editor December 29, 2023

UDHAMPUR, Dec 28: Today, a house in the Sarad area of Latti tehsil caught fire, killing seven cattle—four of which were buffaloes—charring them to death. According to reports, this evening the brothers Joginder Lal and Sudesh Kumar's Kucha house in Sarad village, close to Latti, unexpectedly caught fire. Since there was no Fire and Emergency Service station within 50 kilometres, the villagers attempted to put out the fire by using buckets and other pots to pour water on it, but they were unable to do so.The family's four buffaloes and three cows perished in the fire, and other household items suffered significant damage. After calling for a fire tender from Chenani, which took roughly two hours to arrive, seven cattle had already perished from burns, and the entire house, including the cattle shed, had sustained damage. Sarpanch Lati, Kasturi Lal Gupta, Sarpanch Sirah, and Bup Sarad are among the locals who have urged Lt Governor Manoj Sinha to approve the construction of a fire station at Latti, for which government land has been identified. They claimed that during the previous year, there were roughly 6-7 fire incidents in the area, resulting in lakhs of damage to property in the Latti/Dudu Sub Division.

“Option Of Filing Review Petition Being Explored”: MY Tarigami On SC Upholding Abrogation Of Article 370

editor December 28, 2023

JAMMU, Dec 28: MY Tarigami, the leader of the CPI(M), stated on Thursday that the Supreme Court's ruling supporting the Center's decision to revoke Article 370 is one of the options being considered. The statements were made following the unanimous December 11 unanimous ruling by the Supreme Court's five-judge Constitution bench to uphold the Union government's 2019 decision to repeal Article 370 of the Constitution, which granted Jammu and Kashmir special status, while emphasising that Article 370 is a "temporary provision."Leader of the CPI(M), MY Tarigami, stated, "As a citizen, I would say I am not happy with the verdict, in addition to being a petitioner representing my party. We are looking into other possibilities, such as asking the court to reconsider the decision and reinstate the rights of the J-K residents. MY Tarigami went on to say that the residents of Jammu and Kashmir were not consulted prior to the Centre repealing the aforementioned article. "Article 370, which was repealed without consulting the local populace, served as a link between Jammu and Kashmir and the rest of India. Before making the decision to abrogate, their opinions were not considered," he stated.In a historic decision, the supreme court upheld Jammu and Kashmir's revocation of Article 370 and gave the Centre until September of the following year to restore statehood and hold elections in the region. Reading from the ruling, CJI Chandrachud stated that every decision made by the Centre on behalf of a State under proclamation cannot be challenged in court because doing so would bring the state's administration to a complete halt. According to the Supreme Court, Article 370 of the Constitution is merely provisional.
