'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.

Philosophy says people who watch content while eating instead of having a screen-free meal may experience everyday pleasures differently

Philosophy suggests that people who watch videos or other content while eating may experience the pleasure of food differently because their attention is divided between the meal and the screen. 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.

Such people often focus on immediate experiences, value flexibility and adjust to events as they happen.

Psychology explains how trauma can trigger the lesser-known fawn response, making some people act calm and cooperative instead of fighting, fleeing or freezing during a threatening situation

Fawning is a trauma response where individuals placate perceived threats, diverging from the instinctual fight-or-flight reaction. Survivors might engage in cooperative behaviors to diffuse potential danger. Traumatic memories often manifest as disjointed sensations or emotions. Recognizing these responses fosters a trauma-informed perspective, emphasizing understanding and non-judgmental support for those affected.

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. Locals living around the landfill had been given eviction notices, which forced many to vacate the area, but many were still around at the time of the disaster, according to authorities. We will ensure that the remaining families are relocated elsewhere, said Dienabou Tour, the minister of territorial administration and decentralisation, at the scene.

Govt adding to peoples miseries: Altaf Bukhari

Srinagar, Aug 22: Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Saturday accused the elected government of adding to the hardships faced by people instead of addressing their grievances, warning that his party would oppose any move to further burden consumers, including a hike in power tariffs. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a party event, Bukhari said the Apni Party would continue to raise issues affecting the public and oppose decisions that increase their financial burden. We will not allow the implementation of any decision that further burdens the people, including a hike in the power tariff. We will oppose any such move tooth and nail, even if we have to take to the streets, he said. The remarks came during an event organised to felicitate Haji Mohammad Syed Akhoon, who was recently appointed as Apni Party Vice President after joining the party. Congratulating Akhoon, Bukhari said the veteran leader brought extensive political experience and knowledge that would strengthen the partys efforts to serve the people. He said the Apni Party did not judge its leaders and workers by their positions and described it as a platform focused on public welfare rather than any individual or family. Bukhari also said the party was committed to creating better opportunities for young people, particularly in employment, so they could build their lives with dignity. Reacting to the recent Kishtwar tragedy involving a minor girl, Bukhari described the incident as deeply painful and shocking and called for severe punishment for those responsible. He urged the police and civil administration to conduct a fast-track investigation. On US Ambassador Sergio Gors recent remarks describing Jammu and Kashmir as an important part of India, Bukhari said the statement merely reflected a fact. Of course, Jammu and Kashmir is an important and integral part of India, he said, while stressing that people in J&K should enjoy the rights and privileges guaranteed to every citizen under the Constitution. Bukhari also called for greater attention to the hardships faced by youth in Jammu and Kashmir, saying there was an urgent need to address their concerns and provide them with opportunities.

Only insensitive govt can put additional burden on people: Altaf Bukhari on power tariff hike

Srinagar, Aug 22: Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP) president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari today expressed disappointment over hike in power tariff in Jammu and Kashmir, saying only an insensitive government can think of putting an additional burden on people. Taking to micro-blogging site X, Bukhari said: Only a government that is insensitive towards the problems and grievances of people can think of putting an additional burden on them by increasing power tariffs. At a time when the people are already facing serious challenges like unemployment, rising inflation, and difficulties in the tourism and horticulture sectors, one fails to understand why the authorities have approved an average 6.83% hike in power tariffs for 202627. The ruling party had promised 200 units of free electricity and free gas cylinders for domestic use. These promises were made to seek votes from the people. But two years after coming to power, instead of providing relief to people already struggling with hardships, the government has chosen to increase power tariffs. This is deeply disappointing. Bukhari said that Apni Party stands firmly with the people in these difficult times, and will strongly raise this issue and oppose the power tariff hike. He added that the party will continue to stand with the people and fight against every decision that adds to their hardships.
