New Delhi, June 16: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today launched the ‘Reimagining Jammu & Kashmir’, a coffee table book by Photojournalist Ashish Sharma, at New Delhi.
In his address, the Lieutenant Governor commended the Photojournalist Ashish Sharma for factually presenting the continuous changes taking place in Jammu and Kashmir and development in various sectors since abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019.
LG added that under leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi J&K has regained its identity of ‘Paradise’ post 2019 and Ashish Sharma’s watchful photographic journey captures that transformation.
In the history of J&K, 5 August and 6 June will always be remembered. While abrogation of Article 370 on 5 August 2019 paved the way for J&K’s complete integration, 6 June physically connected Kashmir to Kanyakumari and its citizens’ aspirations with national mainstream.
This coffee table book is an attempt to present before the nation the transformation that has taken place in Jammu and Kashmir in the last five years,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor also lauded the significant efforts behind the coffee table book, which remarkably showcases J&K’s extraordinary journey and unprecedented growth across all sectors.
Ms. Meenakshi Lekhi, former Union Minister of State; Shri Ram Bahadur Rai, President IGNCA; Dr Sachchidanand Joshi, Member Secretary, IGNCA; Prof. Ramesh C. Gaur, Director & Head, Kala Nidhi, IGNCA and prominent citizens from all walks of life were present.
