J&K: If children can go for tuitions, why not to schools?

Normalization is crucial to the restoration of statehood, and as soon as it returns to the Vale, the administration will be able to keep its pledge.

The speed with which Jammu and Kashmir regain independence will be determined by how quickly normalcy returns to the Valley, which has been portrayed in opposing pictures since the repeal of Article 370 on August 5. Normalization is crucial to the restoration of statehood, and as soon as it returns to the Vale, the administration will be able to keep its pledge.

On Tuesday, a high-ranking insider told The Tribune, “Confrontation will yield nothing.” On August 5, the Centre revoked the state’s unique status under Article 370 and proclaimed that it would no longer be a state. Later, the J&K Re-organisation Act stated that the state will be divided into two union territories, one for Ladakh and the other for the rest of Jammu and Kashmir’s Himalayan state. On October 31, two UTs will be born.

While there was animosity in some areas, namely in the Valley, there was widespread anger in the existing state of Jammu and Kashmir, with the exception of Buddhists in the frigid desert region of Ladakh, who had been requesting UT status for their territory for over 30 years.

“The government is cognizant of the pain felt by residents in the Valley and the Jammu region as a result of the state’s conversion to UT. The residents of the Valley will have to demonstrate their passion for a normal life by opening businesses from dawn to evening, sending their children to school, and engaging in other normal activities,” a source familiar with the Centre’s thinking remarked.

The state administration, on the other hand, was said to have made every effort to return the Valley to normalcy, with stores open in the morning and evening hours and schools open but no kids present.

The administration also sees withdrawing the travel warning for tourists urging them to visit the Valley as a “major confidence-building gesture” that will take effect on October 10. This indicates that the government is becoming more open, according to the insider, who added that the opening of mobile phones and the relaxation of communication restrictions were also key. “We’ll take it one step at a time and see how it goes,” the insider said. When confrontation is considered as the only way out, problems occur. “That is not the case,” the insider stated.

“The schools should be completely full. Why can’t youngsters go to school if they can go to tuition? They are jeopardizing their children’s future. Working under the influence of Pakistan or its constituency, in actuality, will not assist the situation,” the insider added.
