Lieutenant Governor said that through the Civic Action Programme, the J&K Police has kept alive the conviction that we belong to community, that we care for youth, and that we believe in their future
You have inherited a Union Territory brimming with extraordinary potential. I want you to seize it fully. Dream big, with the health, freedom, and opportunities to make those dreams real: LG Sinha to Youth
Sports teach the power of shared purpose: a dedicated team achieves what no individual can. These lessons extend beyond the field, forming the foundation of life’s greatest triumphs: LG
Lieutenant Governor said the peace we enjoy today, the peace that lets families gather, athletes compete, and communities thrive, did not come without a price
It was secured through the sacrifices of the J&K Police, the Army, and the CAPFs. Thousands of police personnel, soldiers, and CAPF bravehearts gave their lives protecting the people of Jammu & Kashmir. Our duty is not just to remember them, but to ensure their sacrifice endures, preserving the peace they won: LG
