Office of Salman Sagar

Participated in the District-Level-Kissan Mela and Khet Bachao Abhiyan awareness program organised under Khet Bachao Abhiyan at Harwan, Srinagar in presence of Honble Minister Javid Ahmad Dar (@JavedDar_NC). The Mela provided an important platform for direct interaction with farmers, agricultural experts and departmental functionaries, showcasing improved agricultural technologies, farm machinery and farmer-centric interventions. This was followed with a visit to Sheep Farm Khimber for distribution of high gene merit imported Texel rams among progressive farmers of various districts of Kashmir. @MLAHAZRATBAL @IrfanZehgeer

Busy predicting the NC’s collapse, oblivious to their own political implosion. For months, the opposition has been counting imaginary rebels in the @JKNC_ and predicting its collapse. The only thing that seems to be collapsing is the credibility of those making these predictions. Perhaps it’s time they stopped manufacturing cracks in other parties and started examining the fractures in their own political relevance. #Victory @JKNC_ ✌️

Heartfelt congratulations to my respected Al Haaj Jinab Ali Mohd Sagar Sahab on his oath-taking ceremony today at Lok Bhawan Srinagar. It was a proud and memorable moment to witness this special occasion in the presence of our esteemed Party President Dr. Farooq Abdullah Sahab and Hon’ble @CM_JnK Wishing Haji Sahab continued success and strength in this new chapter of his journey. May he continue to serve the people with the same sincerity, dedication and compassion, earning their love and trust at every step. My heartfelt best wishes for a successful and meaningful tenure ahead. @JKNC_

Inaugurated the Marwah Cricket Academy on 90 Feet Road marking a positive step towards promoting sports and nurturing young cricketing talent in Hazratbal. Sports academies play a vital role in providing aspiring cricketers with the right platform, professional guidance and opportunities to excel. I hope this initiative will inspire our youth to pursue their sporting ambitions and bring laurels to the constituency. Wishing the academy great success in its journey ahead ! @MLAHAZRATBAL @IrfanZehgeer

As desired by Hon’ble MLA Khanyar @AliMSagar, I distributed relief cheques from the Constituency Development Fund to the fire-affected families of Tabardar Mohalla, Khanyar today. This is one among the many assistances MLA Khanyar has consistently extended to his constituents. We stand firmly with our people in their hour of need. Very special thanks to @abidwani_ for coordinating with office of @srinagaradmin for release & distribution of financial assistance under (CDF DBT) as per the direction’s of honourable @mla_khanyar

Along with officials of various departments today reviewed the preparations ahead of Urs E Mubarak of Hazrat Ahmed Sahib Batwari (RA) at Ahmed Nagar. Directed officials to ensure proper arrangements during the Urs days and facilitate convinience for people coming to pay obeisance on the revered saint's shrine. During my visit, i also took stock of various undergoing developmental works around the premises of the shrine. @MLAHAZRATBAL @IrfanZehgeer

The ecological decline of Anchar Lake is a sobering reminder that environmental degradation is not merely a loss of natural heritage; it is a failure of stewardship with lasting consequences for future generations. I express my sincere gratitude to House Committee Chairman on Environment Jinab M. Y. Tarigami Sahab and all fellow members, including our senior leader @MubarakGul_ sahab & other Members (Hon’ble MLA’s )for their collective commitment to this vital cause besides senior officials of district Srinagar. The task before us demands more than inspections, it calls for scientific restoration, institutional accountability and sustained action. Protecting Kashmir’s lakes is a collective responsibility and a moral obligation to those who will inherit this land. Together we can and together we will.

The sanctity of the pulpit lies in its independence. In Kashmir, where faith has historically been central to our social and moral life, religious guidance must remain the responsibility of qualified scholars beyond the domain of Waqf, guided by conscience and religious principles not by the considerations of stipend (Hadee) The Waqf Board’s role is administration and not dictating sermons. Institutional authority must know its limits, especially when it comes to matters of faith. #NoCompromise

Accompanied @mla_khanyar Haji sahab @AliMSagar_ as he inaugurated developmental works worth Rs 2.78 crore in Khanyar constituency Projects include: • Footpath, drains & beautification (Dalgate to Brane-Nishat) – Rs 1.68 Cr • New NTPHC block at Theed – Ra 40 Lakh • Bridges & roads at Theed, Mulnar & Harwan – Rs 70 Lakhs People are elated with such prompt response to developmental exigencies. @JKNC_ @abidwani_

The reports suggesting an attempt to exercise control over Friday sermons in Kashmir's mosques are a matter of grave concern and call for serious reflection. Have we reached a point where even the words spoken from the pulpit of a mosque are to be subjected to political scrutiny? Will @BJP4India now determine the subjects our Imams may address, the concerns they may raise and the issues they must remain silent about? A mosque is not an instrument of political messaging, nor can its pulpit become a mouthpiece for any government or political organisation. As a Muslim who believes in moderation, tolerance and mutual respect, I find the prospect of such intrusion into our religious space profoundly disturbing. This is not about promoting extremism or resisting accountability. It is about safeguarding the fundamental right of religious communities to practise and articulate their faith without political dictates. Our Imams and religious scholars carry a responsibility towards their faith and society. Their sermons must be shaped by religious teachings, moral values and the needs of the community, not by instructions originating from political corridors. There must be a clear distinction between the authority of the State and the sanctity of religious institutions. Crossing that boundary would set a deeply worrying precedent. @drdarakhshan

Today, I inaugurated the much-awaited water supply augmentation schemes at Nowhatta, Gojwara and Kathi Darwaza. These schemes will enhance the quality of potable water supply to hundreds of households in the area. Locals expressed gratitude to @mla_khanyar Adv. Haji @AliMSagar_ sahab for his people-oriented work in the constituency and he remains committed to addressing the essential needs of the people of Khanyar. @abidwani_

Visited Jenab Sahab Soura, Anchar & adjoining areas and interacted with locals alongside PHE, I&FC and LCMA officials to review public issues in detail. Glad to share that the new OHT is expected to be commissioned next month, augmenting water supply to Tiploo Mohalla, Shalbaf Mohalla, Manz Mohalla, Dawood Mohalla and adjoining areas. Other concerns were also taken up, with on-the-spot directions issued to the concerned departments for preparing proposals and ensuring early execution. Committed to addressing public concerns through sustained follow-up and timely action. @MLAHAZRATBAL @IrfanZehgeer
