“The Silence That Screams” is a recent piece highlighting the extraordinary courage of Syed Adil Hussain Shah, a young ponywallah from South Kashmir. 

During the Pahalgam terror attack, Adil shielded a group of tourists and lost his life in the process. His bravery could have faded into another tragic headline, but instead, it sparked a rare moment of heartfelt governance. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha personally visited Adil’s family and promised his widow a government job—even bending formal rules to do so.
