Psychology explains why people seek closure after breakups and why moving on often feels so difficult

Breakups cause mental discomfort as the brain dislikes uncertainty and unresolved endings. Recalling breakups activates brain regions associated with physical pain, explaining heartbreak's ache.

Moving on involves finding peace with the past, even when questions remain unanswered.

J&K ideological cradle of party, win peoples trust: BJP president

Jammu, Jul 7: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Nitin Nabin on Tuesday emphasised the synergised efforts to win peoples trust in J&K the ideological cradle of party, bolster organisational structure and expand its (BJPs) footprints across the Union Territory. He exhorted the BJP MLAs to work proactively in tandem with the cadre to address peoples issues to strengthen the party's prospects with nation first approach. Nitin Nabin made this exhortation during his address in a joint meeting with the J&K MPs, MLAs, former MLAs, former Legislative Council members, state general secretaries, former District Development Council (DDC) members and former Block Development Council (BDC) members. At the outset of the meeting, he reviewed the prevailing socio-political situation in Jammu and Kashmir and the organisational roadmap for the coming months. He emphasised that the BJP's greatest strength was in its disciplined organisation and dedicated cadre, asserting that elected representatives and organisational workers must function as one cohesive team to further strengthen the party at the grassroots. NitinNabin said that every MP, MLA and senior leader should maintain constant coordination with the party cadre, ensuring their active participation in all organisational programmes. He said that such synergy between the organisation and public representatives was indispensable for strengthening the BJP's presence across every village, ward and booth. He called upon all leaders to intensify public contact, remain accessible to the people and effectively communicate the policies and achievements of the Narendra Modi-led government. BJP national general secretary, RajyaSabha MP, and in-charge J&K affairs TarunChugh; J&K BJP president and RajyaSabha MP Sat Sharma; Union Minister of State in PMO DrJitendra Singh; Leader of the Opposition in J&K Legislative Assembly Sunil Sharma and former Deputy Chief Minister DrNirmal Singh shared the dais with the national president in the meeting at the party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. Laying special emphasis on the Mann Ki Baat programme, NitinNabin directed that it must be organised at every single booth across Jammu and Kashmir with maximum public participation. He pointed out that through Mann Ki Baat, the Prime Minister consistently highlighted ordinary citizens achieving extraordinary feats and encouraged numerous social reform movements, inspiring millions to contribute towards nation-building. NitinNabin, along with other senior leaders appreciated the dedicated efforts of MLA Balwant Singh Mankotia under Udhampur district for successfully organising Mann Ki Baat programmes on maximum booths and asked others to maximize their efforts in the coming months. Sat Sharma said that the guidance provided by the national president would further energise the party cadre across Jammu and Kashmir. He said the J&K BJP always functioned with discipline and dedication, and every worker was committed to taking the party's programmes to the grassroots. He affirmed that all elected representatives would work in complete coordination with the organisational structure, ensuring that every campaign, meeting and public outreach programme reached the booth level. Prior to the meeting. NitinNabin, accompanied by Chugh, Sat Sharma, Dr. Jitendra Singh, MLA YudhvirSethi and other senior BJP leaders, paid floral tributes to the legendary nationalist leader and PrajaParishad founder, Sher-e-DuggarPanditPremNathDogra, at his statue at PanditPremNathDograChowk, Jammu. The BJP president described Dogra as one of the tallest architects of nationalist politics in the region. He remembered his immense contribution to the cause of national unity and the complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of India. He said that Dogras sacrifices continued to inspire generations of BJP workers. Pandit Prem Nath Dogra and Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee devoted their entire life to safeguarding the unity, integrity and sovereignty of India. They led the struggle for EkNishan, EkVidhan, Ek Pradhan, which became the ideological foundation of the movement that ultimately culminated in the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A under the leadership of Prime Minister NarendraModi. The people of Jammu & Kashmir have now attained the true benefits of constitutional equality, democratic empowerment and accelerated development, fulfilling the vision of PremNathDogra and DrMookherjee, said Nabin. TarunChugh said that the BJP drew its strength from the sacrifices of nationalist icons like Pandit Prem Nath Dogra, who fearlessly opposed separatist politics and worked tirelessly for complete national integration. He said, Today's stronger, peaceful and development-oriented Jammu & Kashmir stands as a tribute to those visionary leaders who never compromised on the nation's unity. Sat Sharma said that every BJP worker in J&K considered Dogra an eternal source of inspiration. He added that the organisation remained committed to carrying forward his ideals by strengthening the party at the grassroots while serving every section of society with dedication and nationalism. Dr. Jitendra Singh said that the constitutional changes made under Prime Minister NarendraModi gave practical shape to the aspirations for which Pandit Prem Nath Dogra dedicated his life, ushering in an era of equal rights, equal opportunities and unprecedented development for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

BJP to be voice of people as effective, vigilant opposition in J&K: NitinNabin

Jammu, Jul 7: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Nitin Nabin on Tuesday stated that the party would play the role of an effective and vigilant opposition in Jammu and Kashmir, vigorously and proactively raising the public issues. He asserted that the central governments relentless efforts, post Article 370, infused confidence in all sections of society and gave a new identity to women and youth of J&K to aspire to be partners in growth. I hope that the BJP, in its role as an opposition in the UT and the party in power at the Centre, will help in the progress of J&K and its people, keeping its culture and traditions intact, NitinNabin stated, while responding to media queries, on the sidelines of an official engagement, before wrapping up his two-day visit to Jammu. This was his maiden visit to J&K, after taking over as the president of BJP in January this year. I was fortunate enough to get an opportunity to visit Jammu and Kashmir on the occasion of 125th birth anniversary of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee. During the visit, we held meetings with the party leaders to analyse organisational issues; the implementation of the central programmes, BJP president said, in response to a question about the major issues which figured during the deliberations. He said that during the meetings, they deliberated upon the way the J&K (party) unit was implementing and consistently taking forward the welfare schemes, being run under the visionary leadership of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with commitment in J&K. We also discussed the process and the way forward to give further momentum to the organisational activities in an unrelenting manner. We discussed all those issues. We hope that the way J&K people have blessed us, we the BJPs committed cadre, will not only continue to serve people with a missionary zeal but also in the role of an effective and vigilant opposition. Our legislators will continue to raise the public issues proactively and with full force, NitinNabin asserted. He reiterated that J&K was witnessing a radical positive change after the abrogation of Article 370. We know that after a long-entrenched struggle, we (BJP) have been able to get J&K completely rid of Article 370, which has brought a revolutionary change in the lives of people here. That decision, taken under the leadership of the Prime Minister, has changed the way J&K, in the past, used to be projected across the world. Today, J&K is seen fully integrated with India, confidently marching forward on the path of progress, BJP president said. He maintained that the central government was consistently working with commitment to reinvigorate J&Ks rich legacy and vibrant culture and showcase it at the global scale, with all its grandeur. Earlier, the women and youth were being viewed with a different lens. Our government has worked to give a new confident identity to youth here. J&K youth are creating a niche for themselves with their struggle and hard work. The efforts by our government to promote tourism are finding a clear manifestation with a positive change in the lives of people, Nabin said. He asserted that the persistent endeavours of the central government to give respect to women infused a new confidence among all sections of the society, including women and youth to take forward J&K with pride. I hope that the BJP, in its role as an opposition in the UT and the party in power at the Centre, will help in the progress of J&K and its people, keeping its culture and traditions intact, he said. During the day, he also visited RSS headquarter in Jammu and held deliberations with the senior functionaries there. Wrapping up his maiden visit to the UT as BJP president on a reinvigorating note, Nabin left for the union capital this afternoon. In wake of some official engagements, he had to trim his itinerary to rush to New Delhi. On the second day of his visit, he was scheduled to pay obeisance at Vaishno Devi shrine and wrap up his visit with YuvaSamvad. Both the scheduled programmes, as per party sources, were cancelled to meet pressing engagements in the union capital. Besides tweaking his itinerary, Nabin also clubbed his scheduled separate meetings with the legislators, former legislators, DDC and BDC members and other functionaries and chaired a joint meeting to discuss key issues and take stock of the evolving political situation in J&K.
