This is perfect as now people of J & K and Ladakh will be part of All India Radio network, long time coming. Its shameful that Congress party over the last 7 decades festered and let the problem multiply by keeping the corrupt Kashmiri politicians hostage to the separatists thereby strangling any democratic and ecomomic progress the state and the citizens there should have enjoyed. They were sold a misfit of dream and article 370 removal has firmly oblitereted the doubt as to where it belongs. More soft power, business and safe torism will surely improve their lot
