SRINAGAR: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has been under fire for not holding polls in Jammu and Kashmir, declared today that the state would have elections before September. "Jammu and Kashmir Assembly polls will take place prior to September," declared Tarun Chugh, the chief BJP general secretary, on Saturday. According to Chugh, the BJP wants Assembly elections to take place as soon as feasible. He did, however, clarify that the Election Commission of India (ECI) has the last say and that the BJP is ready for polls before September. He pointed to recent bills that give Paharis in the area reservations, praising the BJP for its earlier, model efforts to provide similar privileges to other underprivileged groups like Gujjars.Politicians such as Omar Abdullah, the vice-president of the National Conference, have accused the BJP and the Election Commission of postponing the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections. According to Abdullah, if the region's Assembly elections were held today, the BJP would not even win ten seats. Omar has earlier expressed regret about the Supreme Court's directive to hold Assembly elections before September. "In other words, the EC ought to be embarrassed of itself. The citizens need an apology from the EC. The Supreme Court made the ruling that had to be made. The Indian government ought to have assisted the EC in making the decision to hold elections. However, neither of them seemed to care about it.In its ruling on December 11 of last year, the Supreme Court ruled that Article 370 had been revoked and ordered the Election Commission (EC) to conduct polls in Jammu and Kashmir by September 30. Leading a five-judge Constitution Bench, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud declared that direct elections were an essential component of democracy and could not be excluded.

JAMMU: According to an official, the Crime Branch of the Jammu and Kashmir Police filed a charge sheet here on Saturday against three individuals, including a bank employee, for allegedly defrauding farmers after offering them a significant sum for their produce. According to a crime branch spokesperson, a 604-page charge sheet was filed against two brothers from R S Pura, Sonu and Shashi Gupta (who works for a bank), as well as their neighbour Gourav Gupta, at a local court. He stated that Tirath Singh of Gadi Garh filed a complaint in 2019 alleging that several farmers had been defrauded of their harvest and hard-earned money, which prompted the filing of the case against the accused.Singh claimed that the three men, each managing a separate company, had taken the lion's share of wheat and paddy from nearby farmers, promising them a fat profit, but they never even covered the real expenses, the spokesperson added, embezzling millions of rupees. The official stated that the case was first filed at the R S Pura Police Station and then moved to the Jammu crime branch for a thorough investigation. It was discovered during the investigation that the accused were operating three businesses while Shashi was employed by the J&K Bank and had been collecting farmers' produce. According to the spokesperson, they eventually defrauded the farmers after accepting cash deposits under the false pretence of offering high interest.

JAMMU: Three land mutations that were fraudulently attested have been revoked by District Magistrate Sachin Kumar Vaishya, in violation of Government Order No. 254-C of 1965. The DM issued the order after taking notice of the situation and asking the Tehsildar for an update. The land mutations were related to Khasra Nos. 118, 210, and 210-Min in the village of Dhami, Tehsil Nagrota, where three individuals were granted ownership rights under Government Order No. 254-C of 1965. This order was intended to aid in the rehabilitation of families who had been displaced in 1947, 1965, and 1971. Looking through the revenue records, I discovered that the land in question did not fall within the aforementioned order's provisions because it was classified as State Land with 'Gair Mumkin Passi' soil type, meaning it was not used for agriculture. Furthermore, the territory covered by Khasra No. 210-Min belonged to the Forest Department. The DM duly called the parties who were granted ownership rights to a hearing, but they did not show up. Upon conducting a thorough analysis of the revenue records and reviewing the Tehsildar's report, the DM determined that the contested mutations were fraudulent and unlawful, and as such, were revoked. Within two days, Tehsildar Nagrota was instructed to make the necessary record corrections and turn in a report detailing the actions taken. In order to take the appropriate additional steps, he must also divulge the identities of the delinquent officials who illegally entered the contested mutations.
