From isolation to independence
Anantnag, May 6:Faiqa Gulzar, 25, who hails from Guree village in Bijbehara, is learning to live life on her own terms -something that once seemed out of reach. On March 11, 2019, just days after finishing her 12th standard examinations, Faiqa's life took a sudden turn when she slipped from the second floor of her home. I didn't think it was something serious, she said. I believed I would recover and go back to normal life. The daughter of a retired Indian Army soldier and sister to a serving Army man, she was first taken to a local hospital and later referred to the Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS). However, her brother, home on leave from the Army, later shifted her to an Army hospital in Srinagar. He made sure I got immediate attention, Faiqa said. That changed everything. Doctors advised urgent spinal surgery. As the procedure was not available locally, she was airlifted to Delhi and admitted to the Army Base Hospital, where surgeons inserted two metal rods into her spine. The reality of her condition became clear only after she returned home. When I saw the wheelchair, I understood, Faiqa said. That was the hardest moment. She remained bedridden for nearly three years, moving between hospitals in Delhi and Srinagar. Alongside the physical strain, she faced remarks that left a lasting impact. Some would say I had become a burden, Faiqa said. It breaks you from inside. There were times, she said, when she struggled to see a way forward. Her turning point came in 2023 with a phone call from Javaid Ahmad Tak, a Padma Shri awardee who has lived with paralysis since 1990. Tak, who runs the ZebaAapa Institute of Inclusive Education in Bijbehara, encouraged her to step out and rebuild her life. He told me not to limit myself, Faiqa said. That gave me strength. Soon after, she joined the Voluntary Medical Society in Srinagar, where she was introduced to wheelchair basketball. At first, it was just about getting out of the house, she said. Then it became my passion. Faiqa began competing in local tournaments before moving to national events. She is now part of the Jammu and Kashmir wheelchair basketball team and has trained in Visakhapatnam for higher-level competition. Faiqa has also taken up wheelchair wrestling. Earlier, I wanted to become a teacher, she said. Now I want to represent my country in basketball. Alongside her sporting career, Faiqa has also started an online business to support herself financially. I wanted to be independent, she said. This helps me stand on my own. Faiqa now travels independently, manages her daily routine and is planning to buy a car to improve her mobility. Asked about her personal life, she was clear about her priorities. Yes, I want to get married, Faiqa said. But I will continue playing. She credits her family for supporting her through her recovery. They never gave up on me, Faiqa said. That is why I am here today. She hopes her journey will encourage families to support children with disabilities. Give them opportunities, she said. Don't hide them. Stand by them. Faiqa said her story is still unfolding - no longer defined by the fall that changed her life.

Srinagar, May 6: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah Wednesday asked party cadres to stay vigilant and alert the public about Delhi-made parties attempting to undermine and obstruct the functioning of the popularly elected government led by Omar Abdullah. He made these remarks while chairing a one-day Working Committee meeting of District Srinagar at the party headquarters, Nawa-e-Subha. The meeting was organized by District President Srinagar Peer Afaq Ahmad and was attended by Party General Secretary Ali Muhammad Sagar; Additional General Secretary and Rajya Sabha MP Choudhary Muhammad Ramzan; Advisor to the Chief Minister Nasir Aslam Wani; MLAs Mubarak Gul, Ali Muhammad Dar, Tanvir Sadiq, Ahsan Pardesi, Shameema Firdous, Mushtaq Ahmad Guroo, and Salman Ali Sagar; Provincial President Kashmir Showkat Ahmad Mir; Womens Wing Provincial President Er. Sabiya Qadri; Minority Wing Organiser JS Azad; Provincial Secretary Syed Tawqeer; Trade Union Convenor Ghulam Muhammad Hamdard; besides District Srinagar block presidents and office bearers. The meeting held detailed deliberations on pressing public issues and key organisational matters, with participants discussing challenges facing the party and possible ways forward. Dr Farooq in his address said the NC government led by Omar Abdullah is acting as a bulwark to safeguard the regions interests and protect the rights of its people, irrespective of caste, creed, or religion. He said that this has become a concern for certain forces in New Delhi and within Jammu and Kashmir that seek to erode the regions unique cultural and political identity. He asserted that the party will continue to defend the interests of the people from Lakhanpur to Kupwara and will not allow such forces to succeed. These forces may change faces and names, but their agenda remains the same, he said, adding that their aim is to weaken the regions distinct identity. He urged party functionaries to take the governments governance record to the grassroots and educate people about attempts to create divisions along religious, regional, sectarian, and ideological lines. He also called on the cadre to work closely with the public and actively help resolve their grievances.
