Omar Abdullah Launches Real Kashmir FC 'Peace Jersey' With Hummel in Srinagar

The chief minister used the unveiling to argue that only a stable security climate will allow tourism and sport to grow.

Overview

  • At the TRC Ground, Abdullah said peace is a prerequisite for development and questioned who would play evening matches without a stable situation.
  • Responding to questions on security, he said establishing peace is not his government’s domain and those responsible must deliver, a day after LG Manoj Sinha spoke of remaining terror remnants.
  • The special-edition kit draws on Hari Parbat’s symbolism with a sky-blue base, mountain and dove motifs, and is available online starting September 21.
  • Abdullah highlighted ongoing investments in sports facilities and invited runners nationwide to the Kashmir marathon scheduled for November 2.
  • He said fruit-crop losses from the recent highway closure are being assessed for compensation and noted a 300-metre washed-out stretch is yet to be black-topped, though no vehicles are currently stranded.
