editor October 24, 2023

Srinagar, Oct 24: Director General Police Dilbagh Singh stated on Tuesday that just 10 local teenagers in Jammu and Kashmir joined militant ranks in 2023, compared to 110 the year before. Singh was making an appeal to the ultras to desist from violence and reintegrate into society. Following his visit to the Mata Badrakali Temple in Handwara, Kupwara district, Singh informed media that the militant movement in Jammu and Kashmir was "almost finished" and that its "remnants" will soon be eradicated.Only ten (local) teenagers have joined militancy this year. A year before, 110 had turned militant. How fortunate it would have been for none of them to enlist, as even out of the ten, six have already died and the other four will soon follow in death. "They ought to veer off the violent path and return," he declared.According to Singh, terrorists have families of their own, and security personnel are not made happy by these kinds of murders. Additionally, I would like to state that we are not at all pleased with the deaths of militants. They are part of a family as well. We desire that everyone who has strayed from the road of peace return, give up their weapons, and lead a regular life," he continued. Over the past five years, the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has significantly changed, according to the DGP."The militancy, which had descended upon Jammu and Kashmir as a whole like a tragedy, has nearly ended, and what remains will be eradicated shortly. "Everyone can now move around freely and there is no longer a sense of fear." We live in peaceful and happy times right now," he remarked. He said that there are very few active terrorists in North Kashmir, but there are a few strange floating militants that constantly move from one location to another. They'll be removed as well.

“World has proved that there are different laws for Russia and Israel”: Omar

editor October 24, 2023

SRINAGAR:Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah declared on Tuesday that the world has demonstrated that Russia and Israel are subject to separate laws, in the midst of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The vice president of the National Conference (NC) remarked that innocent people are dying in Gaza bombardment while addressing the media reporters present on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. We have been against what is taking place in Gaza since the very beginning. Bombs in Gaza are killing innocent people... The world has seen that Israel and Russia are subject to distinct laws," Abdullah remarked.Speaking to the media, he posed questions to the world community, saying, "If what Russia did to Ukraine was a war crime, then what Israel is doing to Gaza is not wrong? It is impossible for both to be true. The world must now determine what is right." said Abdullah. Since October 7, Israeli attacks on Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 5,087 Palestinians. The majority of well-known political groups in Jammu and Kashmir, such as the NC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have denounced the conflict and demanded the establishment of peace. Mehbooba Mufti, the president of the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Democratic Party, expressed her disapproval of Israel on October 21 in response to the West Asian country's conflict with Hamas. Mehbooba Mufti and other demonstrators chanted "Israel go back" throughout the demonstration. In Palestine, 1,500 children have died. In Palestine, thousands of innocent people have perished. The entire globe is a spectator. When children were slain in Ukraine during their conflict with Russia, the world erupted in protest. Thousands of people have been slaughtered in Palestine recently, yet nobody is discussing it. We implore all countries to exert pressure on Israel to implement a cease-fire. In Palestine, atrocities are being committed. Israel is harming Palestinians with actions reminiscent of the Holocaust. In the long run, this can make things worse. Mehbooba Mufti declared, "Israelis have to evacuate Palestine.She had earlier declared that the dispute had nothing to do with Muslims and expressed her hope that the world community would wake up and find a solution. It is not a Muslim issue, Israel-Palestine...To stop bloodshed every day, I hope the world community wakes up and finds a lasting solution to this problem. We denounce Hamas's attack," she had declared. [caption id="attachment_4420" align="alignnone" width="300"] "World has proved that there are different…

BYJU’s CFO Ajay Goel quits after audit, Golani gets additional charge of India CFO

editor October 24, 2023

NEW DELHI: Ajay Goel, the Chief Financial Officer of Edtech startup BYJU'S, has left the company and is going back to Vedanta after concluding the financial year 2022 audit process, the company announced in a statement on Tuesday. The edtech firm has brought in seasoned businessman Pradip Kanakia as a senior advisor, and President (Finance) Nitin Golani has been granted more authority as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of India to manage the company's financial operations. "I appreciate BYJU'S founders and colleagues helping me put together the FY'22 audit in just three months. During my brief but significant tenure at BYJU'S, I am grateful for the support I received," Goel stated.According to the statement, he will move on after the financial year (FY) 2022 audit procedures are over. Sources claim that because Goel's departure was still being processed, the company's scheduled board meeting to approve the outcome in the second week of October could not proceed. The company's audit process will be materially impacted by the CFO's resignation, therefore even if Goel's audit is complete, the auditor BDO (MSKA & Associates) will sign off on the audit after conducting due diligence. Following the completion of the procedure by BDO (MSKA & Associates), the FY 2022 result will be presented to the board of BYJU for adoption, the source stated.After working for the company for six months, Goel has resigned. In the first week of April, BYJU's announced his hiring as Group CFO; however, as a result of internal reorganisation, he was tasked with overseeing finance at the Indian level. Deloitte, BYJU's auditor, quit in June, two months after Goel joined the company, alleging a delay in the completion of the financial accounts for FY 2022. Deloitte Haskins and Sells announced in a letter to the board of Byju that it is leaving its position as Think & Learn's auditor three years before its contract expires because of a protracted delay in the edtech company's financial statement for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022.Following the resignation of Deloitte Haskins and Sells, the company named BDO (MSKA & Associates) as its auditor. Kankia, a senior advisor at BYJU'S, has over 35 years of expertise, having held executive roles at Price Waterhouse and KPMG. Prior to moving into an operational role at Aakash following the acquisition by Byju for USD 1 billion in 2021, Golani served as Chief Strategy Officer at Aakash Education.He started his career with Grant Thornton Bharat and has since held positions at Accenture Strategy and MetLife. Byju Raveendran and Divya Gokulnath, the founders of BYJU, praised Goel for his work as CFO and showed faith in the new group. Golani declared he will assume the new position with a committed group of people.

Rajnath Singh performs ‘Shastra Puja’ in Tawang

editor October 24, 2023

ARUNACHAL PRADESH: Tuesday was spent celebrating Dussehra with Army personnel at a forward base in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. According to sources, the defence minister also conducted a "Shastra Puja"—a ceremony in which weapons are worshipped. Singh is celebrating Dussehra with the soldiers along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), a strategically significant position, during a period when China and India have been locked in a brutal standoff in some areas of eastern Ladakh for more than three years. For the past few years, Singh has celebrated Dussehra with "Shastra Puja," even while he was the Union Home Minister in the previous NDA government.In spite of the fact that both parties have concluded their disengagement from a number of regions after intensive military and political negotiations, Indian and Chinese troops have been engaged in combat for more than three years in certain areas of eastern Ladakh. India has consistently argued that normal relations with China are contingent upon peace prevailing in the border regions. Following the standoff in eastern Ladakh, the Army has increased personnel and weapon deployment along the roughly 3,500 km-long Ladakh-Arunachal Pradesh corridor, including in the Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh sectors.
