J&K has not come to normal yet: CM Omar Abdullah reacts to Home Minister's remarks

Srinagar, Jan 03: The Jammu and Kashmir chief minister on Friday said that the J&K was yet to come to the normal as reports about the attacks were still coming from different parts of Jammu and Kashmir.

The CM Omar Abdullah was responding to the remarks of Home Minister Amit Shah that Article 370 was giving space to separatism and post abrogation of Article, J&K completely integrated with India.

"We still receive reports of attacks from different places. Even today, Jammu and Kashmir is yet to see complete normalcy. Nevertheless, it is a process and let us see what happens in the future," Omar Abdullah told reporters.

About the steps taken to improve the electricity supply, the chief minister said the government was giving its best as much as can be done.

"This year, electricity is better than last year. But there are some cuts we acknowledge that. We are trying to provide electricity as per the schedule. We see cuts in the electricity supply when there is a problem in the system. But we will fix it as soon as possible," he said.

About the government preparations for the winter season, the chief minister said that the government was ready and will deal it with it.

"We convened meetings many times. And after the last snowfall, we have gained some experience. Wherever we did well, similar things will be repeated and if there were some shortcomings or weaknesses, those will be corrected," he said.

The chief minister further dispelled the rumours about changing the name of Kashmir valley.

"There is no such thing. I think it was a channel or newspaper which reported it and later they clarified it as well. There is no such thing and this cannot happen without the permission of the J&K government," CM Omar Abdullah said.
