Nestled in the Chikar, Azad Jammu Kashmir lies a hidden gem that is both a natural wonder and a testament to the resilience of nature.

Zalzal Lake was formed in 2005 after a devastating earthquake, and has since become a haven for tourists seeking to bask in the beauty of its crystal-clear waters and lush surroundings. However, this natural treasure is facing serious threats that could irreparably damage its fragile ecosystem.

The construction of a road near the lake has increased pollution levels, and the lake is being used as a dumping ground for waste. This pollution not only threatens the health of the lake’s wildlife, but also the safety of visitors who come to enjoy its beauty. Despite these challenges, there are steps that can be taken to protect Zalzal Lake and preserve its natural beauty for generations to come.

One of the most important steps is to ban the dumping of waste in the lake. This will help to reduce pollution levels and ensure that the lake remains a safe and healthy environment for both wildlife and visitors. Additionally, increasing monitoring of the lake’s water quality and promoting sustainable tourism practices in the area can help to reduce the impact of human activity on this fragile ecosystem.

As visitors, we also have a responsibility to protect Zalzal Lake. By learning about the threats facing the lake and taking steps to reduce our own impact on its ecosystem, we can help to preserve this natural wonder for future generations.

Whether it’s through responsible tourism practices or supporting organizations working to protect the lake, we all have a role to play in protecting this hidden gem.

In the end, it’s up to all of us to preserve the beauty of Zalzal Lake. By taking action now, we can ensure that this natural wonder remains a source of inspiration and a testament to the resilience of nature for years to come.

So the next time you plan a trip to the Kashmir Valley, don’t miss the opportunity to visit Zalzal Lake and experience its natural beauty for yourself.

Bagh, Azad Kashmir: The 19th NCMC Conference, a conference of children from Pakistan and Azad Kashmir, was held in Dehrikot from March 1 to 8.

The conference was attended by students from all over the country, who participated in a variety of activities, including trekking, tree planting, and raising awareness about cleanliness.

The Deputy Mayor of Municipal Corporation Bagh, Syed Afraz Gardizi, said that the conference was a welcome development and that it had sent a positive message to Pakistan and the international community. He said that the conference would also create new opportunities for the promotion of tourism in Azad Kashmir.

Camp in-charge Saad Tariq Siddiqui said that the behavior of the local population was exemplary and that activities like NCMC play a fundamental and important role in the training of children. He said that dozens of children participated in the camp who for the first time became part of any training process outside their homes.

Students from Sindh, Punjab, Chitral, Balochistan, and Kashmir presented colorful programs in accordance with the regional culture and presented sketches on the protection of trees and saving electricity.

Syed Afraz Gardizi said that the trees planted by the children from all over the country would remain in these forests in the form of their memorial in the coming time. He said that the love and relationship between the Pakistani people and institutions and the Kashmiri people is everlasting. The Pakistani people have supported the Kashmir cause in every difficult time.

The conference ended with a Cultural Night, where the students presented their cultural performances. The event was attended by a large number of people, including local dignitaries and government officials.

Kashmiri travelers on a journey from Mirpur to the Kishanganga Valley recently made a fascinating discovery in the village of Kashti.

While passing through the Ashkot Bandi area, they noticed some strange and unusual sights on the rocks across the river from the village.

The travelers, Sajid Manan Gurezi and Jamwal Sahib, crossed the river and investigated the rocks. They found an oven-like structure inside a large rock, as well as two large stone pots. The locals told them that the name of the village of Kashti is derived from the name of Kashi Dev, a Hindu god. However, the travelers believe that the structures may have been built by Maharaja Lalitaditya, a Hindu king who ruled Kashmir in the 8th century.

The travelers also spoke to a young policeman who was on duty at the bridge over the Kishanganga River. The policeman was from Bhimber and he was very helpful. He took the travelers’ ID cards and allowed them to cross the river.

The travelers were impressed by the young policeman’s ethics and they are grateful for his help.

They are also excited to share their discovery with the world and they hope that others will be able to visit the village of Kashti and see the mysterious rock formations for themselves.

The travelers’ discovery is a reminder of the rich history and culture of Kashmir. It is also a reminder that there are still many mysteries to be discovered in this beautiful region.

On 13 July 1931, 23 people were killed by the Dogra forces outside the Srinagar Central Jail. The incident was triggered by the arrest of a Pathan named Qadar, who had made an inflammatory speech at a protest rally the previous day.

The protesters were demanding that Qadar’s trial be held in an open court. When the main gate of the jail was opened for the session judge’s car, some people tried to enter the jail with the car. Others tried to climb over the gate after it was closed. The Dogra forces opened fire and 23 people were killed.

This incident is commemorated in Pakistan as Martyrs’ Day. It is a day to remember the sacrifices of the people of Kashmir who fought for their freedom from the Dogra rule.

The author of the article, Chaudhry Siddique, criticizes the way the incident has been portrayed by some Pakistani politicians and religious leaders. He argues that the story of the 23 martyrs has been exaggerated to serve political interests. He points out that it is not possible that 23 people could have been shot while offering prayers, as some people have claimed.

Chaudhry Siddique’s article is a reminder that history should be told accurately and objectively. We should not allow our political or religious beliefs to cloud our judgment of the past. We should remember the martyrs of Kashmir for their courage and sacrifice, and we should work for a day when all people in Kashmir can live in peace and freedom.
