SRINAGAR, Feb 2: The two days of closure of the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway owing to snowfall and stone shooting at different locations have been partially lifted, according to officials. After restoration work at several locations was finished and stranded vehicles were cleared, traffic on the roadway was reopened today afternoon, according to a traffic police official. J&K traffic police posted on X said, "Commuters are advised to drive cautiously, as part of the road near Sherbibi is single lane and also slippery at several places."For the second day in a row, surface travel to the rest of the country was halted on Friday in the Kashmir valley due to the highway being closed due to snowfall and stone shooting in many locations. To make Kishtwari Pather, Sherbibi, Magerkote, Mehad-Cafeteria, and Dalwas traffic-worthy, restoration work was done there. The crucial Srinagar-Sonamarg-Gumri (SSG) road connecting Ladakh and the historic Mughal road linking the Shopian district of south Kashmir with the twin districts of Rajouri and Poonch in the Jammu division have both been closed for the past three days due to snow accumulation.There were also reports of multiple roads in north Kashmir being closed because of snowfall, connecting distant locations.

Jammu, Feb 2: Former Member of Parliament and senior Congress leader Bhakta Charan Das expressed his pessimism on Friday over the BJP-led central government's ability to organise assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir by the end of September. But he asserted that by holding the eagerly anticipated elections in the Union Territory, the government should honour democracy, popular opinion, and the ruling of the Supreme Court. Speaking to media prior to a meeting behind closed doors with the 26-member J&K Pradesh Election committee, Das is the head of the cluster-IV screening committee that recommends party candidates for the Lok Sabha elections.The Supreme Court, which ordered assembly elections to be held before the end of September, democracy, and the goals of the people of Jammu and Kashmir should all be respected by the government led by Narendra Modi. If the government is willing, the election can take place, but I do not think it will. In many locations, they have shown little respect for democracy. However, it would be beneficial if the assembly polls were held here, the Congress leader stated. He was answering a query concerning the party's setup for the Union Territory assembly elections. The Congress announced the creation of five screening committees last month in order to propose party candidates for the Lok Sabha elections. States and Union territories have been divided into five groups by the party.Nearly the whole northern region of India is covered by the cluster-IV screening committee. After the first round of voting with the Pradesh Congress, we will discuss some technical matters today, such as the alliance partners and how to contest the upcoming lower house election. We want to present our findings to the five-member screening committee that was established specifically for this reason," he declared. He indicated that to clear up any misunderstandings, a conversation is ongoing with the alliance's partners. "We don't have the authority to make decisions. That is beyond of our purview. We support technical work, with a separate committee handling political negotiations and finalising candidates (in collaboration with alliance partners).However, Das stated that "all the alliance partners must move together" and that the INDIA bloc is "very important" for Jammu and Kashmir as well as the nation.

JAMMU, Feb 2: R R Swain, the director general of police for Jammu and Kashmir, has demanded that those who traffic in drugs within the Union Territory face rigorous and deliberate punishment. At this Thursday's monthly crime review meeting, Swain declared, "The (narcotics) trade is extremely dangerous, as it not only destroys the younger generation but is also being used to generate funds to support terrorist activities." He gave the officers orders to deal with the drug trafficking offenders in a severe and organised manner.According to a police spokesperson, the DGP also gave them instructions to keep track of drug users and dealers so that more thorough action may be taken. In addition to ordering the indexing of drivers and cars discovered to be involved in the transit of drugs, Swain put pressure on the officers to compile a "master list" of vehicles that committed offences on a regular basis. He highlighted on the categories of victims, peddlers and dealers and encouraged upon the cops to look forward and background linkages gaining from the past experiences.According to the spokesperson, the discussion covered a number of important topics related to enhancing the examination and resolution of criminal cases, including those involving drugs and the smuggling of cattle. "To improve the efficiency of crime disposal, we must create a comprehensive, up-to-date, and accurate database of the criminals," stated the DGP. "The crime picture of a district or zone should highlight the rate of disposal and quality of disposal of the crime cases registered." According to Swain, "a strong crime case database will aid in utilising the data for investigations." The trade is frequently linked to other illegal activities, such as the transfer of criminals and illegal materials, so the DGP instructed the cops to take strict action against bovine smugglers.“Strict action must be initiated against the vehicle owners whose vehicles are repeatedly used for the trade,” he stated. To further incentivize the officers, the DGP declared that the best district and best police station will be awarded to those who perform exceptionally well in the investigations.

DGP RR Swain made this statement while presiding over the Jammu Zone's monthly crime review meeting in the ZPHQ Conference Hall. The DGP underlined throughout the conference the importance of creating a thorough criminal database and improving the effectiveness of crime disposal.
