The good work and efforts of the armed forces and intelligence services in combating terrorism in south Kashmir were praised by Swain."To uproot terrorism more joint efforts of all are needed," he stated.

He made a strong impression on the cops, asking them to work diligently, honestly, and professionally to ensure everyone's safety and security. The DGP stated that while J&K Police and other sister agencies had been successful in establishing a favourable environment in J&K, maintaining it would be extremely difficult. Additionally, he assessed the needs and operations of the police stations. In order for the officers to easily carry out their tasks, Swain gave them instructions to tend to their immediate requirements.

NC committed to restoring rights, identity of J&K: Omar

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…

Will take India among top 3 economies of world in my 3rd tenure: PM

DAMOH: On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that he will place the nation's economy among the top three in the world during his third term in office. Speaking at a public gathering in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, in advance of the state assembly elections scheduled on November 17, Modi also pledged to keep up the battle against corruption. In Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, the people elected the Congress to power, but their chief ministers were discovered to be engaged in "satta" (betting) and the creation of black money, he claimed. According to Modi, after 2014, the nation's economy rose from 10th to 5th place, overtaking the UK, which had dominated the nation for more than 200 years. "When we took office in 2014, the nation's economy was ranked tenth.It gradually moved to the 9th, 8th, 7th, and 6th grades, but no one discussed it. Everyone was shocked and began to look at India when it rose to the fifth rank, surpassing the United Kingdom, which had dominated the country for 200 years," he remarked. Modi declared that he would elevate the Indian economy to one of the top three in the world during his third term as prime minister. Next year's Lok Sabha elections are scheduled. As previously indicated by a prime minister of that party, the PM warned that if the Congress regains power, the "85 per cent commission system" will function in the states. Remarkably, former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi said that the intended recipient only received 15 paisa for every Re 1 granted by the government. Additionally, Modi revealed that Congress leaders have threatened to file a complaint with the Election Commission over his vow to prolong the free ration programme for the underprivileged for an additional five years. "Let them do this sin, I will continue to do good work for the people," he declared. Along with vowing to keep up the fight against corruption, the prime minister also asked the public if they thought he should remain, to which they answered in the affirmative.
