Congress-NC alliance is not about one Cabinet berth, it is about J&Ks people: Ghulam Ahmad Mir
Srinagar, Sep 3: Senior Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir on Thursday defended the partys alliance with the National Conference, saying the partnership was not forged for a Cabinet berth or any individual political benefit but to safeguard the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking about the continuing discussion over the vacant Cabinet berths in the Omar Abdullah-led government, Mir said the Congress should not be viewed merely through the number of MLAs it has in the Assembly. We have supported the National Conference at this time. We did not give this support for a Cabinet berth or for any job. We gave it because of the way communal forces are looking at Jammu and Kashmir, their attacks and their desire, which they had earlier as well, to establish themselves here, Mir said. He said the Congress had a larger political role to play in Jammu and Kashmir and that its commitment to the alliance went beyond the question of ministerial representation. If the National Conference is still safe, it is because of the Congress party, because the Congress party is the only party which will never want to give the BJP an opportunity. This is a solid commitment, he said. Mir was responding to questions over the delay in the expansion of the Council of Ministers and reports that one of the three vacant Cabinet positions could go to the Congress. He said the issue had been under discussion for several months but maintained that the decision to induct or drop ministers ultimately rested with the Chief Minister. You have been hearing about Cabinet expansion and induction for three months. There is a date after date, but in practice it has not happened, because this is the sole prerogative of the Chief Minister. He will decide when and which MLA he wants to take and whom he wants to drop, Mir said. At the same time, he said the matter should not be reduced to a bargaining exercise over one Cabinet seat. The Congress is also a very big ocean, and Congress also has to look at the entire situation of Jammu and Kashmir. This is not merely about one Cabinet berth. The question is about the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the issues of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he said. Mir also cautioned against repeatedly referring to the Congress as a party with only six MLAs in the Assembly. If the National Conference looks at the Congress only according to the number six, if it weighs it on the basis that these are six people, then I think it is doing injustice to the Congress today, he said. He pointed out that the alliance had benefited both parties electorally and politically. It has to be weighed as a party. It is because of this party that the alliance happened and the National Conference benefited from it, and after that, if our party got six seats, Mir said. Government of India responsible for security situation Mir also criticised the Centre over the continuing security challenges in Jammu and Kashmir, saying the Union government could not shift responsibility for the situation to the elected government in the Union Territory. Referring to threats against Kashmiri Pandits and recent militant incidents, he said the security situation had been one of the principal reasons cited for the changes made to Jammu and Kashmirs constitutional and administrative status in 2019. The question arises that on August 5, 2019, citing these very threats, these very selective killings and these very incidents, the Home Ministry and the Government of India, without asking us, cut our neck and brought our state down, Mir said. He said the Centre had justified the move by arguing that it was necessary to improve the security situation and ensure that the entire law-and-order situation was dealt with by the Government of India. Now it is the seventh year. And even after the seventh year, we continue to see every year that killings are taking place, selective targets are taking place, and Kashmiri Pandits are also receiving threats, he said. Mir argued that responsibility for the situation therefore lay with the Centre. If this is a failure, then it is the failure of the Government of India, and all the agencies are in their hands, he said. He added that Jammu and Kashmirs security and law-and-order machinery was no longer under the control of an elected state government. Today, no person in Jammu and Kashmir has these security agencies or law and order in his hands. In the UT, the Lieutenant Governor is looking after it, and at the Centre, the Home Minister of India is looking after it. So definitely, if the voice is raised that threats are still being received, the responsibility goes to the Government of India, Mir said. Financial situation not so bad that children should be on streets Mir also backed the demands of protesting students and professionals seeking greater financial assistance from the Jammu and Kashmir government. He said the demands appeared genuine and that Jammu and Kashmir was providing significantly less support compared with other states. It is a human issue, clearly. Their issue should be resolved. We will also appeal to the Chief Minister because Finance is with him and he should take a call, Mir said. While acknowledging the Union Territorys financial constraints, he said the government should find a middle path. We believe that the financial situation of our state is not so good. But it is not so bad either that we should see thousands of our children on the streets. Some middle path should be found, he said. Mir warned that if the issue remained unresolved, the Congress would raise it with other political parties and seek a clear response from the Chief Minister when the House resumes. If they do not do it, then definitely, being the Congress legislature party in the House, we will talk to other parties as well, and from the 21st, when the House begins, if it is not resolved by then, we will definitely want, along with our other colleagues, that the Chief Minister give a solid answer on this and resolve their issue, he said. On Congress and possible political returnees Asked about speculation surrounding leaders who may seek to return to the Congress, Mir said the partys doors remained open to those who shared its ideology. Congress is an ocean. But Congress has its own ideology. For those whose ideology matches that ideology, or whose ideology aligns with the Congress ideology, the doors are open, he said. However, he dismissed speculation about some individuals returning to the party, saying some of them had left Congress decades ago. Some of those whose names you have taken left Congress after eating and drinking for 40-45 years, and their stomachs may not yet be full there, so why would they look back? Mir said, adding that much of the speculation was confined to social media. He also criticised the conduct of the two major political parties during a recent protest, arguing that issues affecting ordinary people had been sidelined. There was no issue of 14 million people in it. Both of them were for taking a chair and saving a chair. This was the first time in 80 years of democracy that the party in power was on the streets, Mir said. He said political parties should instead be taking up issues such as unemployment, rising electricity bills and the problems faced by young people. If tomorrow a forum is formed and takes up all these issues and says, Come to Srinagar, and five lakh people stand there, demanding answers from both governments, then will pellet guns be fired at that time? Will it be said then that they were anti-national? Mir asked.

2 people were killed and suspect is dead in downtown Minneapolis shooting
Minneapolis, Sep 03: Two people were killed and the suspect is dead after a shooting in a downtown Minneapolis apartment building Wednesday afternoon, according to police. Three Minneapolis police officers were also injured, including two of them from gunshot wounds, police Sgt. Garrett Parten said at a press conference on Wednesday evening. All three officers are in stable condition, according to Hennepin County Medical Center. A 911 call about shots fired at the building came in just after 4:30 pm and officers entered the building three minutes later to find victims inside the high-rise, Parten said. They heard more gunshots and followed them to a higher floor, where they found a haze that significantly limited their visibility, he said. This is a tremendously tragic event and our thoughts and prayers are with the families, the loved ones of those who lost their lives, those who were injured and with the injured officers and their families, Parten said. One of the victims was fatally shot at the scene, and one died after arriving at the hospital, he said. Parten said it was not immediately clear how the shooter died. Hennepin County Medical Center said it received seven patients but didn't share additional information about the conditions of those wounded. Julius Bailey was sitting outside of his apartment building when he heard gun shots and saw a man he recognised as a resident of the building holding a pistol. Bailey said he heard a woman screaming and immediately started running away. He said he counted eight shots. Bailey said that he recognised the man holding the gun because he was someone who was known for showing off his weapon. Bailey said he has tried to avoid the man since moving into the building in June. I could tell he was trouble, he said. Chris Miller, who also lives in the apartment building, said he heard a rapid succession of gunshots and quickly ran outside for safety. He said he believed he knew who carried out the shooting and that he encountered someone in the hallway with a handgun earlier this week and reported that person to management. Video posted to social media showed police aiming rifles upward at an apartment tower near the Minneapolis Convention Center. Officials warned residents to avoid the densely populated Loring Park neighbourhood nearby. Minnesota Gov Tim Walz said in a post on social media that state officials are on the ground helping local law enforcement respond to the shooting. Grateful to law enforcement actively working to ensure the safety of our neighbours in Downtown Minneapolis this afternoon, Walz said. Minnesota is praying for our first responders. The FBI is responding to the shooting and will offer any and all resources necessary to assist local authorities, Director Kash Patel said in a post on the social platform X.

People are angry, that is why they are on streets: LoP Sunil Sharma
Srinagar, Sep 02: Leader of Opposition in the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly Sunil Sharma on Wednesday said the BJPs protest in Srinagar reflected what he termed the failures of the National Conference-led government, as party leaders and workers gathered at Lal Chowk ahead of a planned march towards the Civil Secretariat. Security was tightened across Lal Chowk ahead of the BJPs proposed Civil Secretariat gherao, with the Hari Singh High Street road towards the Secretariat closed and heavy deployment of police and paramilitary personnel in place. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the gathering near the Clock Tower, Sharma said people were taking to the streets over issues including electricity, water, roads and unemployment. This is a reflection of the failures of the government, which you are seeing on the streets today. Those who are yearning for electricity and water, those who are yearning for roads, those who are yearning for a job, especially young people, those young people are told that today they will not get a job from PSC or SSRB, Sharma said. He alleged that the government had failed to provide adequate employment opportunities to the youth and claimed that jobs were being linked to contractors associated with the National Conference. Today you ask for a job from a contractor of the National Conference. Today, if you have to appoint a doctor anywhere, he will be the contractor of the National Conference, he alleged. Sharma also criticised the government over the increase in electricity tariffs, saying it had placed an additional burden on the poor. On top of that, the government has increased the electricity tariff and has put a burden on the poor. People are angry, that is why they are on the streets, he said. Targeting Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Sharma questioned the promises made by the National Conference during the Assembly elections, including its commitments on Article 370, free electricity and jobs. Mr Omar Abdullah had said he would bring back the so-called Article 370. He had said he would give 200 units of electricity for free and 100,000 jobs, Sharma said. He also challenged Omar Abdullah to seek a fresh mandate from the people on the issue of statehood. If Mr Omar Abdullah has even a little bit of dignity left, then come and fight the elections on statehood and resign from Ganderbal. If people win the elections and send you to the statehood, then we will bow before you, Sharma said. The BJP had announced that it would march towards the Civil Secretariat as part of the protest. The party leaders and workers were gathered at the Clock Tower at the time of filing this report and had not yet begun the march.(KNO)

A total of 279 individuals were reported injured, with 168 already discharged from hospitals and 2,740 receiving medical treatment from Nepal Army medical teams. Additionally, NDRRMA outlined critical response developments across flood-devastated regions, detailing high-risk subterranean search-and-rescue operations at hydropower sites alongside ongoing transport corridor repairs. Specialised teams comprising Nepal Army personnel, the Armed Police Force, and Nepal Electricity Authority staff, supported by international experts, continue complex operations inside flooded tunnels. At the Trishuli 3-A Hydropower Project, a 90-person crew located the Crown Head section and cleared 10 meters of mud, but heavy water discharge from an initial test drill forced personnel to drill at a secondary location to gain safe access. At Trishuli 3-B, an excavator was airlifted via helicopter to support a 47-member search force. Search teams led by Nepal Army officers and foreign experts penetrated 300 meters into the Haku tunnel head and 250 meters into the Mailung tunnel tail at Upper Trishuli 1, navigating through 3 to 4 meters of dense, swampy mud. Specialised Collapsed Structure Search and Rescue units reached 57 meters inside the Chilime facility, while additional teams extended searches 200 meters into Rasuwagadhi and 150 meters into the Langtang project tunnels. Across hard-to-reach terrain, Nepal Army ground forces remain active across seven dedicated zones in Nuwakot district, supported by 18 helicopter shuttle flights focused on rescue and extraction. Significant efforts are also underway to restore destroyed transport links and infrastructure. Road crews are clearing debris and conducting repairs on the large river bridge along the Galchhi-Devighat corridor, while technical surveys have commenced for a replacement Bailey bridge after the Tadi River structure was swept away. Clearance crews have advanced past the cliff zone near Dhunge Bazar toward Betrawati, though a 300-meter section of the remaining 2.8 km stretch was completely washed away, leaving the river flowing through the former roadbed and forcing teams to map alternative bypasses. To sustain essential traffic and movement, authorities have opened several alternative access routes. Light vehicles are operating along the Bahunbesi-Lachyang-Parchyang-Dhunche route as well as the Betrawati-Rasuwa bypass via Dhikure, Phedibesi, Chogate, and Borembhyang. Standard traffic continues along the Bidur-Chogate, Borembhyang-Lachyang-Jirokilo-Dhubbesi stretch and the Koloni-Buddhasinghghat road. Meanwhile, heavy machinery supplied by Bidur Municipality is clearing the Bidur-11 Thapatar-Betrawati section, with additional clearance initiatives underway to reopen the Chogate-Borembhyang-Dandadhara-Patikharka route for heavy transport. NDRRMA noted that a force of 21,314 security personnel is deployed across the disaster zone, comprising 9,199 from the Nepal Army, 7,912 from the Nepal Police, and 4,203 from the Armed Police Force. Emergency relief materials are moving continuously into affected areas, with 37 trucks and 37 Bolero vehicles dispatched by road, supplemented by 77 relief flights conducted by the Armed Police Force to locations in Rasuwa and Nuwakot, plus nine additional helicopter deliveries. To provide temporary support, 3,453 displaced citizens are staying in holding centers located in Nuwakot, Rasuwa, Kathmandu, and Dhading. Financial aid from the Government of Nepal includes NPR 10 million each allocated to Rasuwa and Nuwakot, NPR 5 million to Dhading, and NPR 67.5 million distributed among 15 affected local governments. Essential services and supplies are steadily being restored in the disaster zone. Nepal Telecom has made all 110 damaged towers operational, while Ncell has restored 75 of its 78 damaged towers. Fuel stocks in the region stand at 42,000 litres of diesel, 18,000 litres of petrol, and 6,000 litres of aviation fuel. (ANI)
Psychology says people who thrive in chaos may actually be seeking stimulation, not stress
