Once hit by terrorist activities, J&K’s Baramulla is now witnessing a holistic development. J&K LG Manoj Sinha on July 15 inaugurated a multipurpose cinema hall in the Sheer Wani community hall of Baramulla. The locals welcomed this step by LG, as earlier, they had to go to Jammu to watch a movie in a theatre. A local said, “It is fun to watch movie in a theatre. This cinema will also generate employment in the area. There used to be cinemas in our ancestors’ time, now the younger generation here will enjoy it. Many used to go to Jammu if they had to watch a movie, but now it has opened here, it is a good step.” Arshid Hussain, Member, District Development Council, said, “We welcome this step, we want Jammu & Kashmir to be the number one UT. We never saw any theatre in Baramulla, but now it has been inaugurated. This shows that Baramulla district is developing. We want to thank PM Modi as after abrogation of article 370, a lot of development has been witnessed in J&K.”
