Unending Terror Cycle and Rising Health Concerns in Jammu and Kashmir

Jammu and Kashmir, even in 2026, remains in the grip of terrorism, as evidenced by recent encounters with Pakistani terrorists. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah criticized the BJP's assertion that terrorism would end after the 2019 abrogation of Article 370, questioning the origins and persistence of these threats.

Abdullah highlighted the resurgence of terrorism in regions previously free of such incidents, demanding answers about the terrorists' presence in local areas like Udhampur. Despite security forces' successes, the Chief Minister emphasized the need for clarity and solutions to stop this continuing cycle of violence.

In another pressing issue, Abdullah acknowledged the rising cancer rates within the Union Territory. He outlined the government's urgent priorities: increasing funding for cancer research, bolstering healthcare infrastructure, and offering financial support to economically challenged patients. These efforts aim to address the growing medical crisis.
