JAMMU: Today, Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo presided over a meeting to evaluate the state of the Union's readiness for the prime minister's goal of having rooftop solar power plants on all government buildings by December 2025, which was set during the just finished CS Conference in New Delhi. Along with the principal secretary of finance, several top officers from the relevant departments also attended the meeting, including the CEO of JAKEDA, commissioner secretary of science and technology, and others. The Chief Secretary highlighted at the beginning of the meeting the need to have a solid plan for delivering the same on time and without fail. He explained that since solar energy is more affordable and environmentally friendly, it makes sense to embrace it and take full advantage of its potential in the Utah Territory. In order to analyse the viability and potential of each government building in Utah, he suggested arranging meetings with the major participants in the market, such as NHPC, NTPC, or SECI. Dulloo requested that you hold a one-day workshop with these players and let them know that you are interested in this solarization project. During his presentation, Commissioner Secretary for Science and Technology Saurabh Bhagat disclosed that UT government offices in J&K districts have 22494 registrations under their names, with a sanctioned load of around 486 MW. It was disclosed that JAKEDA or other departments have previously solarized close to 1900 structures, totaling 27.61 MW of capacity up to this point. Furthermore, it was discovered that by putting these rooftop solar power plants in the remaining 20,000 buildings, an additional 300 MW could be added. It was also mentioned that every department is required to submit data here, including a list of their buildings, approved linked loads, rooftop area free of shadows, geo-coordinates, and other pertinent information regarding these kinds of structures.He also stated that the government is willing to offer subsidies to the organisations carrying out this activity in the UT in addition to giving the JAKEDA the necessary revolving budget for this assignment. He recommended that the department conduct a study of the selected structures over the following few weeks and then create a model contract and DPR for each district. He advised them to keep an eye out for the fruitful precedents set by other States and UTs across the nation. He also emphasised the importance of getting technical support from any reputable organisation in order to have a clear plan for reaching this objective.During his presentation, Commissioner Secretary for Science and Technology Saurabh Bhagat disclosed that UT government offices in J&K districts have 22494 registrations under their names, with a sanctioned load of around 486 MW.

RAMBAN: The second round of the statutory inspection of the recently completed 14.869 km track between Banihal and Khari section along the much-discussed Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) was carried out on Wednesday by Commissioner of Railways Safety (CRS), Dinesh Chand Deshwal. The Khari Railway Station is located in this J&K district and is part of the 111 km remaining in the USBRL project, which when completed will provide a rail link connecting Kashmir with the rest of India in the upcoming months. The station is situated between Banihal and Katra. The people who live in the isolated, picturesque area were happy when the Northern Railways successfully ran the first trial run of an electric train from Banihal Railway Station to Khari Railway Station on December 6 of last year.According to sources, the prospects of commissioning this section to connect Khari with the Kashmir valley by train have improved following the second round of the mandatory inspection by CRS Deshwal for the opening of the Banihal-Khari track. The USBRL Chief Administrative Officer, the construction officers and other relevant officials accompanied the CRS during the inspection. The CRS first led a tram inspection of the track from Banihal to Khari and then took a special train back to Banihal from Khari. In addition to other infrastructure, the CRS and his team examined tunnels, viaducts, etc. at Railway Station Khari. In the late afternoon, a high-speed train consisting of five bogies was also tested on the recently laid track, travelling back and forth from Banihal to Khari. According to sources, the train schedule will be made public following CRS's submission of the report. There are four small and major bridges along the track that runs between Banihal and Khari, most of which are tunnels. Speaking with reporters at Banihal, CRS Deshwal stated that the inspection was necessary before extending the train service to Khari and that the infrastructure was ready for commissioning. "We are finishing this (the inspection) as a process and verifying passenger safety before resuming train operations.The completion of the Government's testing and commissioning guidelines is ongoing," he insisted. It is important to note that of the 272 km total length of the USBRL project, 161 km were completed in phases. The first phase, which included the 118 km Qazigund-Baramulla section, was completed in October 2009. Subsequently, the 18 km Banihal-Qazigund section was completed in June 2013, and the 25 km Udhampur-Katra section was completed in July 2014. Beginning in 1997, the project is the most difficult railway infrastructure project being worked on since independence. Due to significant cost increases, the project has missed multiple deadlines.

Rajesh Kumar, the CEO of I4C, spoke at the annual press conference at the media centre on Wednesday.

"The largest fraud that has been reported to authorities is WFH, whereas Mewat is mostly responsible for sextortion.

Jammu, Jan 2: People in Jammu are suffering as a result of multiple petrol stations going dry due to the transporters' walkout against a new Central government law regarding hit-and-run incidents. Under the auspices of the All J&K Transporters Association, transporters from several districts in the Jammu region staged protests calling for the repeal of the new law. "Every citizen should be subject to the law. Why, in hit-and-run incidents, are only commercial vehicle drivers subject to severe penalties and hefty fines? asked the leader of the transporters union. He suggested that the government change the law in response to a request. Due to the tankers' refusal to supply fuel, several filling stations went dry during the strike.There was a massive rush of people waiting in queue for fuel at a few petrol pumps. The transporters protested at the entrance to Jammu and Kashmir, Lakhanpur, in the Kathua district.
