NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader Karan Singh, the son of the late Maharaja Hari Singh of Jammu and Kashmir, praised the Supreme Court's ruling confirming Article 370's repeal and urged everyone to "accept the inevitable." The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that no decision made by the Centre on behalf of a State may be challenged in court, upholding the Union Government's decision to repeal Article 370 of the Constitution, which granted Jammu and Kashmir special status. Singh also recommended that political parties in J&K move forward with their preparations for the upcoming elections rather than needlessly pushing themselves too far. Singh also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reinstate statehood."I'm glad to have it. It's evident now that whatever took place was lawful under the constitution.I ask Prime Minister Modi to quickly reestablish statehood "A section of people in J&K who will not be happy with this judgement, my sincere advice is that they should accept the inevitable and they should accept the fact that now this has been done and the Supreme Court has upheld the action and therefore there's no point now unnecessarily hitting their head against the wall," he continued. "I now advise them to focus their efforts on contesting the upcoming elections. People ought to be inspired there right now rather than becoming pessimistic," Karan Singh continued.

GANGTOK: After a thirteen-year absence, the 14th Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet, Tenzin Gyatso, arrived here on Monday morning for a three-day visit to Sikkim. While he is in the Himalayan state, he will give lectures on the "Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas". At approximately 10.30 am, the Dalai Lama touched down at the Libing army helipad in East Sikkim, where he was greeted by Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang. Monks from different monasteries in the state also gave him a warm welcome, performing a traditional Buddhist ritual called "Sherbang," which involves prayer and dancing. He was greeted by a few representatives of the Local Tibetan Assembly, Tibetan Settlement Office, and the exiled Tibetan Parliament.Hundreds of people lined up on both sides of the highway from Deorali to Zero Point to see the 87-year-old Dalai Lama when he visited a hotel in Gangtok. On Tuesday, he will give lectures at Paljor Stadium, which is about 50 km from the India-China border in Nathula, on the "Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas". According to Gangtok SP Tenzing Loden Lepcha, "about 40,000 devotees will attend the event at Paljor Stadium to receive blessings from the Dalai Lama." The Dalai Lama last travelled to Sikkim in 2010. According to officials, he will also figuratively lay the cornerstones for the Karmapa Park project at Rumtek and the Gyalwa Lhatsun Chenpo statue at the Simmik Khamdong constituency in the Gangtok district. He will remain in Gangtok until Thursday morning, at which point he will travel to Salugara, a town in Siliguri, West Bengal. The October visit of the Dalai Lama to Sikkim was cancelled because of a flash flood that left thousands of people homeless and claimed many lives.

SAMBA: In a tragic car accident at Nanke Chak last night, two young people perished, including a bridegroom who was scheduled to attend his marriage reception here. A Breeza car with registration number JK21-G 1311, reportedly carrying the groom and his friend, was en route from Lengath village to Samba. It was struck by a swift caravan with registration number PB04N 9375 that was travelling from Punjab to Jammu after it arrived at Nanke Chak. Two young people were killed on the spot, including the unfortunate bridegroom who was scheduled to attend his marriage reception ceremony at Samba on Sunday night, when the caravan pulled the car behind it for a short distance before turning into a turtle and crushing the car beneath it.The bridegroom, Sushil Kumar, son of Mansukh Dayal of Langath near Nanke Chak, Samba, and his friend, Romi, son of Ashok Kumar of Nanke Chak, were identified as the deceased. The bridegroom planned to take his wife, who had gone to the Beauty Parlour at Samba for makeup, to her wedding. But as soon as word got out about the bridegroom's and his friend's deaths, all the celebration and merriment quickly gave way to grief. Family members, friends, and other relatives of the deceased were shocked by the pall of gloom that had descended upon the marriage reception party. According to reports, the dead bodies were trapped inside the car when it turned turtle and was crushed by a trailer.After frantic efforts by police and Traffic Police officers, who used cutters to cut the car in order to extract the bodies, they were removed from it. The police brought the deceased bodies to Samba Hospital for a postmortem and other official procedures. The police have started a manhunt to search the trailer's driver, who is also at large. The collision caused a massive traffic jam on the Jammu-Pathankot National Highway, trapping cars for up to five kilometres. To clear the congestion and resume traffic on the highway, police and traffic police had to work together for hours. People from the surrounding areas flocked to the scene in a state of panic shortly after the accident. The bodies were trapped in the caravan, which had crushed the car beyond recognition, so they also called the police to remove the dead bodies. Two days prior, Sushil's marriage ceremony was held, and on Sunday, the family hosted a reception for the marriage at a Samba marriage hall.
