White Knight Corps Commander visits Poonch sector after fresh snowfall in Pirpanjal Mountains Range

POONCH: Lt. Gen. Navin Sachdeva, the commander of the White Knight Corps, visited advanced sites in the Poonch sector on Saturday and assessed the operational readiness of the units there, amid recent heavy snowfall in the Pirpanjal Mountains Range. According to the White Knight Corps of the Indian Army, Lt. Gen. Sachdeva urged every rank to be alert and stand firm in the face of any difficulties. The Mughal Road, which links the Kashmir Valley with Rajouri and Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir, saw the start of snow removal activities on Saturday. Furthermore, Kralpora Keran Road in the Kupwara area of J&K has reopened as 109 RCC Beacon cleaned the snow following the significant snowfall.Earlier on Friday, there was more snowfall in the Pirpanjal region, which made the farmers and tourists happy. The upper regions of the mountains in Rajouri District saw snowfall following a protracted dry spell, while the lower areas got much-needed rains. Farmers in the horticultural and agricultural sectors have been much relieved by the snowfall, as the precipitation is anticipated to be advantageous for crops. Nevertheless, the happiness was tempered by difficulties, as a heavy layer of snow covered the entire Pirpanchal hills in the Poonch area as well as the Mughal road track. The last seven days saw the closure of the Mughal Road due to the severe snowfall that hindered the mobility of both locals and tourists. The residents are pushing visitors to come and take in the picturesque splendour of the snow-covered environment despite the difficulties caused by road closures.

Strategy, resilience imperative for overcoming challenges: Rana

JAMMU: Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana urged people to learn lessons from the game of chess, pointing out that it's not just about strategy and patience to win, but also about the intricacies of life. During the opening of IDPS Checkmate - The Grand Chess Fiesta at the International Delhi Public School, Rana stated that the decisions a person makes in life and the level of foresight they develop are reflected in this mental game. "We all need to learn chess because it develops mental acuity, fosters strategic reasoning, and promotes cognitive agility," he stated. He went on to say that the fact that students from different schools were competing shows how important sports are in today's world.Devender Rana praised the International Delhi Public Schools in Jammu and Kashmir and stated that bringing revolutionary skills to the educational sector requires concerted and coordinated efforts. As part of their social obligation, he made a strong plea to all of the top private schools to allow kids from underprivileged communities to receive a top-notch education. According to Rana, private schools may greatly enhance the efforts of public sector educational institutions and play a vital role in guaranteeing academic achievement by matching extracurricular activities and specialised curricula to students' interests and abilities. According to him, these kinds of partnerships can make it easier to share resources, knowledge, and best practices, which will ultimately result in a more complete educational system.According to Rana, Jammu and Kashmir has the capacity to produce strong chess players and the smartest kids who would go on to become world-class chess masters and bring honour to their home state. He continued, "The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, with its promising pool of young and aspiring players, stands poised to contribute significantly to the world of chess." On this occasion, in attendance were IDPS Chairperson Arunima Choudhary, Pro-Vice Chairman Suminder Singh, Principal Randeep Wazir, Madhu Abrol, School Manager Romy Khajuria, and other individuals.
