Advertisement controversy

In February 2019, the Governor's office indefinitely stopped giving government ads to this paper^[7][8] as well as to the Kashmir Reader. The Kashmir Editors Guild decried this as an attempt to curb the freedom of the press in India.^[9][10] However the government ads were restored to Greater Kashmir later on.^[11]
