Context

Apart from the constant debates and discussions over Articles 370 and 35A in the context of Jammu & Kashmir, there are some crucial issues regarding ecology and environment which remain unaddressed by the political leaders

Impact on Environment

Shrinking glaciers
Shrinking waterbodies and streams
Dal and wular became smaller

Problems

I. Shrinking waterbodies
II. Conversion of farmlands
III. Issue over Indus Water
IV. Issue over Hydropower
Kashmir is in Despair
Receding of glaciers
Lack of awareness
J&K faces mass unemployment
People see these development and environment related issues as secondary.

Way Forward

Environmental stability
So the issues of the state’s disappearing water bodies, receding glaciers needs to be openly discussed
Lack of effective administrative redressal can cost not only J&K but the entire region heavily.
