However, many of his acquaintances are still in Kashmir and he remains in constant touch with them. Sudhir says that after the removal of Article 370, the face of Kashmir has completely changed. Now big projects are coming on the ground in Kashmir. Kashmiris have started getting the benefits of financial assistance from the Central Government.
