Those who lure boys into militancy are real culprits: DGP

SRINAGAR: According to Director General of Police (DGP) RR Swain, the young boys are the victims and the true offenders are those who entice them to become militants. On the fringes of the Public Darbar in Baramulla, Swain said reporters that they wanted young people to protect themselves from drugs and militancy. "The Imams of the Masjids and the Civil Society are accountable. We consider those who support terrorism as our victims; the true offenders are those who provide them money, arms, and deceive them," he declared.According to the DGP, he has repeatedly stated that the small child who picked up the rifle without having any facial hair is a victim. "The one who gives this young lad the pistol and the money is the one who is really at fault. "We intend to pursue those who deceive these impressionable minds," he continued. According to Swain, the Police are coming up with a novel plan to eradicate this epidemic. "As you can see, we have a plan in place to make sure that no young person in J&K joins the terrorist organisation. To ensure the plan's success, we are in contact with Masjid leaders, educators, parents, and members of civic society," the DGP stated.He described the phenomenon of narco-terrorism as a significant concern, noting that while therapy for victims was formerly thought to be necessary, it has recently become apparent that addicts also act as peddlers. "Our goal is to apprehend the large fish that feed drugs to drug addicts. Regarding the desire for more drug treatment facilities, the DGP stated, "We will meet with the Chief Secretary and the Secretary of Health and Medical Education to present our proposal for the establishment of additional drug treatment facilities. Regarding the public darbars, he noted that people's concerns vary widely, including land disputes, police investigation delays, and questions about previous inquiries, even among those connected to the police family. "I'm taking care of Police Headquarters-related issues right away. It takes some time to handle cases involving ongoing investigations, he said. In response to a question concerning how frequently public darbars should occur and how many cops should participate, the DGP stated that many officers are progressively becoming public darbars in order to resolve concerns pertaining to individuals. "I agree that the frequency of public darbars need to be increased," he stated.

BJP winning 370 seats will be true tribute to Syama Prasad Mookerjee: PM Modi

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who stated that securing 370 seats would be a real tribute to the party's chief ideologue Syama Prasad Mookerjee, advised BJP members to centre the party's Lok Sabha election campaign around the party's pro-poor activities, the nation's progress, and its improved status internationally. Mookerjee was a fierce opponent of the special rights for Jammu and Kashmir guaranteed by Article 370. The article was removed in August 2019 by the Modi administration. Speaking before the party's convention began, the BJP's national office-bearers urged that booth workers should now concentrate on ensuring that each polling place receives at least 370 more votes for the party than it did in 2019.Modi told the gathering that while the opposition will bring up "unnecessary and emotional issues" during the elections, party members should stick to the topics of development, pro-poor policies, and the nation's improving standing internationally, according to BJP General Secretary Vinod Tawde, who briefed reporters on Modi's speech. According to Tawde, the party would begin outreach to recipients of several central government programmes on February 25. Modi stated that he had led a government for about 23 years, including more than 12 years as the chief minister of Gujarat, and that no accusations of corruption have been made against him. In his briefing, he declared, "It's been a 'aarop mukt' and a 'vikas yukt' period," adding that no one had ever served for such a long time without receiving any taint.

Over Dozen Structures Develop Cracks In J&K Doda

JAMMU, Feb 16: In a village in the Doda area of Jammu and Kashmir, more than a dozen residential homes and a mosque have developed cracks, causing the residents to relocate into temporary shelters, according to officials. A team of officials visited the impacted Gatsu hamlet to assess the situation, according to Doda Deputy Commissioner Harvinder Singh, and gave some tents to the afflicted residents. We are keeping an eye on the situation and supporting the people of Gatsu. The families would be rehabilitated to safer locations if necessary, he said.The afflicted inhabitants of Gatsu, who live 10 km from Doda town on the Doda-Kishtwar stretch of National Highway-244, blamed the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) for their predicament. They stated that as the ground began to drop as a result of road widening construction, huge fissures emerged in the structures. In the upcoming review meeting, the district magistrate promised to bring up the matter of compensation for the impacted families with the NHIDCL."After the recent rains caused fractures to deepen, we abandoned our homes. Haleema Begum, 65, stated, "We have been pleading before the NHIDCL authorities and the district administration, but no one came to our rescue till date." According to Mohd Aarif (35), they are currently residing under polyethylene sheets after leaving their dangerous dwellings. He insisted on their thorough rehabilitation as soon as possible, saying, "We are living in constant fear of attacks by wild animals like leopards and bears which keep on roaming in this area."
