The Research Station will offer cutting-edge scientific tools to boost agricultural output and farmers' financial security.In addition to producing high-quality inputs like seeds, planting materials, organic goods, bio-fertilizers, livestock and poultry strains of the farmers, the establishment of the Research Station and additional Krishi Vigyan Kendra will have a significant impact on raising awareness about improved agricultural technologies through numerous extension programmes. Another noteworthy development is the permission of the transfer of 47 Kanals and 13 Marlas of land in Chadoora, Budgam, in favour of the Animal and Sheep Husbandry Department for the construction of infrastructure for milk processing. The construction of infrastructure for milk processing will have numerous positive effects on the economy, the creation of jobs, human health, food security, and agricultural practises.It will advance the dairy sector by enhancing local economies and communities as a whole. The dairy business in J&K has enormous economic potential for UT because it creates jobs and improves the quality of life for the locals. The dairy industry is expected to experience substantial expansion in the state of Utah in the next years due to rising demand for dairy products and lower per capita milk availability than in many other states with high milk potential.

Kashmiri journalist Majid Hyderi booked under stringent PSA

editor September 19, 2023

SRINAGAR:Majid Hyderi, a journalist and political analyst, has been booked under the strict Public Safety Act (PSA), according to officials. Majid Hyderi was detained last week by the Jammu and Kashmir Police on suspicion of criminal conspiracy and extortion. According to them, Hyderi has been arrested under the PSA and is being held at the Kot Balwal jail in the UT's Jammu region. Hyderi, a local of the Peerbagh neighbourhood of the city, was detained late on Thursday night after police reported him in accordance with a court's directive. "FIR number 88/2023 under sections 120B, 177, 386 and 500 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was registered at the Sadder police station on the basis of an order issued by the JMIC court in Srinagar," police said on X.Police stated that he was detained on suspicion of criminal conspiracy, intimidation, extortion, providing false information, defamation, and other offences. The journalist and political pundit who frequently appeared on television news channels was granted bail on Saturday but was then detained again the next day for a different offence. Omar Abdullah, a former chief minister of J&K and vice president of the National Conference, referred to Hyderi's PSA arrest as extremely upsetting. The reports of #MajidHyderi's PSA imprisonment are quite upsetting. If true, this is again another example of how the current J&K administration is intolerant of any criticism. In a post on X, Abdullah said, "I don't think there is very much he and I would ever agree on because we are ideologically poles apart, but this reported detention and shift to a jail in Jammu is cruel & unnecessary." Use the available defamation laws if Majid Hyderi has said something that offends someone. Even while he does endanger a few reputations, he isn't a threat to public safety, the NC leader added.

Success Of G20 Belongs To 140 Crore Indians Not To Individual Or Party: PM

editor September 18, 2023

NEW DELHI, Sept 18: The success of the G20 Summit held here, according to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was due to the 140 crore Indians who made up the nation, not any one person or political group. As he opened the Lok Sabha debate on "Parliamentary Journey of 75 years starting from Samvidhan Sabha — Achievements, Experiences, Memories and Learnings," he greeted the delegates and guests by mentioning the federal system, diversity, and many state administrations. A summit of the Speakers of the Parliaments of the G20 nations would shortly be conducted, he added. "The 140 crore Indians are responsible for the G-20's success. This is India's prosperity, not the success of any one person or political group. In order to display the many hues of India, more than 200 meetings were held at 60 different locations thanks to India's federal structure and diversity, Prime Minister Modi said. Everyone should rejoice over this achievement, he said, and India should be pleased that the African Union joined the G20 when it held the presidency. The prime minister recalled the emotional moment when the African Union's (entering the G20) announcement was made and the president of the organisation stated he would probably cry while speaking. Modi also discussed the G20 declaration consensus that was reached. Many people, he claimed, had predicted that the G20 summit would not result in a declaration. But this is India's strength, an agreement was reached on a declaration.According to PM Modi, the P20 summit of the Speakers of the Parliaments of the G20 countries would take place soon. India is now holding the G20 chair until November. According to Modi, India is now the world's friend. Modi remarked, referring to the old Parliament building where he was speaking, that although foreign rulers had decided to build it, the Indian people had put in a lot of effort, sweat and money to get it done. The Imperial Legislative Council was the previous name of this structure. It became the Parliament building after Independence, he claimed.Many democratic customs have developed over the past 75 years, and everyone in the House has contributed to them, according to Modi. The prime minister said, "We may go to the new building, but the old building will also inspire generations to come. This is an important chapter in India's journey."

editor September 18, 2023

SRINAGAR, Sep 18: Eknath Shinde, the chief minister of Maharashtra, and Manoj Sinha, the lieutenant governor of Jammu and Kashmir, declared on Sunday that the terrorists would receive a suitable punishment and that the deaths of Army and Police officers in the recent encounter in Anantnag would be avenged. "It is a tragic situation. Whether they are in the Army or the Police, our jawans risk their life to defend our borders. We are able to enjoy our festivals in this way and continue living our lives. This incident is condemned by every citizen of the nation, as am I. The terrorists would receive a suitable response, and PM Narendra Modi will be held accountable for every drop of blood, Shinde told reporters after attending an event here. The terrorists murdered a soldier on Wednesday along with Colonel Manpreet Singh, Commanding Officer, 19 Rashtriya Rifles, Major Ashish Dhonchak, Deputy Superintendent of Jammu and Kashmir Police Humayun Bhat, and Major Ashish Dhonchak. The LG warned the audience during his speech that the terrorists' managers would pay a high price and that every drop of the martyrs' blood would be avenged. "We have total faith in the bravery of our warriors, and I want to reassure you that we will seek vengeance for every drop of blood shed. Terrorist handlers will be forced to pay a high price. The entire nation is united in support of the soldiers, according to Sinha.According to him, resentment among terrorists over the smooth operation of the G20 Summit and the crackdown on conflict profiteers in Jammu and Kashmir led to the attack on security forces in Anantnag. The terrorists who recently attacked the Army and police personnel at Pakistan's behest were irritated with the G20 Summit's successful administration and the clampdown on conflict profiteers. For the sake of preserving the nation's unity and integrity, our jawans offered the ultimate sacrifice. I submit to their offering," he stated. The ecology that has stifled the average man in Jammu and Kashmir, according to Sinha, must be destroyed. To celebrate Prime Minister Modi's 73rd birthday, the NGO Sarhad Pune held a ceremony to honour 73 people who helped the public during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Amarnath Yatra. "On the occasion of Prime Minister Modi's birthday, Sarhad Pune honours those who risked their life to save others' during COVID-19 and the Amarnath Yatra. The friendship between Maharashtra and Jammu and Kashmir has also begun a new chapter as a result," Shinde added.
