New Delhi , August 5 : Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday declared that Jammu & Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) remains firmly committed to reversing all administrative and constitutional changes that stripped the region of its special rights and threatened its distinct identity. In August 2019, the Central government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, repealed Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, effectively ending the special status given to Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcating the state into two Union Territories - Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. In a post on X, CM Abdullah quoted lines of the poem 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening' by famous American Poet Robert Frost. 7 years, we haven't forgotten & we haven't reconciled, far less accepted our current circumstances. My party & I remain committed to reversing all that was done to J&K that took away our rights & threatens our identity. 'The woods are lovely, dark & deep. But I have promises to keep. And miles to go before I sleep', he said. Earlier on Tuesday, former J-K Chief Minister and J-K National Conference president Farooq Abdullah called upon the central government to honour the assurances previously given to the local population and the entire country. Talking on the anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370, he said, The government should fulfil its promise; they have promised the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the country... they should fulfil the promise. Earlier today, Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister P Chidambaram termed the abrogation of Article 370 and the subsequent reorganisation of Jammu and Kashmir seven years ago as a Constitutional outrage, while questioning the government's timeline for restoring statehood. Marking the seventh anniversary of the landmark decision that stripped the region of its special status and bifurcated it into two Union Territories, Chidambaram noted that the story did not end there. Highlighting that a fundamental legal question still remains unanswered by the judiciary, in a post on social media platform X, Chidambaram said, Seven years ago this day, a Constitutional outrage was perpetrated splitting the State of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories. The story did not end there. The question whether a State can be divided and reduced to UTs was raised before the Hon'ble Supreme Court, but the Court declined to decide that question on the ground that the Government had assured the Court that Statehood will be soon restored. The National Conference has repeatedly urged the Centre to fulfil its commitment to restore Jammu and Kashmir's statehood, a promise it says was made in Parliament and before the Supreme Court. Statehood has remained a key demand of the party since the erstwhile state was reorganised into the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. (ANI)

Set against the majestic Zabarwan mountain range and overlooking the serene Dal Lake, the Royal Springs Golf Course has left players spellbound with its immaculate fairways, challenging layout and picturesque surroundings.

Kashmir dietitians liver transplant journey sparks organ donation awareness
Srinagar, Aug 04: Four years ago, Nighat Nasreen from Srinagar lay in a hospital bed with little hope of survival. Today, the SKIMS Soura dietitian stood on a national stage in New Delhi, honoured by the Government of India for becoming one of the country's most inspiring ambassadors of deceased organ donation. She was among the five recipients across the country felicitated at the 16th Indian Organ Donation Day celebrations attended by Union Minister of State for Health & Family Welfare, Anupriya Patel,inpresence of Union Health Secretary Punya Salila Srivastava, Director General of Health Services Dr Loveneesh G. Krishna, Director, NOTTO, Dr. Anil Kumar, representatives from States, UTs, donor families, transplant recipients, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders. Nighat was honoured for her remarkable journey from acute liver failure to a second chance at life through a cadaver liver transplant. For Nighat, the award represents much more than personal recognition. It is a tribute to the anonymous donor whose final act of generosity gave her another life. I was healthy until June 2022 when everything changed within days, she recalls. What initially appeared to be an ordinary illness soon turned into a medical emergency. After first being admitted to SKIMS and later consulting another hospital where routine investigations remained normal, advanced tests revealed dangerously high liver enzyme levels. She was eventually diagnosed with acute liver failure, a condition in which the liver suddenly stops functioning. Her condition deteriorated rapidly. Doctors referred hertoInstitute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS), New Delhi, where specialists informed her family that only an emergency liver transplant could save her life. The doctors told my family there was no time to lose. A transplant was my only hope, she remembers. Her case was placed on super-emergency status through the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO). As her condition worsened and she remained on ventilator support, a compatible deceased donor liver became available just in time. The transplant was successfully performed by a team led by renowned liver transplant surgeon Dr Viniyendra Pamecha under the guidance of ILBS Director Dr Shiv Kumar Sarin. The donor was a woman who had suffered fatal injuries in a road accident. Even in death, her family's decision to donate her organs transformed another family's future. I owe my second life to a person I never met. Every day I live is because someone chose humanity over grief, Nighat says. Her recovery took months of medication, frequent medical reviews and lifestyle changes. Throughout the journey, she credits her family, friends, healthcare workers and doctors for standing beside her. Today, Nighat has returned to her profession as a dietitian at SKIMS Srinagar, where she now uses her experience to counsel patients and spread awareness about organ donation. Her inspiring journey also earned recognition from the State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (SOTTO) Jammu and Kashmir, which nominated her for the national honour. She was subsequently selected by NOTTO India for felicitation during the national observance. Speaking after receiving the award, Nighat expressed gratitude to the transplant team at ILBS, the blood and plasma donors, NOTTO India and SOTTO J&K for facilitating the emergency transplant, and above all, the anonymous donor and her family. My life is proof that organ donation does not end one lifeit saves many. I hope more families come forward to support this noble cause. Her story has become a powerful reminder that behind every successful transplant is a family that chose hope in the midst of unimaginable loss. From fighting for survival in an intensive care unit to receiving national recognition before the country's top health officials, Nighat Nasreen's journey stands as one of courage, resilience and the life-saving power of organ donation.
