Positive steps, no doubt. But I hope this is part of a sustained development effort and not just a seasonal PR activity. The people of J&K need consistent support for education, healthcare, and jobs year-round.

Good work by the Chak Keegam Battalion and Elfa NGO. The medical camp by CRPF is also crucial. When our security forces engage in such seva, it builds immense trust. This is the real India.
