Daily Diary (DD) - Day 293 of 2024
1811hrs:
Even later today to weblog but still a lot better than posting just before midnight.
....
Over a week ago, one of our dear co-citizens requested that I provide them a list of all districts, tehsils (sub-divisions) and lakes throughout the whole of our forcibly divided State of Jammu Kashmir & Allied areas.
Gathering this information has always been a public interest imperative and I suppose this request was an excuse to fulfill this decades old duty.
This list isn't as precise as needs to be, partly because of the scattered nature of information available on the whole State, given its contested nature. There are also differences in definitions of terminology between tehsil and sub-division, which in AJK and Gilgit Baltistan are synonymous while in Ladakh they appear not to be.
The list of lakes in each respective territory are also not complete.
Thus, all the following information is subject to amendment and will be amended in due course, as and when we receive further clarification.
