Better Late than Never, I Welcome it: J&K CM on Indo-Pak Ceasefire
The announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan has been met with mixed reactions from various quarters. While some have hailed it as a step towards peace and stability, others have expressed skepticism about the long-term effectiveness of the move. However, the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, has welcomed the development with open arms, stating that it is “better late than never”.
In a statement, CM Omar expressed his wholehearted welcome for the ceasefire announcement, emphasizing that it is a step in the right direction for peace and stability in the region. He acknowledged that the timing of the announcement was crucial, stating that had it happened two days earlier, the bloodshed and loss of precious lives could have been avoided.
The ceasefire announcement came after a series of violent incidents along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the loss of several lives and injuries to many others. The escalation of violence had raised concerns about the potential for further escalation and the impact it could have on the region’s fragile peace.
CM Omar’s statement is a reflection of the sentiments of many people in Jammu and Kashmir who have been affected by the violence. The people of the region have been living in constant fear of violence and have been demanding an end to the bloodshed. The ceasefire announcement has brought hope to many that a new era of peace and stability is on the horizon.
The J&K administration has a crucial role to play in ensuring that the ceasefire holds and that the people of the region can live without fear of violence. CM Omar has urged the administration to begin providing relief to the people without delay, emphasizing that it is the responsibility of the administration to provide assistance to those affected by the violence.
The administration has already taken several steps to provide relief to the affected families, including providing financial assistance and medical care to those in need. However, more needs to be done to ensure that the people of the region can rebuild their lives and resume their normal activities.
The ceasefire announcement is not only a welcome development for the people of Jammu and Kashmir but also for the entire nation. India and Pakistan have a long history of conflict, and the announcement of a ceasefire is a significant step towards reducing tensions between the two countries.
The ceasefire is a significant development in the context of the ongoing peace talks between India and Pakistan. The two countries have been engaged in talks for several years, and the ceasefire announcement is a sign that the talks are bearing fruit.

The government has also been working towards promoting economic development in the region, recognizing that economic development is essential for promoting peace and stability. Several initiatives have been launched to promote tourism, agriculture, and other sectors of the economy, with the aim of creating employment opportunities and improving the standard of living for the people of the region.
In conclusion, the announcement of a ceasefire between India and Pakistan is a significant development that has been welcomed by the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the entire nation.
