‘The administration's arbitrary order to disallow PDP from holding youth convention and putting Mehbooba Mufti under house arrest is anarchical,’ says PDP youth leader.
The Jammu and Kashmir authorities have denied permission to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to hold its youth convention at the residence of party president Mehbooba Mufti in Srinagar.
“The administration's arbitrary order to disallow PDP from holding youth convention and putting Ms. Mufti under house arrest is anarchical. Putting curbs in the name of COVID-19 only when PDP connects with its cadre and masses means it unnerves the rulers in Delhi and J&K,” PDP youth leader Mohit Bhan said.
Ms. Mufti was scheduled to chair a meeting of its youth leaders and activists at 11 a.m. at her residence in Gupkar, Srinagar.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
