Border resident arrested by J&K ANTF with 3.5 kg of heroin

Jammu, Sep 21: A senior official of the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) stated here on Thursday that a border resident had been detained along with 3.5 kilos of heroin valued at roughly Rs 7 crore. According to Senior Superintendent of Police (ANTF) Raj Kumar, Zaheer Ahmad, a native of the Keran sector of the Kupwara district in north Kashmir, was apprehended based on specific information from the Gangbug neighbourhood of Srinagar. "The narcotic smuggler's arrest and the seizure of commercial quantities of heroin from his possession is a big success for the ANTF," the officer said, adding that a FIR had been filed and that additional research to uncover the arrested smuggler's backward and forward connections was ongoing.He stated that most heroin is smuggled from the other side of the border and that "we are looking into details how the consignment reached this side - whether it was smuggled or airdropped through a drone." He added that it is under investigation whether the crime is connected to narco-terrorism and that additional arrests are anticipated in the case as the inquiry moves forward. According to Kumar, this year the ANTF filed 15 FIRs, the majority of which involved the seizure of large amounts of illegal drugs from various Union Territory locations. Arrests of the accused were also made outside of J-K, in places like Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, and Delhi."The assets and properties that the smugglers raised are being located and seized. The same procedure will be used in this instance, he added, adding that several bank accounts had also been stopped. To protect the next generation, he made a plea to the people to come out and assist law enforcement agencies in finding and apprehending drug smugglers. The SSP stated that "narcotics are a serious threat to our society and we need to work together to end this menace.

After convincing the victims that he was a powerful person, the scammer promised to find them government employment in the MES, Railway, or Bank. According to the complainant, the accused Sher Ali convinced them that he was a powerful person who could obtain them all jobs in the MES (Military Engineering Services), railway, or bank. Under this guise, the accused defrauded the complaint and other victims of substantial sums of money.

Fraudster treated patient for 3 days in Srinagar’s major maternity hospital

SRINAGAR: In Srinagar's Government Lal Ded Hospital, a guy posing as a doctor is reported to have examined female patients for the past three days. According to Deputy Superintendent of Hospital Dr Mimoona, the impostor was caring to patients in the hospital's extremely private labour suite, usually writing prescriptions for ECGs. She stated that the impostor had been given to the police. It is exceedingly challenging to understand how this bogus doctor entered the hospital's labour area among a big crowd of patients and visitors, the speaker claimed.According to Dr. Mimoona, this fraudulent doctor was caught yesterday ordering an ECG for every patient in labour and identifying himself as a cardiologist from the Shri Maharaja Hari Singh (SMHS) Hospital in Srinagar. She claimed that one of the medical professionals working in the delivery room had called to inform her about a bogus physician posing as a cardiologist and exclusively giving ECGs to patients. She claimed that when we enquired about this person at the SMHS hospital, they informed us that no such doctor had been sent there.She said, "The person was not looking mentally fit while talking to the security personnel. We called the security person of Jammu and Kashmir Police who were on duty and they took him to the control room where doctors remain who always question." She claimed that they had taken him away. According to reports, the police have called the person's family to the police station and are awaiting medical records to determine his mental state.

These comments were delivered by Dr. Mehta as he presided over a meeting to assess the suggested action plan created to preserve our water bodies in accordance with the NGT's recommendations.

Onus lies with Pakistan for creating conducive atmosphere for resumption of Indo-Pak dialogue: Omar

JAMMU: Omar Abdullah, vice president of the National Conference, stated on Wednesday that Pakistan is responsible for fostering an environment in Jammu and Kashmir that will allow for the restart of talks with India. ''This runs the risk of damaging a very strong bilateral relationship,'' he said, referring to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations of a ''potential'' involvement of Indian agents in the killing of a Khalistani separatist leader in Canada in June. Given the significant problems in the women's reservation bill, especially the timing for its implementation, the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir stated that his party will not be able to unilaterally endorse it."We have always backed communication between India and Pakistan, but for the discussions to pick back up, a friendly environment is required. At the headquarters of his party in this city, Abdullah told reporters that creating a climate that is conducive to discussion is not just India's job but also Pakistan's. He stated that the happenings in Rajouri, Kokernag, and Srinagar cannot help in fostering the conducive environment required for the conversation in reference to the army and police officials who died in recent confrontations. He claimed that so far, he has not observed any action from the adjoining nation that would aid in fostering the favourable environment required for the talk."I constantly think back to the quote by A. B. Vajpayee, the previous prime minister, that you may change your friends but not your neighbours. No matter what we do, that nation (Pakistan) will continue to be a neighbour. However, he added, "that nation must strive towards creating a favourable environment before negotiations can begin. Abdullah, a former Union minister of state for external affairs, responded that if the Canadian prime minister had any supporting documentation, he should submit it to the world community when questioned about the assertion. ''He says it's based on an ongoing inquiry,'' he says. He should not have preempted the investigation's results by acting now; instead, he should have waited for it to be finished.The connection with Canada has always been extremely good, so if he has evidence to back up his allegation, I would humbly recommend that he share it with the international audience. Otherwise, his comment carries the risk of tarnishing a very solid bilateral relationship. Abdullah said, "That will be really sad. According to him, it will take at least 10 years to implement the women's reservation measure that was introduced into Parliament on Wednesday. The bill mentions delimitation and a census before it is put into effect. Therefore, there is no chance before 2029 and there is a strong likelihood that it would fail by 2034. Why call a special session of Parliament when we had to wait at least ten years to pass a measure is unclear. He suggested that it might have been brought during the winter session. Abdullah stated that they hoped the bill will be enacted quickly and put into effect right away. "This bill has flaws, and we will work to have those flaws fixed." I don't see how we will be able to support a bill that we feel still has flaws on our own,'' he said. He stated that the National Conference has always supported the dignified repatriation of Kashmiri Pandits and their subsequent rehabilitation.Who will object to it (the rehabilitation and return of migrant pandits)? You won't need to drag them back, I've always said. They departed from there (Kashmir) as a result of their sense of unease. They will return if you give them a sense of security again, he said. Moving them from one camp to another, according to him, is meaningless. The environment must be created so they return voluntarily and can reside wherever they choose. That is what we want to see, Abdullah remarked. [caption id="attachment_2970" align="alignnone" width="300"] Onus lies with…
