Mehbooba M***i Visits Chattabal Ground, Opposes Any Construction Plan

Srinagar, Oct 01: PDP president and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba M***i on Wednesday expressed concern over reports of a possible security forces’ takeover of a public ground in the Chattabal area of Srinagar.

Addressing media persons during her visit to the Tabalground in Chattabal, M***i said local residents fear that the army or police may assume control of the ground — the only recreational space available to the area’s youth.

“Unfortunately, this has become a routine. We went to Chattabal Tabalground, and the same problem is there,” she said.

According to M***i, locals have heard that police intend to construct a memorial for martyrs on the site. She questioned the choice of location, arguing that the ground serves as a vital community space in a region with limited recreational infrastructure.

“This is the only place in all of Jammu and Kashmir where the police can make something for the martyrs?” she asked.

M***i said the ground plays an important role in the lives of young people who use it for sports and recreational activities. She warned that taking away such spaces could push youth towards detrimental paths.

“This is a ground for the people here. Our young boys and girls, God forbid, may turn to drugs or other wrong things,” she said.
Urging the Director General of Police to intervene, she appealed for the preservation of the ground as a public space.

“I request the DGP to intervene in this. Let this ground remain here. Let the children play,” she said.

She added that the ground is not only used for sports but also for walks by women, social gatherings, and even marriage functions.

“Children play here. Our mothers, children, and young women use it. They even get married here,” she said.

M***i warned that taking over such community spaces could lead to tensions between residents and security agencies.
“If they get hold of this ground, then I think a conflict arises between them, which I don't think is good,” she said.(KNS).

After Pahalgam Attack, Big Film Unit Brings Hope for Kashmir Tourism

Srinagar 01 Oct : After the recent Pahalgam attack, the decline in tourism has been heartbreaking for the valley. In a positive development, the first such large film unit — with nearly 250 members including locals — arrived in Kashmir and successfully shot an ad film in the Gulmarg–Tangmarg area.

The project was carried out freely with the full support of the J&K Police, SHO Tangmarg, Gulmarg authorities, and the CEO of Gulmarg, along with the cooperation of the Indian Army.

Producer Rahi Khan of Real Kashmir Productions expressed gratitude to DC Baramulla, Minga Sherpa, saying:
“Without this support, the project would have been impossible.”

Khan also highlighted the vital role of the CID in granting permissions, acknowledging their support, but stressed the need for timely delivery of official permission orders.
“Film schedules are fixed according to the availability of actors, directors, and technicians, so dates are extremely important. The government should keep shooting permits on a priority basis,” he urged.

He further requested the J&K administration to ease the permission process and reopen scenic locations like Doodhpathri and Yousmarg, adding that:“Shooting in Kashmir always helps boost tourism, and this is the moment we need it most.” (KNS)
