Mirwaiz Urges Protection of Jammu and Kashmir’s Fragile Himalayan Ecosystem After Nepal Floods
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq highlighted Nepal's recent flash floods as a warning for Jammu and Kashmir's fragile Himalayan ecosystem.

He urged for scientific environmental safeguards and cautioned against encroachment on wetlands, noting the shrinking Dal Lake as an example of ecological neglect threatening local communities and future sustainability.
