The People's Rupees

Public funds in Kashmir should be more than numbers on paper. They should be felt in every home, school, and hospital.

- Irshad Mushtaq

Every month, the government releases crores meant to feed families, keep streets safe, and heal the sick. On paper, it looks like a safety net. On the ground, it often feels like a sieve.

Salaries, perks, and large projects soak up huge sums, yet the outcomes don't always match the investment.
