1. After the establishment of the ‘Jammu-Kashmir Film Development Council’ in 2021, the obstacles in the shooting of films have been removed.

2. Since the beginning of the 90s, Jihadi terrorism in Kashmir had almost stopped the filming of films. Now that the situation there has improved considerably, South Indian producers and Bollywood producers are also filming there. Also, this has provided jobs to more than 1,000 local artists.

3. The filmmakers are now filming in the traditional locations of Kashmir like Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Dal Sarovar, and Gurez in Bandipora along with Wular, Dudhpathari, Yoshmarg, etc.

Editorial Viewpoints

• Western media houses like BBC, New York Times, and Washington Post, which are raising concerns that the Indian Government is oppressing the Kashmiri people, must now report on this situation !
• Along with this, Hindus will remain safe in Kashmir valley only if concrete steps are taken for the safe resettlement of Kashmiri Hindus there !
