The recent announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan has sent shockwaves across the globe, bringing hope of peace and tranquility to the war-torn regions of Jammu and Kashmir. The ceasefire, which came into effect on February 25, has been hailed as a significant step towards reducing tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
In the midst of this development, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has welcomed the announcement, terming it “better late than never”. Speaking to the media, CM Omar emphasized that had the ceasefire occurred two days earlier, the recent bout of violence and bloodshed might have been avoided.
The announcement of the ceasefire came after a series of violent incidents along the Line of Control (LoC), which has been a flashpoint for tensions between India and Pakistan. The recent escalation in violence had resulted in the loss of precious lives, leaving a trail of destruction and despair in its wake.
The Jammu and Kashmir administration has been working tirelessly to provide relief to the affected families and civilians, who have been caught in the crossfire. CM Omar has reiterated that it is now the responsibility of the administration to begin providing relief to the people without delay.
“We wholeheartedly welcome the ceasefire announcement,” CM Omar said. “It’s better late than never. Had it happened two days earlier, we might have avoided the bloodshed and the precious lives lost. Now, it’s the responsibility of J&K administration to begin providing relief to the people without delay.”
The ceasefire announcement has been welcomed by all sections of society in Jammu and Kashmir, who have been reeling under the impact of the violence. The people of the region have been demanding an end to the bloodshed and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
The government of Jammu and Kashmir has been working closely with the central government to provide relief to the affected families and civilians. The administration has set up relief camps and is providing food, shelter, and medical aid to those in need.
The ceasefire announcement has also been welcomed by the international community, who have been calling for an end to the violence and a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The United Nations Secretary-General has urged both India and Pakistan to work towards a peaceful resolution, while the international community has condemned the violence and called for restraint.
