J&K Government signs MoU with NAFED for High-Density Plantation of Horticulture produce
After decisively changing the political structure of Jammu and Kashmir, the union government has now shifted gears to focus on the economy. Considering that the Parliament was informed that Article 370 and Article 35A were abolished to remove the roadblocks to the economic development of Kashmir, the slew of economic policy measure announced over the last three months were expected for some time now.
There is no denying the fact that BJP is transforming the nation-state from an accommodating (read, “soft state”) to a hard state, more so vis-a-vis Kashmir. What this meant in political terms has already been seen. On the economy front, the intention seems to be to replace the “granny state which doles out goodies” by a hardnosed development state which gets a bang for every buck. No quarrels with that.

Daily Excelsior reported
around 100 politicians, political workers, anti-India leaders and OGW’s of militants will face “preventive” detention or will be booked under the Public Safety Act (PSA). The new drive, it said is being launched by the administration to prevent “breach of peace.” Interestingly, these days mainstream politicians are more on radar than the separatists. In the last few weeks, police have already arrested three senior PDP leaders, a day before the counting of votes in DDC polls and one NC leader from south Kashmir, after the declaration of results. The detained leaders, officials said are under preventive detention under section 107/151 CrPC as there were apprehensions of “breach of peace.”
