UDHAMPUR: Bharat Sinh Solanki, a senior AICC official and the party's liaison for J&K affairs, claimed on Friday that the BJP was avoiding local and assembly elections out of concern that it would lose, "thus depriving people of J&K of basic democratic rights". He claimed that the BJP should be held accountable for the injustices done to the people of J&K, since they had stolen their jobs, land, and statehood. Speaking alongside a group of local leaders to party workers in Udhampur, Solanki declared, "After losing the Kargil hill council polls, the BJP called off all elections, from local councils to panchayats. Even though the Supreme Court ordered that the long-overdue Assembly elections be held before the end of September this year, no one knows when they will take place."In a scathing attack, Solanki accused the saffron party of "bringing unprecedented price rise of all commodities like petrol, diesel, LPG and other items". Solanki urged the populace to rise up against the BJP government's purportedly incorrect policies, saying that voters have to support issues that truly affect the nation's common people and reject the BJP's polarising strategies. Vikar Rasool Wani, the president of the UT Congress, claimed that the BJP has caused suffering for the people of J&K by stealing their rights. "There is widespread unemployment and joblessness, and the resources are being mercilessly plundered, depriving the people of a secure environment and means of subsistence. All significant projects are being worked on by outside contractors at the expense of local contractors, and there is no involvement from local stakeholders," Wani stated. Raman Bhalla, the working president of the J&K Congress, took aim at the BJP for launching new booze stores in Jammu, which is known as the "City of Temples," and other places where young people are readily gullible.

UDHAMPUR: Today, the government changed the name of the Udhampur district's Martyr Captain Tushar Mahajan Railway Station to "Martyr Captain Tushar Mahajan Udhampur Railway Station." In honour of the valiant son of the soil, Martyr Captain Tushar Mahajan, who lived in Udhampur's Adarsh Colony neighbourhood, Northern Railways renamed the Udhampur Railway Station as Martyr Captain Tushar Mahajan Railway Station on September 17, 2023.

JAMMU: The Administrative Council (AC), which met here under Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, approved a proposal of the Cooperative Department that calls for 90% credit (up to a limit of Rs 9 lakh) offered by Cooperative Banks and financial assistance of 50% (up to a ceiling of Rs 4.50 lakh) of loan amount and 100% interest subvention to be given by the government in order to encourage Cooperatives to set up small food processing units costing up to Rs 10 lakh. Attending the meeting were Mandeep Kumar Bhandari, the LG's principal secretary, Atal Dulloo, the chief secretary, and advisor to the lieutenant governor, Rajeev Rai Bhatnagar. Cooperative Banks would lend money to J&K-registered cooperative societies up to 90% of the project cost, or Rs 9 lakh, whichever is smaller, if they are willing to establish food processing units. The cooperative must establish and operationalize the food processing plant within a year, following which the government would reimburse the cooperative bank for 50% of the loan amount, up to a maximum of Rs 4.50 lakh. In the second, third, and fourth years of the loan, the beneficiary cooperative is required to pay the remaining principal amount in three equal installments to the relevant cooperative bank. When the beneficiary cooperative repays the loan to the bank on schedule, the government will pay the cooperative bank the full interest on the loan amount. Under this project, the Cooperative Department aims to establish 80 Food Processing Units in two years (2023–2024 & 2024–2025). The institutional framework for carrying out and overseeing this plan, including of committees for the development, assessment, and endorsement of DPRs and proposals, has also been authorised. Farmers will be able to work under this programme, and cooperative bank employees and others working in the cooperative sector would also receive guaranteed repayments.

NEW DELHI: Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, stated on Friday that the BJP and RSS are completely in favour of running the entire nation out of Delhi. On the second day of his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in the state of Assam, Gandhi addressed a public gathering in Gogamukh in the Lakhimpur district of the state and stated that his party is against the proposed system. "Hindustan ought to be ruled by one language, under one leader, from Delhi, according to the BJP and RSS. We don't agree. Assam will be governed from Assam, not from Delhi, the speaker declared. Gandhi started this march from Manipur in the east to Mumbai in the west, emphasising that the Congress valued every state equally."The Northeastern states and the security of its people are just as important to us as any other state," he stated. He also criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for avoiding Manipur despite the fact that ethnic conflict has been roiling the state since May of last year. "A state is experiencing a crisis akin to a civil war for the first time in India's history. However, the PM has not made a single trip to the state. He said, "He can't go there because it will reveal the BJP's political realities. Gandhi criticised Himanta Biswa Sarma and called him the "most corrupt" chief minister for the second day in a row. Gandhi continued his yatra in Assam on the second day, travelling through the districts of Majuli and Lakhimpur. On Saturday, he would travel to Arunachal Pradesh following his overnight stay in Gogamukh.
