Many young individuals from the Pahalgam region have been requesting me that they want to organize a blood donation camp to support blood banks and aid those in need.

Many young individuals from the Pahalgam region have been requesting me that they want to organize a blood donation camp to support blood banks and aid those in need. 
Today, I had a conversation with the Chief Medical Officer of Anantnag, and he has agreed to support this initiative. 
He informed me that a camp will be established at the Pahalgam Hospital soon, where local youth can donate blood. 
I hope all the youth from my area will come forward to donate blood for the sake of humanity and mankind. 
In Islam, donating blood is generally considered a noble and commendable act, aligning with the core Islamic principles of saving lives, helping others in need, and demonstrating compassion. The Holy Qur'an states. 💕

Voice of the Valley: Mushtaq Pahalgami

Voice of the Valley: Mushtaq Pahalgami

In the land where rivers write old songs,
Where cedar trees have stood for long,
A voice rose up, calm yet strong—
To right the silent, age-old wrong.

Not with swords, nor with might,
But words that burn and hearts that light,
He walked the trails where few would tread,
Where fear was thick, and hope had fled.

He spoke of rights, of truth, of care,
Of forests stolen, skies unfair.
He stood for those whose voices cracked,
Whose dreams were bruised, whose power lacked .

Against the greed that scars the green,
He stands—a force, calm but keen.
For every child, for every tree,
He writes a song of dignity.

A guardian of his mountain land,
With paper, passion, heart, and hand.
Not fame, not gold, he sought to claim,
But justice whispered in his name.

Mushtaq—activist, fierce and true,
The wind of change, the morning dew.
In the valley , his echo stays—
A light that cuts through darkest days.
