It will be easier for people of J&K to elect govt this time : Azad

SRINAGAR: Leader of the DPAP Ghulam Nabi Azad stated on Sunday that since all regional and national parties have had an opportunity to govern the territory, it will be simpler for the people of Jammu and Kashmir to choose a government that will serve their interests. All political parties, both national and regional, have had the opportunity to lead Jammu & Kashmir. Azad, a former chief minister of the former state of Jammu and Kashmir, told reporters that this made it simpler for the people to choose a government that would serve their interests. Regarding accusations made against the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) that it is a "B Team" of the BJP, Azad stated that some of his critics have previously been affiliated with the saffron party."Those who refer to us as the BJP's 'B Team' were present; they belonged to the 'A Teams' of the party. According to Azad, one politician even started out in politics as a minister in a BJP government. He said, referring to previous coalitions between the BJP and the National Conference and the People's Democratic Party, "I was neither in the BJP as a minister or a chief minister, nor was I helped by the BJP." It is difficult to predict whether the Modi wave will have any effect on Jammu and Kashmir, the former leader of the Congress party added. "Jammu and Kashmir is not like the other Indian states.Because of its diverse culture, it is hard to predict whose influence would be felt in Jammu and Kashmir "added the speaker. Azad also believes that Arun Goel's decision to enter politics following his resignation as an election commissioner on Saturday won't have a negative effect. "An officer in India has resigned before, but this may be the first for the Election Commission. Many high-ranking officials have left their positions to enter politics. I don't believe it will negatively affect the nation's politics or the Election Commission's operations," he continued.

Traffic Suspended On Jammu-Srinagar Highway For Road Widening Work

JAMMU, Mar 10: According to officials, traffic on the 270-kilometer Jammu-Srinagar national highway was still blocked on Sunday morning while work was being done on widening various problematic sections of the Ramban area. In order to facilitate the expansion of the roadway to two lanes at Dalwas, Mehar-Cafeteria, Panthiyal, and Nachlana between the Nashri and Banihal tunnels, vehicular traffic on the only all-weather route connecting Kashmir with the rest of the nation was halted late on Saturday night, according to officials.The decision to halt traffic on the highway for 14 hours starting at 10 p.m. on Saturday, according to traffic department officials, was made to protect commuters. Over a dozen locations in Ramban have experienced road damage due to landslides, mudslides, and stone shooting, which prompted the authorities to switch to one-way traffic on the highway as of February 26. Travellers have been dealing with severe traffic jams for the past two weeks due to traffic coming from both Jammu and Srinagar, particularly in Dalwas, Mehar, and Nachlana. The national route between Jammu and Srinagar is currently undergoing road widening in numerous locations. Until the restoration work is finished, people are urged not to travel between Nashri and Navyug (Banihal) Tunnel, a department spokeswoman said.
