Advertisement controversy

In February 2019, the Governor's office indefinitely stopped giving government ads to this paper 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. However the government ads were restored to ''Greater Kashmir'' later on.
