Srinagar, July 9 -- Several crucial government websites and portals in Jammu Kashmir have been non-operational for the past two months, causing severe inconvenience to needy individuals relying on various social welfare schemes.

The disruption is particularly impacting beneficiaries of the Golden Card and other welfare programs. The Food Supplies department's online portal is also affected, preventing the registration for essential services.

Patients suffering from chronic illnesses have expressed urgent need for Golden Cards to facilitate treatment. However, with the online registration process suspended, they are unable to obtain these cards and are compelled to seek medical care in private hospitals, which many cannot afford.
