[edit] POV

'Currently, the issue of Srinagar, having become an integral part of India, stands settled beyond any doubt, in spite of certain insurgent elements operating from the soil of India, as also from outside the borders of India.'

I think much more needs to be mention about the insurgency... dealing with it in a single sentence is bypassing a major issue, and disrespect for the many people, both soldiers and civilains, who have died due to the conflict there... All I'm askng for is extending the history of the city discribe what happened there in the last 20 years.

Another point is there no mention about the impact of the insurgency on tourism in the history section or about it limping back on growing domestic tourists population.

'truth always triumphs' (written on the Indian national emblem)

From Foreign and Comonwealth office. On 1 June 2006, 26 tourists were injured in two grenade attacks against their buses near Dal Lake, Srinagar.

On 21 May 2006, six persons were killed and 35 others injured when militants attacked a political rally in central Srinagar. On 1 May 2006, 35 civilians were kidnapped and murdered by militants in Doda district of in Indian-administered Kashmir. On 27 April 2006, seven tourists and nine local residents were injured, one of them critically, in a grenade blast at the bus terminus in Pahalgam, a tourist resort 96km south of Srinagar. On 14 April 2006, seven separate grenade attacks in central attacks in central Srinagar left five dead and 46 others injured. On 2 November 2005, a car bomb on the outskirts of Srinagar, which killed six and injured 16 people.

[edit] Who are these people?

I have lived my entire life in Srinagar and I have never heard the names of the following people which have been listed as leaders of Srinagar:

1. Dr Agnishekhar
2. Dr Ajay Chrangoo
3. Mr Ashwani Chrangoo
4. Dr Utpal Kaul
5. Dr KL Chowdhary

They might have their roots in Srinagar but they sure enough do not qualify to be called "Current leaders of the city"

1. Dr Shakti Bhan is a doctor, a well know one, but by no way a Leader!

Are people trying to create true and honest information on Srinagar or are we fighting to whom Srinagar belongs. And since Srinagar is the capital of a disputed territory, it should be put as such.
