have set up control rooms across all 10 districts of Kashmir to monitor the situation closely.
'Considering the current situation, a Joint Control Room is established at the District Emergency Operation Centre (DEOC), Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Srinagar under the overall supervision of the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Srinagar,' the local district magistrate said in an official order.
Similar control rooms have been set up in all 10 districts of Kashmir.
The Deputy Commissioner said the control room in Srinagar will work 24 hours a day. It will be a central place for departments to coordinate with each other, track what is happening, and share information instantly.
'It shall also act as a grievance redressal platform for the general public, allowing efficient resolution of issues arising in real time,' the order said.
This means people can also reach out to the control room to share their problems. The room will help in solving issues as soon as possible, coordinating emergency services, and providing any support or help needed, reported by PTI.
Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir government has directed all administrative secretaries and heads of departments not to approve any employee leave unless it is for an exceptional reason.

"Yesterday, Indian diplomacy received three huge setbacks at the hands of the United States. It raises severe, serious questions on the US policy. First setback, US Central Command: There are 11 unified commands. US Central Command is Florida-based; its head, General Michael Kurilla, said Pakistan is their phenomenal partner in counterterrorism. Pakistan is a phenomenal partner. Pakistan, where Osama bin Laden was found hiding for 10 years and he was killed on the 2nd of May 2011 in Abbottabad in Pakistan. Pakistan is a phenomenal counterterrorism partner. It's a bizarre statement from the top American general, the first setback," Ramesh told ANI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like I lost my wife, now my son is in danger, please help him! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo This came after the US Central Command chief, Gen Michael Kurilla, described Pakistan as a "phenomenal partner" in counter-terrorism during a hearing by the House Armed Services Committee on Tuesday. "Second setback, Field Marshal Aasim Munir. He gets an invitation to the US Army Day on June 14th. This is the same Aasim Munir who was a few days before the April 22 brutal terrorist attack at Pahalgam. He uses the most incendiary and provocative language, going back to the 1940s, talking of the two-nation theory. Inflammatory comments were made by General Aasim Munir, and I think that gave oxygen and led to the terror attacks, and that same Aasim Munir is getting an invitation to the US Army Day on June 14th," he added.

Underlining the significance of taking political parties into confidence, Ramesh said, "The Prime Minister has met all the MPs who have gone on delegations. He should meet the leaders of the opposition parties. Call the opposition parties; take them into confidence. He should have a special session of parliament. These are challenges. We have to sit together. We have to have a collective response, a collective will. How is that coming about? It will come only through all-party meetings. It will come only through the parliament sessions. I mean the Prime Minister should stop playing politics, start doing governance, and take opposition parties, not individuals - the anchor of our system is political parties, not individuals. Take political parties and their leaders into confidence."

Crops hit, dams at dead level: Pak water crisis deepens after India's Indus move
Pakistan is facing a severe water crisis, with the agricultural industry looking at deeper impacts, in the aftermath of India suspending the Indus Waters Treaty in retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam massacre in which Islamabad-backed terrorists gunned down 26 people, mostly Indus River System Authority (IRSA) reported discharging 11,180 cusecs of additional water than it received on Wednesday, worsening the water crisis. Furthermore, the water levels at the two major reservoirs in Pakistan - Tarbela on the Indus and Mangla on the Jhelum - have dropped to dead storage, thereby indicating the crisis will reservoir water reaching its dead storage levels also means that it cannot be drained out by gravity, thus limiting its use for irrigation or drinking. The water crisis is even stronger in the Punjab province, where the kharif season has started. The kharif farming has witnessed a dip of more than 20 per cent owing to receiving 1.14 lakh cusecs of water as opposed to 1.43 lakh cusecs a day last year. The production of kharif crops - cotton and maize - has declined by over 30 per cent and 15 per cent in Pakistan, respectively. The production of wheat - a rabi crop - has also dropped by around 9 per cent owing to the water shortage in the the agricultural industry, especially the kharif outputs impacted, its overall share in Pakistan's GDP dipped to 23.54 per cent in fiscal 2025 from 24.03 per cent the previous financial situation is expected to deteriorate in the upcoming weeks, especially as India undertakes regular desilting and flushing its dams in Jammu and Kashmir to enhance its own storage capacity. Additionally, with the monsoon still weeks away, IRSA has warned of a 21 per cent water shortage in the early kharif season and 7 per cent towards the has been relentless in its efforts to convince India to reinstate the Indus treaty. Last week, India Today reported that Islamabad wrote as many as four letters to Delhi, urging the latter to reconsider its decision to stop the treaty before Operation Sindoor. Sources told India Today TV that Pakistan also requested the World Bank, which brokered the deal, to intervene in the matter. However, the global body refused to mediate in the Indus Waters Treaty allocates the eastern rivers - Ravi, Beas and Sutlej - to India and the western ones, such as Jhelum, Chenab and Indus, to Pakistan. Responding to the water move last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi firmly said that water and blood cannot flow is also strengthening its water infrastructure, aimed at bettering its domestic storage and strategic hold over the shared waters.
