On his one-day trip to inaugurate the 330-MW Kishenganga Power Project in north Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked the youths to join the mainstream

Disturbed by the youth resorting to violence in Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urged the youth, who have joined militancy or are involved in stone throwing, to shun violence and join the mainstream.

Modi, who was on a day’s visit to Kashmir in May to dedicate to the nation the 330-MW Kishenganga Power Project constructed in the Gurez area of North Kashmir, asked the people of Jammu and Kashmir to make efforts to come out of instability. He said that every stone and weapon raised by misguided youths destabilises Jammu and Kashmir and the country. “The State will have to come out of this atmosphere of instability”, he said.
