Newspaper ban
In February 2019, the Governor's office indefinitely stopped giving government ads to this paper as well as to the Kashmir Reader. The "Kashmir Editors Guild" decried this as an attempt to curb the free press in India.[8][9] However the government ads were restored to the Greater Kashmir newspaper later on.[10]
