As the Ministry of Home Affairs reiterated the provisions outlined in Jammu and Kashmir's post-2019 reorganisation, the political class expressed their anger and frustration over the state and status of democracy, as well as the extent of power they might wield if assembly elections were to occur, reports Syed Shadab Ali Gillani 

Four members of a9-member family in a north Kashmir village died in a road accident while they were driving with 1200 litres of water for their kitchen.

Six politicians from the former Jammu and Kashmir state are headed to parliament following a fair election that revived political activity after nearly five years. Two former Chief Ministers lost amid prepoll gerrymandering, while a politician fighting money laundering charges from Tihar emerged as a significant winner.

In the just concluded Lok Sabha elections, syed Shadab Ali Gillani was supposed to meet the politicians who were in the contest and accompany them to their rallies across Kashmir. He recorded his first-hand account of the highs and lows of a challenging assignment that came early in his career

As JKNC,PDP and the Apni Party candidates contest for representing  the heterogenous and challenging Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha seat, everybody has too much at stake.it is the revival of her decimated party for Mehbooba Mufti and a test of popularity as a religious leader for Mian Altaf. For the BJP that did not contest, the challenge is if its reservation politics worked, reports Syed Shadab Ali Gillani

After massive changes in the reservation system  in Jammu and Kashmir, the open merit basket has been squeezed to an all-time low.
