editor September 19, 2023

Ganderbal, Sep 19 : Manoj Sinha, the lieutenant governor of Jammu and Kashmir, stated on Tuesday that a "major recruitment drive" will be conducted within the next six months to fill all open positions in the various government ministries. Speaking to a crowd in Central Kashmir's Ganderbal district after officially opening and laying the cornerstones for a number of development projects, the LG noted that the UT administration had launched a recruitment drive the previous year, and hundreds of young people had been hired using a fair process. The speaker added, "Let me announce here that all the vacant posts in various government departments will be filled within the next six months through a proper recruitment drive," adding that "poor man's child also has a right to become an officer."The LG said that a vegetable vendor's daughter just joined the KAS. "She told me when we first spoke that she never saw herself as an officer. I reassured her that children of poor people had the same rights as children of rich people, he said. The LG attacked regional parties, claiming that "some party's looted the State exchequer, built enormous villas in foreign countries, and left the common of J&K suffer." The LG claimed that these people "can't handle peace" and that they keep hatching plans to incite and mislead people under various pretexts.He claimed that inhabitants of the Ganderbal district received 2800 Awas through the Prime Minister Awas Yojna Scheme. "Let me be clear: No non-J&K resident in the Ganderbal district has received an Awas. However, the LG claimed that some people are plotting to hinder the move because they find it insulting to witness a poor man build their homes. According to the LG, the days of establishments like schools collapsing at the direction of Pakistan or "its stooges here" were long gone. J&K is progressing towards prosperity and peace. He asserted that people are satisfied and enjoying nightlife.He said that 1.88 billion visitors visited J&K in 2017. Who gained from that? a local cart vendor, hotelier, Riskhaw wall, shikara walla, and taxi driver are among examples. 1.52 million tourists visited J&K this year until August, and that number is expected to reach 2.25 million, according to the LG, who also added that some people find it difficult to comprehend the large number of visitors to J&K and create claims in an effort to mislead others. According to the LG, Ganderbal is headed for rapid development. "I am happy that Ganderbal is soon going to establish itself as a major tourism destination. A staggering 3.5 lakh tourists arrived in Sonmarg, he claimed.The unpleasant aspect was that the projects whose foundation stone was placed in 2011 were being inaugurated today after a significant wait of 12 years, according to the LG, who claimed to have launched a number of projects in the area. "Previous leaders here established a pattern of starting initiatives but never finishing them. The current administration completed 33 of the 75 projects in Ganderbal that were on the list of unfinished business, and the remaining 45 will be finished soon, he said.

editor September 19, 2023

SRINAGAR : National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah stated on Tuesday that the party is not opposed to the Women Reservation Bill and has no issues if it is put into effect. When did we oppose women's reservations? It was put into practise by us personally in panchayats and other places. We support women's rights because they make up 50% of our population and should have the opportunity to serve as elected officials. Abdullah told reporters in Budgam, "We don't oppose to this. Abdullah responded that the party does not lack qualified female leaders when asked if it will affect the party's prospects in J&K. "What effect will it have? Do you believe there won't be any women running for the designated seats at the polls? There are plenty of female candidates throughout the NC. We have a women's wing, and they are fighting tooth and nail. "No bill will have any effect on us." Only because our leaders here are afraid of the polls do we suffer. They are now kings without a crown. They are not interested in holding the election. He made apparent allusion to the Centre-imposed LG government when he added, "The risk is from people who are fleeing elections. The women's reservation bill, which would provide women a third of the seats in the Lower House of Parliament, state legislatures, and the Delhi legislative assembly, was introduced by the government on Tuesday in the Lok Sabha. A supplementary list of business included the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Eighth Amendment) Bill, 2023, for presentation in the Lower House.

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."
