editor September 21, 2023

New Delhi, Sep 21: According to sources, the CBI has charged the principal of Kendriya Vidyalaya, Waltair, with admitting 193 ineligible students on the basis of fictitious service credentials that were reportedly given by many Central government offices in exchange for kickbacks from the parents of the applicants. In relation to the admission of 124 ineligible students during the academic year 2022–23 and 69 such students for 2021–22, they claimed that the CBI had filed two FIRs against Principal S Sreenivasa Raja.According to the agency, Raja colluded with the parents of ineligible students to grant them admission into different classes without checking their applications or service certificates. Raja also allegedly received undue financial advantage through UPI to his bank accounts with the State Bank of India and the Union Bank of India. The CBI discovered the anomalies while conducting a combined surprise inspection at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Waltair on May 3 and 4, this year, to confirm the admissions provided by Raja for 2022–2023.According to the FIR, Raja colluded with the parents of ineligible students to admit ineligible pupils of various classes while receiving a financial benefit in exchange for doing so.

Constitution cannot be amended so easily: Omar

editor September 21, 2023

SRINAGAR: Omar Abdullah, vice president of the National Conference (NC), stated here on Thursday that any attempt to fiddle with the Constitution would not be helpful for the nation since it cannot be changed so quickly. In answer to a reporter's inquiry, he made these comments regarding the Congress's claim that the words "socialist" and "secular" had been removed from the Preamble of the Constitution. The Constitution is not easily amendable. Obtaining a two-thirds majority is necessary to amend the Constitution. As far as I'm aware, neither the Lok Sabha nor the Rajya Sabha have held a vote to eliminate such phrases, Abdullah told reporters in the Handwara neighbourhood of the Kupwara region in north Kashmir. He claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is in power, circulated copies of the original Constitution among its members as proof that the occasion of shifting parliamentary proceedings from the old building to the new one was significant. If that is accurate, then we have no issues. We have always maintained that if Jammu and Kashmir joined India, it joined Mahatma Gandhi's country, not the country of the RSS or Sangh Parivar,'' the NC leader added. However, if they are tampering with the Constitution, then, pardon me, it will not be beneficial for the nation. When asked if his party had high hopes for the Supreme Court's decision on a group of petitions contesting the repeal of Article 370 of the Constitution, Abdullah responded that the NC had done everything it could and that "we are hopeful of (getting) justice." In response to reports that 80 percent of Jammu and Kashmir's residents are satisfied with the current form of government, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha replied, "Let the Assembly elections be held to see if that is the case." We were unable to see these 80% of the population. Why do people attend our programmes if that is the case? People travel to locations with NC programmes.

editor September 21, 2023

Jammu, Sep 21: A senior official of the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) stated here on Thursday that a border resident had been detained along with 3.5 kilos of heroin valued at roughly Rs 7 crore. According to Senior Superintendent of Police (ANTF) Raj Kumar, Zaheer Ahmad, a native of the Keran sector of the Kupwara district in north Kashmir, was apprehended based on specific information from the Gangbug neighbourhood of Srinagar. "The narcotic smuggler's arrest and the seizure of commercial quantities of heroin from his possession is a big success for the ANTF," the officer said, adding that a FIR had been filed and that additional research to uncover the arrested smuggler's backward and forward connections was ongoing.He stated that most heroin is smuggled from the other side of the border and that "we are looking into details how the consignment reached this side - whether it was smuggled or airdropped through a drone." He added that it is under investigation whether the crime is connected to narco-terrorism and that additional arrests are anticipated in the case as the inquiry moves forward. According to Kumar, this year the ANTF filed 15 FIRs, the majority of which involved the seizure of large amounts of illegal drugs from various Union Territory locations. Arrests of the accused were also made outside of J-K, in places like Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, and Delhi."The assets and properties that the smugglers raised are being located and seized. The same procedure will be used in this instance, he added, adding that several bank accounts had also been stopped. To protect the next generation, he made a plea to the people to come out and assist law enforcement agencies in finding and apprehending drug smugglers. The SSP stated that "narcotics are a serious threat to our society and we need to work together to end this menace.
