Explosive Revelation: Officials' Rampage In Local Shop Amid Rate List Dispute

Danish Naseer

Srinagar, 16 March: In a bone-chilling turn of events that has sent shockwaves through Karnah, Sajid Ahmad Sheikh's humble shop has become the epicenter of a terrifying confrontation between authorities and the downtrodden. At the stroke of noon today, a menacing coalition of power-hungry officials, spearheaded by the iron-fisted President of Beopar Mandal Karnah, descended upon Sajid's sanctuary of commerce.

Under the scorching sun, amidst the hustle and bustle of afternoon activity, these agents of oppression launched a brazen assault on Sajid's livelihood. With no regard for decency or fairness, they wielded their authority like a weapon of mass destruction, intent on enforcing compliance with a disputed rate list at any cost.

As the hapless shopkeeper looked on in disbelief, the officials unleashed a whirlwind of terror, sparing neither mercy nor restraint. Despite finding no trace of wrongdoing, they callously ravaged Sajid's inventory, leaving behind a trail of devastation and despair. The echoes of Sajid's pleas for reason were drowned out by the thunderous roar of oppression, reverberating through the streets like a clarion call to arms.

In the wake of this brazen act of aggression, the community finds itself teetering on the brink of revolt. With each blow struck against Sajid's livelihood, the flames of resistance burn ever brighter, fueled by the collective outrage of a populace pushed beyond the limits of endurance.

As shadows lengthen and the sun sets on Karnah, a palpable sense of fear and defiance permeates the air. Amidst the chaos, the people and shopkeepers unite in a resounding call to the Local Administration of Karnah: "Issue the exact rate list as per government rules! We reject the arbitrary rate list imposed by Beopar Mandal Karnah! Let justice prevail and our voices be heard!" The stage is set for a battle not just for survival, but for the very soul of Karnah itself.

Indian Army's Sari Battalion Extends Urgent Assistance To Families Affected By Devastating Fire In Gabra B Karnah

Danish Naseer

Srinagar, 28 February: In a heart-wrenching turn of events, the tranquility of Gabra B Karnah was shattered last night when a ferocious fire tore through two homes, leaving families displaced and destitute. As the flames engulfed their dwellings, the harrowing cries for help pierced through the silent night, summoning urgent aid.

Responding to the distress call with unwavering resolve, the Indian Army's Sari Battalion, stationed under the Shakti Vijay Brigade, swiftly sprang into action to extend a lifeline to those caught in the throes of tragedy.

EMERGENCY RATIONS DISTRIBUTION: A Beacon Of Hope Amidst Despair

In the wake of the calamity, the Sari Battalion orchestrated the seamless distribution of emergency rations, ensuring that no stomach grumbled amidst the chaos. Rice, wheat, lentils, and cooking oil formed the bedrock of these provisions, offering sustenance and solace to the displaced families grappling with hunger amidst their grief.

TEMPORARY SHELTER ESTABLISHMENT: A Shelter From The Storm

With homes reduced to ashes and dreams up in smoke, the need for immediate shelter loomed large. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the Indian Army erected temporary shelters in secure locations, providing a sanctuary from the biting cold and piercing winds of winter. These shelters, though humble in their construction, stood as bastions of hope, offering refuge to the dispossessed until the dawn of a new day and the promise of brighter tomorrows.

In the face of adversity, the Indian Army's Sari Battalion stands as a beacon of hope, embodying the ethos of service and sacrifice. As the flames of destruction are quelled and the smoke dissipates, the spirit of resilience burns ever brighter, uniting communities in solidarity and fortitude.

As the sun sets on this dark chapter, let us stand together, hand in hand, to rebuild what the fire sought to destroy, forging bonds of compassion that transcend the ashes of despair.

Danish Naseer

Srinagar, 10 Feburary: In the picturesque valley of Sonamarg, amidst the majestic Himalayan ranges, the Jawahar Institute of Mountaineering and Winter Sports (JIM and WS) is currently abuzz with the sounds of adventure as it hosts its annual skiing courses. Established in 1983, JIM and WS has been a beacon of adventure and skill development in India, thanks to a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Defence (GOI) and the Government of Jammu And Kashmir.

The institute's reputation precedes itself, renowned for its expertise in various adventure activities such as Mountaineering, Skiing, Trekking, Rescue Operations, Water Rafting, Paragliding, and Expeditions. Each year, approximately 1000 students from various parts of India flock to JIM and WS to nurture their talents and embrace the spirit of adventure and nation-building.

At present, JIM and WS is conducting skiing courses at Sonamarg, featuring the Basic Skiing Course No.63 with 69 students and the Intermediate Skiing Course with 23 students. What makes these courses even more remarkable is the diversity of their participants, hailing from states far and wide including Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Gujarat, Tripura, among others. Notably, these courses are offered at a fraction of the actual cost, thanks to funding from various government departments: 75% by MoD, 15% by MYAS, and 10% by the Jammu and Kashmir Government.

The primary aim of JIM and WS is to expose youth to the wonders of nature, ignite the spirit of adventure, and instill a sense of nationalism. This commitment was recently showcased through historic events hosted by the institute, including the Lidderwat Trail Run and the Unity Run, both of which attracted participants from across the valley and beyond, while also promoting local employment opportunities.

Looking ahead, starting from February 15th, JIM and WS will kick off a Special Skiing Course at Pahalgam, offering enthusiasts a chance to refine their skills on the pristine slopes of the region. Additionally, the institute has plans to conduct a Special Basic Mountaineering Course along with specially designed Adventure courses tailored for school children and NCC participants.

In a significant stride towards self-sustainability and promoting adventure tourism, JIM and WS has forged partnerships with civil adventure enthusiasts. Through collaborations and initiatives like Ice Climbing Competitions and the Lidderwat series of trail runs, the institute aims to showcase the breathtaking beauty of the valley while advancing its visibility.

With an action-packed season ahead, filled with diverse adventure activities and collaborations, JIM and WS is poised to make significant contributions towards promoting tourism, fostering local employment, and advancing the progress of the valley.

As the institute extends a warm invitation to media representatives to witness firsthand the dedication and skill development of their students, they emphasize the importance of documenting and sharing these experiences on social media platforms. Through such efforts, JIM and WS aspire to inspire a broader audience to embrace adventure and contribute to the nation's growth.

In alignment with their mission to foster adventure and nation-building, JIM and WS is collaborating with the Public Relations Office of Jammu and Kashmir to create a positive impact on society, seeking the support of media professionals in covering their training activities and amplifying the recognition of their institute.

Frozen In The Shadows: Kashmir's Winter Nights Prolonged By Unyielding Electricity Woes And Corporate Obligations Unmet

Danish Naseer

Srinagar, 04 February: On the 4th of February 2024, Dr. Amir Rashid Wani, a prominent Peace Socio-Political Activist and Chairman of Mooj Kasheer Welfare Trust, issued a comprehensive statement expressing deep-seated concerns over the deteriorating electricity situation in the Kashmir Division. The backdrop of his statement is the persistent and unsettling issue of unscheduled power cuts, which have exacerbated the challenges faced by residents, particularly during the unforgiving winter season.

Dr. Amir Rashid Wani highlighted the disconnect between the promises made by the Power Development Department (PDD) and the ground reality experienced by the people. Despite the introduction of a new curtailment schedule by the PDD, it appears that its implementation has been inconsistent, leading to widespread power outages. The recent snowfall in various parts of the Kashmir division has only intensified the problem, leaving far-flung areas engulfed in darkness and residents grappling with the harsh consequences of being without power in such extreme weather conditions.

The Peace Activist urged the Power Development Department to take immediate and effective measures to ensure uninterrupted power supply around the clock. Emphasizing the urgency of the situation, he called for dedicated teams to be dispatched promptly to areas where repairs are needed, with the aim of swiftly restoring power to affected regions. The statement underscored the pressing need for reliable electricity services, particularly during adverse weather conditions that pose serious challenges to the well-being of the local population.

Dr. Amir Rashid Wani did not limit his critique to the Power Development Department alone. He extended his concerns to hydropower generating companies operating in Jammu And Kashmir. Despite generating substantial revenue from their operations, these companies have seemingly fallen short in fulfilling their obligations under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In particular, he pointed out the shortcomings of Independent Power Producers (IPPs) like the Chandigarh-based PNR group.

Drawing attention to the Branwar area, where the PNR group had established a Mini Hydro Electric power plant under the Build Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) agreement, Dr. Amir Rashid Wani lamented the failure of the company to provide the promised subsidized power to local residents. Furthermore, he criticized the lack of utilization of CSR funds for the welfare of the community, especially when juxtaposed with the substantial increases in power tariffs imposed by the Power Department. This disconnection between the financial success of hydropower companies and the unmet needs of the local populace underscored the broader issue of accountability and responsibility within the sector.

In a fervent appeal, Dr. Amir Rashid Wani called upon the Administration to take immediate and necessary measures to address the genuine grievances of the people. He stressed the need for a proactive and comprehensive approach to not only mitigate the current challenges but also to enhance the overall quality of electricity services across the Kashmir division. The statement concluded with a poignant reminder of the critical role electricity plays in maintaining a decent quality of life, particularly during the challenging winter months, and the imperative for swift and effective action to ensure the well-being of the affected communities.

Escalating Drug Abuse Threatens Jammu And Kashmir's Youth: Dr. Amir Rashid Wani Urges Immediate Action

Danish Naseer

Srinagar, 02 Feburary: In a press conference held today, Dr. Amir Rashid Wani, a distinguished Peace Socio-Political Activist and Chairman of Mooj Kasheer Welfare Trust, brought attention to the alarming surge in drug abuse among the youth in Jammu And Kashmir. The gravity of the situation was underscored as Dr. Amir Rashid Wani detailed the profound and far-reaching side effects this epidemic is inflicting upon the region's young population.

Dr. Amir Rashid Wani expressed deep concern over the increasing prevalence of narcotics, emphasizing that this crisis not only poses a severe threat to the physical and mental health of the youth but also undermines the very fabric of the society. The accessibility of drugs has contributed to a sharp rise in addiction cases, subsequently leading to a surge in crime rates and an overall deterioration of the social well-being of the community.

Addressing the urgency of the matter, Dr. Amir Rashid Wani announced a multifaceted awareness and rehabilitation program initiated by Mooj Kasheer Welfare Trust. This comprehensive plan aims to address the root causes of drug abuse through educational initiatives, counseling services, and the establishment of robust support networks. By empowering the youth with the necessary tools and resources, the program seeks to break the vicious cycle of addiction and foster a renewed sense of hope within the community.

The Mooj Kasheer Welfare Trust's initiative serves as a crucial step towards mitigating the adverse effects of drug abuse. Dr. Amir Rashid Wani implored local authorities to collaborate with organizations like his to implement stringent measures against the drug trade. He emphasized the importance of collective action and community engagement, urging residents to actively participate in reporting suspicious activities and supporting rehabilitation efforts.

As Jammu And Kashmir grapples with this pressing issue, Dr. Amir Rashid Wani's call to action stands as a beacon of hope. It serves as an urgent reminder that concerted efforts, both at the organizational and community levels, are essential to curb the spread of drug abuse and pave the way for a healthier, drug-free future for the youth of the region.

His words conveyed not only sympathy but also a sincere desire for the swift recovery of those who were injured, emphasizing the importance of communal support during such trying times.

Beyond the broader expressions of condolence, Dr. Amir Rashid Wani took a personal approach by addressing the specific tragedy of Mohammad Hussain Kishoo (Zarkob). The late Mr. Kishoo, son of the late Ghulam Mustafa Kishoo and a resident of Nawab Bazar, Kanipora, became the focal point of Dr. Amir Rashid Wani's compassionate outreach.

In an act of empathy, the Peace Activist extended his condolences directly to the grieving family of Mohammad Hussain Kishoo. Dr. Amir Rashid Wani went beyond words by leading a delegation from the Mooj Kasheer Welfare Trust to visit the residence of the deceased. This personal gesture aimed at providing not only condolences but also a tangible presence of support to the family in their time of need.

During this visit, the delegation, under Dr. Amir Rashid Wani's guidance, expressed their deepest sympathies and condolences to the grieving family members. Recognizing the profound pain associated with losing a family member, they shared in the sorrow of the bereaved and offered prayers for strength and patience.

The visit also encompassed collective prayers for the departed soul of Mohammad Hussain Kishoo. The delegation, representing the Mooj Kasheer Welfare Trust, sought solace for the departed in the hope that Jannat-Ul-Firdous, the highest paradise in Islamic belief, would be the eternal resting place for his soul.

In summary, Dr. Amir Rashid Wani's response to these tragic incidents goes beyond a formal acknowledgment of the events. It reflects a deeply compassionate outreach, combining general expressions of sympathy with targeted support for a specific grieving family. In doing so, Dr. Amir Rashid Wani exemplifies the role of a compassionate leader, offering not only words of comfort but also a tangible presence of solace to the communities affected by these unfortunate circumstances.

Major Terror Cell Dismantled In Kashmir: Indian Authorities Thwart Weapons Smuggling Operation

```DANISH NASEER```

Srinagar, 28 January: In a high-stakes and pivotal operation, the J&K Police, working in tandem with the Indian Army's 09 PARA Field Regiment, successfully dismantled a terror cell operating in the northern Indian region of Kashmir. The cell was intricately involved in smuggling weapons from neighboring Pakistan, with the five suspects arrested during the operation found to be affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a notorious jihadi group with deep-rooted connections to Afghanistan's Taliban regime.

The arrested individuals are believed to be part of a larger network that has declared jihad on India, aspiring to establish an Islamic state in the Muslim-majority Kashmir region. This development is not isolated but rather part of a protracted conflict that has plagued the region for decades, with LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) actively engaging in acts of terror.

The historical backdrop of the Kashmir conflict is stained by mass killings, particularly in the early 1990s, when Islamic terrorists targeted native Hindus and Sikhs. The resulting violence forced the non-Muslim population to flee to other parts of India, leading to Kashmir becoming over 90 percent Muslim. The ongoing jihadist activities, supported and armed by Pakistan, have persisted, posing a continual security challenge in the region.

This unfolding event occurs amid India's persistent efforts to combat terrorism in Kashmir. The revelation by the Enforcement Directorate of a terror-financing operation linked to Hizbul Mujahideen, another active terrorist group in the region, underscores the complex nature of the threats faced by Indian security forces. The charge-sheet filed against Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists, including Mudasir Ahmad Sheikh, Mushtaq Ahmad Kambay, and Mohammed Iqbal Khan, reinforces the imperative to confront and dismantle the financial networks supporting terrorism.

The specific operation in J&K's Kupwara involved the interception of a terror module engaged in the smuggling of various arms and ammunition. LeT handlers, based in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK), were identified as Manzoor Ahmad Sheikh alias Shakoor and Qazi Mohammad Khushal. Zahoor Ahmad Bhat, a key figure arrested in the operation, played a pivotal role in facilitating the smuggling and distribution of the seized materials, which included an AK Rifle, two pistols, along with magazines and rounds.

Acting on credible information from multiple sources and collaborating with sister agencies and military counterparts, J&K Police effectively thwarted the nefarious plans of the terror module. The investigation revealed that consignments sent from across the border were delivered to other terror associates in contact with Zahoor Ahmad Bhat and the mentioned handlers.

Preliminary findings indicate that Zahoor Ahmad Bhat, residing in close proximity to the Line of Control (LoC), was a key link in this smuggling network. The arrest of additional terror associates, namely Khursheed Ahmad Rather, Mudassir Shafiq, Ghulam Sarwar Rather, and Qazi Fazal Illahi, further underscores the scale and complexity of the operation.

The seized arms and ammunition, including 5 AK Rifles (Short), 5 AK Magazines, and 16 Short AK Rounds, highlight the potential threat that was successfully averted by the security forces. As authorities continue their investigations, this operation stands as a testament to the ongoing challenges faced in maintaining peace and security in the region and the unwavering commitment of law enforcement agencies to counteract cross-border terrorism. The broader implications of this event emphasize the importance of international cooperation in addressing the root causes of terrorism and fostering stability in regions marred by conflict.
