Even flowers started blooming on trees much earlier than usual,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nHe further noted that the early blooming of flowers has also led to the early opening of the Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden Opening at the Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden, which he said reflects how climate change is affecting natural cycles.<br \/>\nOmar said such environmental changes will also have an impact on cold-water fisheries, making it essential to adopt innovative approaches and learn from best practices across the country.<br \/>\nHe said hosting the conference in Kashmir provides an opportunity to exchange experiences with other hill states such as Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand as well as states in the Northeast India.<br \/>\nHighlighting Kashmir\u2019s long association with trout farming, Abdullah said the region has more than a century of experience in the sector since trout was first introduced in 1900.<br \/>\n\u201cOur 126-year experience should not go to waste. We must share our knowledge and also learn what others are doing better,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nThe Chief Minister expressed hope that with focused attention and policy support, India will continue to strengthen its position among leading fish-producing nations while Jammu and Kashmir secures a special place in cold-water fisheries.<br \/>\nHe further welcomed the delegates participating in the conference and said such platforms would help stakeholders learn from each other and collectively move towards strengthening the sector<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_35652\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-35652\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-35652\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Omar-1-1536x864-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Climate Change Impacting Kashmir\u2019s Ecosystem: CM Omar\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Omar-1-1536x864-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Omar-1-1536x864-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Omar-1-1536x864-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Omar-1-1536x864-1-549x309.jpg 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Omar-1-1536x864-1-470x264.jpg 470w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Omar-1-1536x864-1-233x131.jpg 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Omar-1-1536x864-1-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Omar-1-1536x864-1-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Omar-1-1536x864-1-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Omar-1-1536x864-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-35652\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Climate Change Impacting Kashmir\u2019s Ecosystem: CM Omar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SRINAGAR, Mar 14: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday stressed the need to adopt scientific research, modern technology and sustainable practices to strengthen cold-water fisheries in Jammu and Kashmir while safeguarding natural resources.
