Sarhad to aid 100 children from J&K
In a heartwarming gesture, the Sarhad organisation has decided to adopt 100 children from families affected by terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. The initiative aims to provide these children with the opportunity for a better education; despite the immense trauma they have experienced due to violence in the region.
According to officials, after the recent terror attack in the Pahalgam area, the tourism industry of the region is badly affected.
Sanjay Nahar, founder of Sarhad — an organisation working for the rehabilitation and welfare of Kashmiri students for over two decades — said, 'We have initiated the identification process of the children. Under this, we will adopt 50 girls and 50 boys and will provide them free education so that any such activity in the valley will not halt their education.''

Tourism Terror And Tensions Discussing Kashmir After Operation Sindoor
On 22 April, militants struck Baisaran meadow, a scenic tourist spot in Kashmir, separating Hindu and Sikh visitors from Muslim locals before opening fire. The attack killed several men while sparing women and children, a grim reminder of how civilians remain trapped in cycles of violence. For Kashmir's residents, the aftermath was twofold: grief for lives lost, and dread over the collapse of their fragile economy. The region had welcomed many tourists the previous year, offering hope for stable livelihoods. Now, deserted streets and cancelled bookings threaten shopkeepers, guides, and hotel workers already struggling after years of conflict. In the days that followed, cross-border shelling between India and Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) shattered the ceasefire, displacing families in Poonch and other border districts. Homes were damaged, and schools closed. For many Kashmiris, survival now hinges on navigating checkpoints, shortages, and the constant hum of drones overhead a daily reality overshadowed by geopolitical headlines. The question is no longer just about India or Pakistan's next move, but how Kashmiri civilians will endure yet another surge of violence?

The Prime Minister was speaking after flagging off the first train service to the Kashmir Valley, and inaugurating several development projects, including the world's highest railway bridge over the Chenab river and India's first cable-stayed Anji bridge.

He also laid the foundation stone and inaugurated multiple development projects worth over ₹46,000 crore for Katra, the base camp for pilgrims visiting the Vaishno Devi shrine atop Trikuta hills in Reasi district.
