Mumbai, (Maharashtra) [India] November 16: The Nowgam blast shocked many people in Jammu and Kashmir. Farooq Abdullah, a senior leader with a long history in the region, spoke openly after the incident. He said that nothing useful came from Operation Sindoor in the past. He also said that he hoped such steps would not happen again. His words came with a request for better India Pakistan relations. He reminded everyone that neighbours cannot be changed and peace is always the better road.
Lessons From Handling Explosive Material
The Nowgam blast took place when officers were checking explosive material seized from a terror module in Faridabad. Local staff were trying to take samples. The material was unstable and very risky. Farooq Abdullah said that this was a mistake. He said experts should have been called first. His view was that careless handling can cost lives. The incident reminded people of older times when small errors led to big accidents in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Tragic Night At Nowgam Police Station
The blast happened late at night and killed nine people. Many of them were police officers and forensic staff. They were working on the case for two days. The Jammu and Kashmir DGP explained that the explosive material was sensitive. The sampling needed slow and careful steps. The blast also injured more than thirty people. Houses near the police station were damaged. People in the area recalled similar events from earlier years when sudden blasts shook Srinagar.
Why Operation Sindoor Is Being Questioned Again
Farooq Abdullah spoke about Operation Sindoor and said that it did not give any major result. He remembered how borders were affected and how people suffered. His words brought back memories of past security drives in Jammu and Kashmir. Many residents felt that big operations often created fear but not peace. He said that the focus should be on dialogue. He reminded people of former PM Vajpayee’s belief that friendship with neighbours brings stability.
Call For Peace And Better Relations
The leader said that India and Pakistan must improve talks if peace has to return to the region. He praised past efforts where both sides came closer for some time. He also said that violence only brings loss for families. The Nowgam blast became another reminder that small mistakes with explosive material can turn deadly. Many people felt his message was simple. Peace gives safety. Good relations give hope for a better future for Jammu and Kashmir.
