SRINAGAR: According to Omar Abdullah, vice president of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, only the NC will uphold the region's rights, distinctive identity, and development-starved citizens. Speaking at a workers' convention in Bandipora on Wednesday, Omar said that the National Conference has engaged in numerous conflicts on numerous fronts."The other parties only discuss growth. Every government must operate in the field of development. We discuss progress as well, but we also discuss preserving our own identity," he added. We have stated time and time again that growth and our rights are not mutually exclusive. Both must work together. Equally crucial to our right to basic amenities is our ability to live in dignity. Only we are juggling several projects at once," Omar asserted. "We have also administered the J&K," the former chief minister declared. Additionally, we assessed overages for the use of essential utilities like power and water, but we never put the onus on customers. People pay high taxes nowadays, but there is a lack of energy and water." Omar cautioned the public to be on the lookout for opportunistic and conspiratorial elements. "They made a deal with Jammu and Kashmir in 2019, and these elements will not refrain from doing your deal again if needed in the future, as it is their habit and nature." These individuals value their own interests over those of others. All they want is security, a car, and a bungalow for themselves. When we were detained in jails in 2019 and were not permitted to leave, these are the same folks that were freely moving around. These are the folks who reside in five-star establishments," he claimed. After August 5, 2019, according to an NC leader, individuals with heightened security and those with less security shall be made clear to the public. "Today, security is not given on the basis of threat, but on the basis of how…

NOV 08, 2023 : Babar Azam was the top-ranked ODI batter in the world until Shubman Gill of India's blistering run in the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023. On Wednesday, the Men in Blue opener overtook the skipper of Pakistan in the ICC Men's ODI Batting Rankings. After an explosive start to India's ICC Men's Cricket World Cup campaign, Gill ascended to the top to dethrone Babar. He is now just the fourth player from his nation to hold the No. 1 ODI batter position, following in the footsteps of Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, and MS Dhoni.The right-hander has amassed 219 runs from six innings at the event thus far in the ongoing campaign, scoring 92 against Sri Lanka and 23 against South Africa. With eight knocks in the World Cup, the captain of Pakistan has accumulated 282 runs, ending his more than two-year reign as the world's best ODI batter. However, he is now six rating points behind Gill in second place. Virat Kohli, the previous captain, took fourth place in the rankings in the meantime. For the first time in his short but brilliant career, Gill is ranked #1, and Kohli's 543 World Cup runs propel him up three spots to fourth, one rating point ahead of South Africa's opener Quinton de Kock, who is ranked third. Among the ODI batsmen, it is noteworthy that India's Shreyas Iyer jumps from 17 to 18 overall, while Pakistan's opener Fakhar Zaman moves up three spaces to 11th and his Afghan counterpart Ibrahim Zadran moves up six spots to 12th.
