Baisakhi is one of the festivals which is celebrated across the country. In Jammu, too, it was celebrated with great enthusiasm. The biggest flood channel of the Kashmir valley has shrunk. For the last two decades, most water bodies in the valley have been shrinking due to encroachments and government negligence. People fear that this will have a negative impact on the region. The main roads in South Kashmir’s Anantnag district are in pathetic condition, making any vehicular movement extremely difficult. May 1, 2014
