THE Kashmir Solidarity Day is comme- morated each year (Feb 5) with great fervour and enthusiasm in Pakistan and abroad. Various offices of federal and provincial governments arrange various activities to show solidarity with the oppressed people of India-occupied Jummu and Kashmir.

The relevant authorities in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) would do well to conduct study tours for students of higher secondary schools from among those participating in various related activities in Pakistan.

Such tours should include various areas in the valley. These tours will foster a sense of brotherhood and unity among the masses at the grassroots level.
