J&K India’s Top State In Online Services, Surpasses MP: LG
Delhi: Jammu and Kashmir is making rapid progress in various sectors and has surpassed Madhya Pradesh in providing online services becoming number one in India, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Monday.
Sinha further said that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir was generally normal and on the path of progress, with the government taking various measures since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
The recent terror incidents in the Union territory were just efforts by the anti-India forces backed by Pakistan to start a discussion all over the world to claim that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir is still not normal, he added.
Sinha was addressing an event organised by the Bharat Prakashan, which publishes the Organiser and Panchjanya magazines inspired by the "permanent peace".

The LG said that despite the fact that the terrorism was on its deathbed in J&K, the adversary continues with its efforts to fuel terrorism. “But the plan has been rolled out to not just root out terrorism but to dismantle its entire ecosystem,” he said, adding that the GoI is establishing
