SRINAGAR: Following Srinagar's prestigious recognition as a World Craft City, Director Handicrafts and Handloom Kashmir, convened an important meeting at the office conference hall. The participants of the meeting included prominent dealers and showroom owners from the Srinagar-Narbal-Tangmarg-Gulmarg tourist corridor.
The stakeholders were urged to avoid malpractices and misbranding of handmade products, specifically warning against selling and marketing machine-made merchandise under the handmade tag. This practice has led to considerable mistrust and erosion of the "Brand Kashmir".
Despite the department's best efforts and the submission of undertakings by showroom owners to promote GI-certified products and properly tag machine-made merchandise, violations continue to be reported. The department has received several complaints about showroom owners paying hefty commissions to taxi operators directing tourists to their shops, potentially misleading customers about the authenticity of the products.
The Dir stressed the need for transparency and urged the promotion of GI-certified and labeled products. The meeting also served as a platform to discuss and strategize initiatives for promoting and strengthening the handicrafts sector.
Emphasis was placed on cultural preservation and finding ways for dealers to help eliminate violations, such as selling machine-made products, misrepresenting origins and using substandard materials. The department warned that it would be taking strict action against those not adhering to the rules governing the sector.
The Dir emphasized that the global recognition is not just an honor but a powerful validation of the artisans' centuries-old legacy. The focus now is to leverage this recognition to expand international exposure for Kashmiri handicrafts, strengthen the economic status of artisans, and safeguard cultural heritage.
The department has been lately emphasizing the promotion of genuine handmade products and is working tirelessly to transform Srinagar's recognition into substantial benefits for the local community, ensuring the continued flourishing of Srinagar's handicrafts sector post its declaration as a creative city in the field of Crafts and Folk Arts, in addition to earning the World Craft City tag from the World Crafts Council.
JAMMU: BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh, who is also the party incharge for J&K, paid a rich tribute to the five soldiers who died in a militant attack in Kathua region and said "it was a sign of Pakistan ISI's nervous reaction to the peace and development that has come about in J&K during the tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi".
Reacting strongly to the targeted attacks being made on the soldiers, Chugh said it reflected panic and desperations among the ISI-sponsored ranks. He said ever since the peaceful Lok Sabha elections in J&K there has been a calculated design to challenge the law and order situation in J&K. The Pakistan ISI-sponsored anti-national forces would be decisively defeated, said Chugh adding that the pace of development and progress in the union territory would not be allowed to slow down in any case.
"I extend my heartfelt condolences to the families of our brave soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Their martyrdom will not go in vain. This heinous act is a stark reminder of the evil forces that seek to disrupt peace and stability in our region", said Chugh.
The people here have given a befitting reply to Pakistan, which is reflected in the high voter turnout in the recent Lok Sabha elections. This is a big slap on the face of Pakistan, as the Kashmiri people are now standing with India.
He said people of J&K want to move fast on the path of growth and development and it was amply reflected in the high turn-out of voters in the last Lok Sabha election here. Chugh promised that the security forces have unleashed a relentless war against terrorists and it would usher in a new era in J&K.
