KASHMIR LIFE (KL):
Your Concerned Citizens Group (CCG) started the Kashmir journey in 2016. In your view, what has changed since then in Kashmir?
YASHWANT SINHA (YS): The geography has changed. The government of India has used geography as a weapon and split the erstwhile state. From a state, we have seen Jammu and Kashmir become a union territory without Ladakh. It is for the first time in history that a state has been downgraded to a UT.
The Concerned Citizens Group claimed that people were still not ready to accept the Centre s decision to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

New Delhi:
Already pulled up the Central government on current economic condition, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) veteran leader Yashwant Sinha lambasted the Narendra Modi-led government on Kashmir situation saying, “India has lost people of the valley emotionally.”
Residents were encouraged to stay indoors during the environmental cleanup.
The action slated to take up to three weeks to complete started Monday at the Crane Creek site where contractors had already built the Heritage Park apartment complex along the intersection of Grant and Burr streets.
The contaminated soil will be collected, loaded onto 10 trucks, and hauled to a site in Osceola County. It s a slight victory, said Joseph McNeil, president of the Concerned Citizens Committee, the group that lobbied Melbourne City Council for the site to be designated for environmental cleanup.
The City Council initially voted unanimously Nov. 13 to designate the property as a brownfield area.
