How Kashmir Reclaimed Peace Through People’s Power I believe that this peace is not self-generated. I believe that this peace has not been born in itself but the people, that is, the common citizens and every Kashmiri present in this auditorium, are the heartbeat of this peace, said the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu & Kashmir, Shri Manoj Sinha. And this has shaped peace through their hard work and dedication and a life dedicated to the welfare of humanity.
Within five to four years, an attempt has been made to build a Jammu and Kashmir where the sounds of songs and valleys are heard, not bullets, on the hills and ravines. Where the school walls resonate not with the clash of stones but with the laughter of children and the virtues of education. Pulwama, once shrouded in silence, now appears to be a cultural and literary hub for the youth. Markets like Lal Chowk and Polo View are no longer deserted but are thriving with their vibrancy. New hope and new aspirations are floating on the waves of development, not terror. Today, I also want to make another request to the public, LG said. Never let ideals disappear from your consciousness. Jammu and Kashmir has achieved this position today through great sacrifices and hard work in the last five-six years. It is not known how many Jammu Kashmir Police, Army, Central Security Forces or many citizens here, people from civil administration, this situation could be achieved only after huge sacrifices.
We have to keep alive the memory of those companions who gave us and you the opportunity to breathe in the open air and gave the supreme sacrifice of their lives for the peace of our nights. Their sacrifice will serve as a source of peace and development for you. This effort must continue, said the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu & Kashmir, Shri Manoj Sinha.
