BARAMULLA, Jan 16: On Tuesday, Manoj Sinha, the lieutenant governor of Jammu and Kashmir, declared that panchayat and urban local body elections would "definitely" take place in the Union territory following the implementation of the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) reservation. He claimed that people who denied local bodies funding while they were in power were now politicising the matter and calling for a return to the previous state of affairs, but "we will not allow that." "I wish to inform my colleagues who served as panchs, sarpanches, and ULB representatives that the administration has begun the process of reserving seats for other backward classes, as required by the constitution following the enactment of the State Reorganisation Act."I want to reassure you that ULBs and Panchayat elections would undoubtedly be held in Jammu and Kashmir following the conclusion of this exercise.

People are aware of their objectives, according to Sinha, who said that some were engaging in political posturing due to the votes' prolonged delay. Politics is being played by some on the topic. People who strangled Panchayats and ULBs are now beginning to recall them. I don't want to say anything, but I believe that everyone in this room is well aware of those individuals' identities and motivations.He declared, "I want to assure you that we will not allow Panchayats to return to the same situation and that everything should happen through them." He urged everyone to take part in Republic Day ceremonies and fly the tricolour proudly, especially the younger generation.

SRINAGAR, Jan 16: Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, expressed his wish for snowfall in the region on Tuesday, saying that the region needs snow in order to run power projects and have a thriving tourism industry. Speaking at a function in the Baramulla district of north Kashmir, the LG stated that the region is now experiencing a dry winter. "I ask God to provide snow because power projects depend on it to function; without it, they would fail. Snowfall is also necessary to maintain the health of the tourism industry, he stated.According to the LG, 13 lakh people came to Gulmarg last year, with the snow serving as a key draw. "In the Baramulla district, six new destinations have been added to the list, but tourists would prefer to stay away in the absence of snow," he stated. LG stated that with the completion of OBC reservations, elections for Panchayats and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) will take place shortly. Elections for Panchayats and ULBs will be held after the process is completed, he stated. "Work is going on towards that direction."On January 26, Republic Day, the LG asked the people of Baramulla to participate in the Jhanda Ooncha Rahay Hamara programme in big numbers.

SRINAGAR: The lack of snow has severely impacted Kashmir's tourism sector, causing a flood of intended travellers to postpone and cancel their plans, which has affected hotels and tour companies. Local companies that depend heavily on winter travel were caught off guard by the sudden development. Kashmir's once-thriving tourism industry has suffered a great deal as a result of social media posts expressing disbelief and sharing pictures of desolate surroundings. Kashmir's well-known tourist attractions, including Pahalgam, Sonamarg, and Gulmarg, a ski resort that has long drawn tourists from all over the world, have been negatively impacted by this year's lack of snow.Tourism stakeholders estimate that there has been a loss of over 50% in leisure tourism enthusiasts and an 80 percent decline in adventure tourism enthusiasts. The effects are being felt throughout the region, affecting enterprises and changing the perception of Kashmir as a winter wonderland for tourists. Mushtaq Chaya, the chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Hoteliers Club, called the current state of affairs in Kashmir—which is devoid of snow—a recurrent nightmare. "As natural beauty, be it snow or greenery, is our unique selling proposition (USP), without it, our tourism product is nothing," he stated. "The absence of the iconic snow-capped summits and slopes this year has left travellers dejected, resulting in a major decrease in tourist influx, estimated to be over 50 per cent.There will be more deterioration if the current state of affairs continues, Chaya stated, adding that cancellations are becoming a regular occurrence and are mostly related to the lack of snowfall. The local communities who depend on tourism are affected economically as cancellations keep rising. Financial strain is experienced by hoteliers and retailers, and for many families, the lack of seasonal revenue has increased worries. Empty rooms and lonely slopes greet hotel owners in Gulmarg, a generally busy ski resort that is used to receiving enthusiastic skiers and snow enthusiasts. In Gulmarg, December was a busy month, and we anticipated a similar influx in January.However, nature has dashed our hopes," a hotelier said. Chairman Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI) J&K Chapter, Ather Yameen said potential visitors,…
