Bhaderwah in full bloom! The Manthala Hills, perched at around 8,000 feet, have transformed into a breathtaking carpet of vibrant wild cosmos- pink, white, magenta and orange- adding a magical charm to the autumn landscape along the #Bhaderwah–Jaie road. From wildflowers and foxglove to lavender and marigold, Bhaderwah’s rich floral heritage offers immense potential for flower-based tourism. A perfect season to discover the colourful beauty of Bhaderwah, Jammu & Kashmir’s floral paradise.

Held the 17th All India "Pension Adalat" organised by the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare #DoPPW. At today's Adalat 897 pending cases cum grievances were taken up, out of which 756 cases were redressed on the spot, registering a redressal rate of 84.2 per cent. This reflects the success of the Pension Adalat initiative, which was conceived and undertaken after PM Sh @narendramodi took over in 2014. While the Pension Adalat exercise has brought huge relief to many a senior citizen, it also sometimes provides valuable inputs for improvement in departmental working. There are several success stories. For example, the case of Smt Chander Kanta Jally, whose husband made the supreme sacrifice as a soldier in 1973. She was sanctioned a Liberalised Family Pension. However, due to certain reasons, the family pension paid to her was lower than the amount to which she was entitled. At the Pension Adalat, Sh Jaswinder Jally, her son, joined through video conferencing from Chandigarh and presented the grievance on behalf of his mother. The case was discussed at length. Subsequently, family pension arrears amounting to Rs. 2.02 crore were released.
