Not Holding Assembly Polls In J&K Despite Situation Being ‘Normal’ Is Matter Of Grave Concern: Azad

editor October 21, 2023

SRINAGAR, Oct 21: Former chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad stated here on Saturday that although the situation in Jammu and Kashmir is "normal," the ongoing delay in holding assembly elections is a cause for "grave concern." Speaking at a public gathering in Batamaloo, Azad stated that although the current state of affairs has "not been more normal in the last 30-35 years" than it is, this may be the first instance in J-K's history when assembly elections have not been held in such a lengthy period of time.Elections were held after five to six years, according to Azad, "when the situation was bad in J-K, there was bloodshed and leaders left the Valley, Kashmiri Pandits left the Valley." "However, elections have not been held in the last nine years despite the fact that the situation is normal today and has not been more normal than this in the previous thirty to thirty-five years." The head of the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) and a former congressman expressed significant worry over this. According to Azad, this was the area's first rally in the previous 36 years."I appreciate you being here; the quantity of people doesn't important, but it's amazing that there is calm in this region and that a political gathering could happen. In the past 35 or 36 years, this is, I believe, the first political gathering held here. "No one had the guts to hold a meeting here when I was the Chief Minister or in the Congress. Since, however, things were not going well in this department. Now that the city is at peace, I'm glad," he remarked. Although the Lieutenant Governor's administration was doing its duties, the former Chief Minister of Jamaica stated that it could not take the role of elected officials.While the administration is carrying out its duties, this is not one of them. We are expecting them to perform a task that is not theirs but rather belongs to ministers, MLAs, and elected representatives, he added. I'm not saying LG isn't doing his duties, or that officers aren't working hard enough. He remarked that a Chief Minister or an elected MLA goes around, talks to people, and finds out what problems they are facing. "That doesn't happen now since an officer's job is to operate the office, not to do that. He stated, "If MLAs are appointed secretaries, they will delete the files in a single day.Subsequently, in an interview with reporters, the chairman of the DPAP stated that his party has consistently insisted for assembly elections since only lawmakers are able to adequately represent the people. "The secretariat would suffer if the officers operate like MLAs, notwithstanding their intelligence and goodness. Thus, the MLA election ought to happen," he declared. Azad mentioned the state of affairs in the Gaza Strip and said that people were expecting the powerful nations to bring about peace. Sadly, when the powerful nations themselves become interested in restoring peace and tranquilly, who will do so?He stated, "We can only pray because of the way things are in Gaza—the way children are dying, the way there is no food, water, or milk, and it has become the world's largest prison—the powerful countries could have stepped in and helped, but since they haven't, we are left with no other option. In order to put an end to their suffering, he urged everyone to pray for the people of the Gaza Strip.

65% Fall In Incidents Of Terrorism, Left-Wing Extremism, Insurgency In Northeast : Shah

editor October 21, 2023Leave a comment

New Delhi, Oct 21: Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated on Saturday that there has been a 65% decrease in terrorist, left-wing extremist, and insurgency occurrences in the Northeast. In addition, he declared that "three hotspots—the Northeast, Jammu and Kashmir, and LWE (Left Wing Extremism-hit states) are becoming peaceful." After honouring martyrs on Police Commemoration Day at the National Police Memorial here, the home minister addressed a crowd and stated that the Narendra Modi government had enacted harsh legislation while upholding a zero-tolerance policy against terrorism. According to him, the establishment of the "Police Technology Mission" to modernise the police force is another way that the government has attempted to create the greatest counterterrorism force in the world.According to Shah, the Modi administration has filed three bills in parliament that aim to completely restructure the criminal justice system. The minister stated that the three bills will supersede laws that date back 150 years and ensure that every person has all the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. The proposed laws will also take Indianness into account. "The efforts and accomplishments of police personnel have resulted in a 65 percent decrease in terror, Left Wing Extremism, and insurgency incidents in the Northeast," stated Shah.He claimed that police officers have proven their worth in every circumstance, whether it be combating terrorists, stopping crime, upholding law and order in front of big crowds, or shielding civilians during emergencies.Regarding the part that police play in a disaster, he mentioned that in the past, members of various police forces have gained recognition in the field of disaster management through the National Disaster Response Force, or NDRF. "People gain confidence that there is no problem now that the NDRF has arrived, regardless of the size of the disaster," he said. Shah claimed that by periodically altering various programmes, the Modi administration is trying to improve the wellbeing of police personnel.He stated that the Modi administration is committed to the wellbeing of every employee and worries about their security. In honouring the 36,250 police officers who have given their lives in the line of duty since the country's independence, he stated that this police memorial is more than simply a symbol; it is a recognition of the commitment and sacrifice made by police officers to the advancement of the nation. At the Hot Springs in Ladakh, on October 21, 1959, ten police officers were killed while performing their duties amid an ambush by highly armed Chinese troops. October 21 is now remembered annually to memorialise these martyrs as well as all other law enforcement officers who lost their lives while performing their duties.The National Police Memorial (NPM) in Chanakyapuri was dedicated to the nation on Police Commemoration Day in 2018 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in honour of the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers and their critical role in maintaining national security and integrity. The memorial is made up of a museum, the "Wall of Valour," and a centre sculpture. The centrepiece, a granite monolith cenotaph rising to a height of thirty feet, represents the bravery, tenacity, and selflessness of law enforcement officers. The names of martyrs are inscribed on the "Wall of Valour," which honours the courage and selflessness of police officers who have given their lives while performing their duties since the country's independence.The museum is intended to be a historical and dynamic display of Indian police.

Power position better than previous yrs: LG

editor October 21, 2023Leave a comment

SRINAGAR: According to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, his administration has been able to give the public access to more electricity than in prior years. The LG stated that there has been a significant increase in transmission and distribution capacity over the past three years while speaking to a press conference about the state of the power system in Jammu and Kashmir at Raj Bhavan. "We have been able to provide more electricity to the people compared to before, but it is also a reality that our losses have increased," he stated. According to Sinha, the administration is making every effort to satisfy the peak demand for power throughout the winter. According to him, his administration seeks minimum curtailment in places where 100% metering has been accomplished.According to the LG, the administration is attempting to implement widespread metering in the UT. "In the first phase, smart metres are being installed in Srinagar and Jammu," he stated. According to him, J&K purchases power for about Rs. 10 per unit, but provides it to clients who fall below the poverty line for Rs. 1.25 per unit. "There is already a huge subsidy, but you all know how much money comes from the billing," he stated. According to Sinha, the Union Cabinet made a crucial decision this week when it approved the interstate transmission system for the 13 GW renewable energy project in Ladakh, which is part of the green energy corridor phase two project. According to him, Jammu and Kashmir would gain a great deal from the Ladakh energy project since it would lessen reliance on hydroelectricity, which decreases in the winter. J&K will greatly gain from it. The initiatives will lessen the Valley's reliance on hydro energy output, which decreases in the winter, by providing an alternate power supply via the current 220 KV Leh-Alusteng-Srinagar Transmission System', he stated. According to the LG, if necessary and feasible, J&K may want to build extra transmission lines in order to obtain more electricity from the aforementioned RE projects. "The transmission line for evacuating power will run through Himachal Pradesh and Punjab to Kaithal in Haryana, integrating with the National Grid and interconnection to Ladakh's existing grid and the 220kV Alusteng Grid in Ganderbal district of Kashmir through Leh-Alusteng-Srinagar line, to provide power to J&K," he stated. "It is certain that the power transfer from Ladakh will positively impact the entire Kashmir valley, improving power availability round the year, especially during power deficit winter months," he stated. According to him, the power situation in the Jammu region would also improve because there will be a proportionate decrease in the amount of power sent to Kashmir from the 400kV Kishanpur and Jatwal central sector grids located in Jammu. "This reduction will free up tied capacity at these grids, thereby improving availability in Jammu throughout the year," he stated. "The power supply from the said BESS-supported renewable energy generator, located near Kashmir, will mitigate the low voltage conditions experienced during winters in the valley due to the decrease in hydro generation," he stated. The project is expected to cost Rs 20,773.70 crore in total and be operational by the 2029–2030 fiscal year. The Central government would provide Rs 8309.48 crore, or 40% of the project's total cost, in financial aid. The LG stated that all preparations for winter readiness have been finished."Stock of essentials including ration, wheat, LPG cylinders and medicines are being stocked ahead of winter," he stated. According to Sinha, roadways would no longer be harmed during the snow removal process because of the purchase of contemporary snow removal equipment.
