Srinagar, Nov 27 : The war against terrorism in Uttar Pradesh is still ongoing, according to Director General of Police (DGP) of Jammu and Kashmir RR Swain, who stated on Monday that a war ends only when one side concedes defeat. Speaking to reporters outside of a gathering at this Gurdwara Chattipadshahi, DGP Swain stated that the fight against terrorism in J&K is still ongoing. "A conflict only comes to an end when one of the sides concedes defeat and realises that more deaths will not solve the issue. Thus, even though we occasionally suffer setbacks, we will not give up on the fight against terrorism, the DGP declared.He asserted that there was no chance of the police reversing course in the ongoing war on terrorism. He uttered, "Peechay hatnay ka sawaal he nahi." In response to a question concerning infiltration, he stated that it could occasionally increase and decrease. "This matter is not meant to be made public," he declared. As the DGP offered heartfelt congratulations to Guru Nanak Devji on Gurupurab, he stated that police do not reaffirm their commitment to serving the public on this auspicious day; rather, they make a new vow to do so.The lessons of Guru Nanak Devji still hold true today. His message has been one of equality and no distinction between the rich and the poor. Even now, any soul can become enlightened by Guruji's teachings, regardless of caste, colour, or creed. I send my best wishes to the Sikh community in J&K on this auspicious occasion," the DGP stated.

JAMMU: The Administrative Council (AC), chaired by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, met here and approved the purchase of 500 MW of firm power from the Ministry of Power (MOP) in order to meet the UT's Base Load power requirement. Attending the meeting were Dr. Mandeep Kumar Bhandari, the Lieutenant Governor's principal secretary, Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta, the chief secretary, and advisor Rajeev Rai Bhatnagar. The AC approves the allocation of an extra 500 MW of firm power from MOP in B(v) mode (purchasing handled by PFC) in order to meet the base load power requirement, which is essentially necessary to meet the demand during the winter.Because of the large amount of hydropower in the UT, the availability decreases in the winter. AC approved the signing of a new Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between J&K Power Corporation Limited (JKPCL) and NTPC regarding Singrauli-III, which is operated by NTPC, in order to close the gap between demand and availability of power during the winter months. This will lessen J&K's energy demand, which is rising at a 10% CAGR. As a thermal power station that is required to run, Singrauli-II provides power to J&K during the winter months when the hydro generators of ISGS generate only 150–300 MW, or 70–90% of the summertime generation. Therefore, in order to help the UT get over its power shortage during the hard winter, it will sign a new Power Purchase Agreement of JKPCL with NTPC regarding Singrauli-III. This will increase its availability. [caption id="attachment_6231" align="alignnone" width="300"] AC assents purchase of additional 500 MW of power to meet the winter demand[/caption]
KISHTWAR: In the Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir, another isolated village at a high altitude has gained telecom connectivity, an official said on Sunday. This week, the Warwan Inshan area will get its first mobile network tower, making it the second remote area in the district to have telecom connectivity after the Sumcham Buddhist village, according to the official. According to him, the new tower is especially important because it guarantees constant connectivity with other areas during the severe winter months. The official stated that because of the severe road connectivity problems caused by the heavy snowfall in the area, the tower's construction is an essential support system. On November 24, telecom connectivity was established in the Dangail area of Sumcham, which is near the famous Paddar Sapphire Mine and the Kargil region of Ladakh.
