SRINAGAR, Feb 2: The two days of closure of the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway owing to snowfall and stone shooting at different locations have been partially lifted, according to officials. After restoration work at several locations was finished and stranded vehicles were cleared, traffic on the roadway was reopened today afternoon, according to a traffic police official. J&K traffic police posted on X said, "Commuters are advised to drive cautiously, as part of the road near Sherbibi is single lane and also slippery at several places."For the second day in a row, surface travel to the rest of the country was halted on Friday in the Kashmir valley due to the highway being closed due to snowfall and stone shooting in many locations. To make Kishtwari Pather, Sherbibi, Magerkote, Mehad-Cafeteria, and Dalwas traffic-worthy, restoration work was done there. The crucial Srinagar-Sonamarg-Gumri (SSG) road connecting Ladakh and the historic Mughal road linking the Shopian district of south Kashmir with the twin districts of Rajouri and Poonch in the Jammu division have both been closed for the past three days due to snow accumulation.There were also reports of multiple roads in north Kashmir being closed because of snowfall, connecting distant locations. Nonetheless, in order to make the roads suitable for travel, snow removal efforts have been started in a number of locations.

NEW DELHI: For a while now, Rishabh Pant has been getting advice from Mahendra Singh Dhoni, but there was a moment when the young keeper-batter found it difficult "to breathe" due to the similarities with the renowned former India captain. Pant, who is still in recovery from a near-fatal vehicle accident in 2022, said that Dhoni is currently the only person he feels safe talking almost anything about in his life with. However, he also acknowledged that in the early stages of his career, it was difficult to accept comparisons to the legendary Ranchi man. "I used to have terrible feelings. When I was 20 or 21 years old, I used to cry and go back to my room. I was breathing heavily under pressure. I was under a lot of strain and wasn't sure what to do. As the audience began to shout "Dhoni Dhoni," I missed a stumping in Mohali," Pant claimed in a "Star Sports" series that chronicled his recuperation from the injury. Speaking about his relationship dynamics with the 2011 World Cup winner, Pant stated that at this point he feels emotionally overloaded. It's never easy for me to describe my relationship with MS Dhoni. There are certain people you may speak freely with. All of this is discussed with MSD. He's taught me so much already."I talk to him about things that I wouldn't talk to anyone else about. That's the nature of my relationship with him," Pant remarked. Before the terrible crash turned things ugly, Pant, who was unquestionably India's greatest game-changer in Test cricket, admitted that he was honestly perplexed by the comparisons to Dhoni, a true legend. "To begin with, I didn't understand the purpose of the questions. People were discussing me as a replacement when I had just joined the squad," Pant remarked. "Why were people asking such pointed questions of a child? For what reason are you drawing comparisons? There ought to be no analogy whatsoever. While some have played 500 matches, others have just played five. The comparison is unfair because there have been so many ups and downs throughout the lengthy road." Pant remarked that for helping him feel at ease when he initially arrived, elders like Yuvraj Singh would always have his gratitude. "I was extremely young when we started, and there were a lot of experienced players—a lot of them, in fact. Seniors Yuvraj Singh and MS were present. I didn't feel like they were extremely seniors, but it does take some time. They were really kind and made me feel at home. Every new player feels extremely at ease with them. "This is the Indian team's culture," he declared. [caption id="attachment_10137" align="alignnone" width="300"] Comparisons…
Jammu, Feb 2: Former Member of Parliament and senior Congress leader Bhakta Charan Das expressed his pessimism on Friday over the BJP-led central government's ability to organise assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir by the end of September. But he asserted that by holding the eagerly anticipated elections in the Union Territory, the government should honour democracy, popular opinion, and the ruling of the Supreme Court. Speaking to media prior to a meeting behind closed doors with the 26-member J&K Pradesh Election committee, Das is the head of the cluster-IV screening committee that recommends party candidates for the Lok Sabha elections.The Supreme Court, which ordered assembly elections to be held before the end of September, democracy, and the goals of the people of Jammu and Kashmir should all be respected by the government led by Narendra Modi. If the government is willing, the election can take place, but I do not think it will. In many locations, they have shown little respect for democracy. However, it would be beneficial if the assembly polls were held here, the Congress leader stated. He was answering a query concerning the party's setup for the Union Territory assembly elections. The Congress announced the creation of five screening committees last month in order to propose party candidates for the Lok Sabha elections. States and Union territories have been divided into five groups by the party.Nearly the whole northern region of India is covered by the cluster-IV screening committee. After the first round of voting with the Pradesh Congress, we will discuss some technical matters today, such as the alliance partners and how to contest the upcoming lower house election. We want to present our findings to the five-member screening committee that was established specifically for this reason," he declared. He indicated that to clear up any misunderstandings, a conversation is ongoing with the alliance's partners. "We don't have the authority to make decisions. That is beyond of our purview. We support technical work, with a separate committee handling political negotiations and finalising candidates (in collaboration with alliance partners).However, Das stated that "all the alliance partners must move together" and that the INDIA bloc is "very important" for Jammu and Kashmir as well as the nation.

An 84-year-old man was recognised as the deceased.SSP Tariq further mentioned that the improvised bomb device included about 8 kg of explosive. The SSP stated that security was already on high alert because of the impending elections and that the bomb's target was unknown because no election campaign-related event was scheduled in the area. Another attack happened close to the outskirts of Quetta, injuring assistant sub-inspector Ghulam Raza. A hand grenade that was thrown at the Shalkot police station by unknown attackers detonated in the courtyard.

JAMMU: The crime profile of a zone or area is determined by the rate and quality of disposal of crimes. DGP RR Swain made this statement while presiding over the Jammu Zone's monthly crime review meeting in the ZPHQ Conference Hall. The DGP underlined throughout the conference the importance of creating a thorough criminal database and improving the effectiveness of crime disposal. Additionally, he talked about how important it is to enhance investigations, with an emphasis on NDPS and incidents involving the smuggling of cows. Swain, the chief police official, emphasised the transient nature of criminals and anti-social elements and urged cops to find fresh suspects and motives while responding appropriately. He underlined again how crucial it is to keep an accurate criminal history and crime record, adding that having a strong database will facilitate investigations and the analytical use of data. Speaking about the drug trade, which is considered to be very harmful, the DGP emphasised that it funds terrorist activities. He demanded that law enforcement take decisive, methodical action against individuals engaged in the NDPS trade and promoted the creation of an extensive database of drug dealers and users. The directive entailed indexing drivers and cars connected to drug transportation and compiling a "master list" of vehicles that committed offences regularly. Due of its link to other illegal operations, strict action against bovine traffickers was also stressed. The DGP ordered that car owners who engaged in this kind of trading on a regular basis should be held accountable.Officers agreed that defining specific objectives and putting successful techniques into practice will help reduce the crime rate. The DGP recognised the top police station and district and announced incentives for outstanding performance in investigations, which was a motivational step.

WASHINGTON: The US Congress was informed today by the Biden Administration of its intention to sell weapons valued at around $4 billion, primarily Hellfire missile-equipped MQ 9 B drones. In a press release on Thursday, the US Department of Defence agency Defence Security Cooperation Agency stated that the sale contributes to the strategic relationship between the US and India being strengthened. "An important force for political stability, peace, and economic progress in the Indo-Pacific and South Asia region," it continued, is New Delhi. "The US State Department has decided to approve a potential $3.99 billion foreign military sale of MQ-9B remotely piloted aircraft and associated equipment to the Government of India.In a statement, the Defence Security Cooperation Agency stated that it had "delivered the necessary certification informing Congress of this potential sale today." 31 MQ-9B Sky Guardian aircraft, 161 Embedded Global Positioning and Inertial Navigation Systems (EGIs), 35 L3 Rio Grande Communications Intelligence Sensor Suites, 170 AGM-114R Hellfire missiles, 16 M36E9 Hellfire Captive Air Training Missiles (CATM), 310 GBU-39B/B Laser Small Diameter Bombs (LSDB), and eight GBU-39B/B LSDB Guided Test Vehicles (GTVs) with live fuzes are among the items that the Indian government has requested to purchase. By bolstering the strategic relationship between the US and India and enhancing the security of a "major defence partner," which is still a "important force for political stability, peace, and economic progress in the Indo-Pacific and South Asia region," the proposed sale will support US foreign policy and national security objectives, according to the release. Additionally, it stated that India has shown a commitment to modernising its military and will have no trouble integrating these goods and services into its armed forces. This will increase India's ability to meet "current and future threats" by enabling unmanned surveillance and reconnaissance patrols in sea lanes of operation. "The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region," it stated. General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Poway, CA, will serve as the lead contractor, according to the statement. Any offset arrangement will be negotiated between the contractor and the buyer. There won't be a need to send any more contractor or US government agents to India in order to carry out this proposed sale. "There will be no adverse impact on US defence readiness as a result of this proposed sale," the press release stated.
