Later, the Lt Governor also released Dr Ghulam Nabi Haleemโ€™s poetry collection in Kashmiri โ€œRude Harandโ€ meaning- The Rainbow.
The Lt Governor noted that Dr. Haleem has been making a unique effort through his writings to carry forward the values of love, peace, harmony, brotherhood, and Sufi traditions of Jammu Kashmir.
