Decline of insurgency paves way for development in Tripura's Kambhukcherra village

Tripura, June 04 (ANI): Situated along the Indo-Bangladesh border area, between West Tripura and Khowai districts, Kambhukcherra village was once severely affected by militancy.

With the return of peace, the remote tribal village has been witnessing rapid development. The implementation of several welfare schemes, like the MGNREGA and the Indira Awaz yojana, has improved the living standard of the people. The government has also been providing irrigation facilities to the people. The villagers now have access to electricity and clean drinking water. Jun 4, 2014

Kashmir, June 2 (ANI): Kashmir has often been described as a paradise on earth. Not just for its natural beauty, but also for its unique culture. The way of life in Kashmir has evolved through centuries and is a synthesis of a variety of cultures and religious influences, which have given birth to an ethos, known as Kashmiriyat. One such example comes from Trehgam village near Kupwara district of north Kashmir where a 400-year-old temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, a shrine of great Sufi saint Syed Ibrahim Bukhari and Grand mosque (Jamia Masjid) are situated in a row and a famous pond in front of them is the main source of water for almost half a dozen nearby villages.
