Former Jammu & Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah said on Thursday that the state government is "walking on a razor's edge" as it grapples with mounting financial constraints. He made the remarks during a press briefing in Srinagar, highlighting the strain on public finances amid a slowdown in revenue inflows. Abdullah warned that the fiscal squeeze could jeopardise essential services and development projects if not addressed promptly. The comment comes as the government seeks additional funding from the central government to meet its budgetary commitments.
