A Jammu business leader told MIET students to build at home. The public loan numbers show a pipeline that is improving but sanctions about a quarter of applications.
One report says 4,715 scholarships, another 13,794 beneficiaries. Neither says what it counts. What to ask before you plan around either.
J&K has fixed a 21-day limit for key services. The 2011 law behind it has appeals and fines; earlier reports show where enforcement fell short. What to watch.
Fewer accidents but more deaths in 2025, a threefold jump in pedestrian deaths, and thousands of riders booked in Jammu's belt. What to take from the numbers.
A Northern Regional Power Committee projection puts J&K and Ladakh 400 MW short this October. What a forecast gap is, what it is not, and what to ask next.

MBBS and BDS interns across J&K have been on strike for a week over a stipend frozen since roughly 2020. Here's what they're asking for, why the delay, and where the political consensus actually sits.
J&K's new electricity tariffs took effect September 1. Set against Delhi's and Mumbai's own slabs, Jammu's base rate still comes out lower — though the comparison isn't as clean as it sounds.
A Kathua town gave Indian art its most electric colour — and a GI tag in 2023. Its masterpieces now hang in New York, London and Zurich. What would it take to bring the value home?
A locked treasury reopened in 2025 and stalled again. Twenty years of plans, crores and missed deadlines later, here is the full story of the Dogra palace above the Tawi.
