Kashmir on the path to peace

Militant incidences in Kashmir have gone down significantly. They were never so low since 1989. In 2008, there was 40% reduction in militant incidences in Kashmir. Compared to figures 5 years ago there is 80% reduction. Reduction in civilian deaths has been even more, nearly 90%. This is due to precision techniques used by militiray, widepsread dialogue, peace process initiated by government and presence of multiparty politics and genuinely elected government in Jammu & kashmir.

The newly elected Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of Jammu & Kashmir has done something that no politician had done in past twenty years.Fearing militant attackes on them politicians move around in dark glassed cars with security vehicles accompanying in plenty. He went on a celebration rally sitting atop a sedan with his son.

Long live peace and happiness on this heaven on earth called Jammu-Kashmir-Ladakh.
