Dr. Shakil A Romshoo, Assoc. Professor at the University of Kashmir, who has been recently awarded the prestigious Kasumigaura International Award for his research work on “Pollution Modelling of Himalayan Lakes” was stopped by the Indian immigration authorities at Delhi International airport from proceeding to China for receiving the award despite Visa from the Chinese Embassy in New Delhi. Dr. Romshoo was to be honoured with the cash prize, medal and citation during a special award Ceremony on 2nd November, 2009 during the 13th World Lake Conference at Wuhan, China. Despite Invitations by the World Lake Organization, Japanese and the Chinese governments, Dr. Romshoo could not make it to China to receive the award as China is disputing the citizenship of the Kashmiris holding Indian Passports and issues visa on a separate document that the Indian Emigration authorities refuse to accept. Despite India’s protests, Chinese embassy officials say that the Visas issued to J&K citizens are correct and valid. The tussle between China and India over the issue is adversely affecting business and career prospectus of hundreds of J&K citizens who are not allowed to travel to China for studies or business.
