Cinema halls in Anantnag, Srinagar, Bandipora, Ganderbal, Doda, Rajouri, Poonch, Kishtwar, and Reasi will be inaugurated soon. The Lt Governor dedicated the multipurpose cinema halls of Pulwama and Shopian to the people, especially the younger generation of Kashmir who has waited for a long time for this moment.

He shared the government`s vision to establish similar multipurpose cinema halls in every district of the UT under Mission Youth. ‘Cinema is a powerful creative medium that reflects the culture, values, and aspirations of the people. It opens the door to the world of knowledge, discoveries, enables people to get a better understanding of each other`s culture,’ he said.

J&K has a long association with the world of cinema. The new film policy and facilities created have once again made J&K the favorite shooting destination and brought back the golden era of film-making in the UT, Sinha said.
