'People Feel Looted': Opposition unites against Govt's power tariff hike

Srinagar, Aug 24: Opposition parties in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday came out in unison against the government's decision to hike electricity tariffs, with Apni Party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) staging separate protests across Srinagar, demanding an immediate rollback of the 6.83 percent increase for 202627. Apni Party leaders and workers gathered at Press Colony, led by Provincial President Mohammad Ashraf Mir. Police prevented the protesters from taking out a procession, but they raised slogans against the government, denouncing the decision as anti-people. Meanwhile, PDP General Secretary Mohammad Khursheed Alam led a separate demonstration, joined by senior leaders including former Minister Asiya Naqash, Anjum Fazili, Iqbal Tramboo, and a large number of party workers. Addressing the media, Mir criticised the government for adding to the financial hardship of ordinary citizens. It is unfortunate that, despite being fully aware that people are already facing severe financial hardships due to growing unemployment, shrinking business opportunities and rising inflation, the government has chosen to increase power tariffs. This additional burden is simply not tolerable, Mir said. He also slammed the government for failing to fulfill its electoral promises. The ruling party had promised 200 units of free electricity and free gas cylinders to every household. Instead of keeping these promises, the government has now put an additional burden on the people, he added. PDP General Secretary Khursheed Alam echoed similar sentiments, saying people's trust in the government had been betrayed. People voted for this government with the hope of relief, but today they feel looted by rising tariffs and increasing costs. At a time when families are struggling with inflation and unemployment, increasing electricity tariffs is completely unjustified, Alam said. Former Minister Asiya Naqash said the tariff hike would disproportionately affect poor and middle-class families. Electricity is a basic necessity. This decision should be rolled back immediately, she demanded. PDP spokesperson Mohammad Iqbal Tramboo said the hike reflected the government's failure to address consumers' concerns, while party leader Arif Laigroo called for improving power supply and reducing wastage instead of imposing additional burdens.

Aristotles ideas about pleasure, attention and competing activities offer a way to understand this everyday habit, while modern research suggests that screen use during meals can also influence eating behaviour.

Fawning is a trauma response where individuals placate perceived threats, diverging from the instinctual fight-or-flight reaction.

Landslide at landfill in capital of Guinea kills 30 people, officials say

Conakry (Guinea), Aug 23: Amountainous heap of refuse collapsed at the largest landfill in Guinea's capital Conakry early Sunday killing 30 people, according to an updated toll released by the central government. Authorities said heavy rains, which started at around 2 am washed over the refuse at Dar Es Salam, triggering a landslide that buried nearby shacks. A search and rescue operation was underway to find survivors. Six people were seriously injured and several homes were destroyed. The site, an open-air waste dump, which is the largest in the city, had been designated for closure on Sunday, according to Lt. Col. Bald Mamadou Bailo, the sanitation officer for the military engineering battalion.
