Baramulla development projects held up due to quarrying restrictions: MLA Javed Beig
Baramulla, Aur 12: Baramulla MLA Javed Hassan Beig on Wednesday said that several development projects approved for the district are yet to take off due to restrictions on quarrying operations and the lifting of mining material. Beig said the curbs on the extraction and transportation of mining material have created significant difficulties for ongoing development works. He said contractors are facing acute shortages of construction material, resulting in a sharp increase in prices. According to the MLA, contractors have also expressed reluctance to participate in the tendering process citing the rising cost and limited availability of construction material. Despite scores of development projects being approved, the restrictions on quarrying and lifting of mining material are delaying their execution, he said. Beig urged the authorities to address the issue and ensure adequate availability of construction material so that approved projects can be taken up without further delays.
Baramulla MLA stresses need to revisit Wildlife Policy, flags issue before Estimates Committee
The MLA Baramulla, Javed Hassan Beig, has asked the Estimates Committee of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly to recommend a comprehensive review of the existing wildlife policy, particularly in view of the growing instances of wild animals straying into human settlements and posing a threat to public safety. The issue came up during discussions on forest, environment, wildlife and tribal affairs on Tuesday, with the MLA stressing the need for a comprehensive approach to deal with increasing human-wildlife conflict in Jammu and Kashmir. He said while wildlife conservation remains important, there is equally an urgent need to put in place effective mechanisms to prevent wild animals from entering residential areas and creating fear among people. While highlighting the importance of revisiting the wildlife policy, Beig said that the government should revisit the existing wildlife policy and formulate measures to strike a balance between wildlife protection and the safety of people living in populated areas where animals are now frequently venturing. The issue assumes particular significance in Baramulla, where the repeated movement of leopards in the town has triggered widespread fear among residents. For nearly 20 days, two leopards have been roaming in areas including Microwave Kanlibagh, Upper Sangri, Bowli Kanlibagh and adjoining densely populated areas. The leopard's presence has caused considerable panic, with residents, particularly children and elderly people, reluctant to venture out during the morning and evening hours. Residents said the repeated sightings have disrupted normal life in the affected areas, with many people avoiding outdoor activities and exercising extra caution while travelling through the neighbourhood. The Wildlife Department has been making efforts to locate and capture the animal. However, officials have so far been unable to trap it, with manpower constraints adding to the difficulties faced by the department. The situation has also highlighted the challenges confronting the wildlife authorities, who are required to respond to increasing human-animal encounters while simultaneously managing limited manpower and resources. The MLA Baramulla also raised concerns over the wild boars that according to him have been introduced into the area and are causing immense loss to paddy fields and orchards, and called for appropriate measures to address the ecological and public-safety concerns associated with them.
Altaf Bukhari urges authorities to give Kashmir youth space to move forward
Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Tuesday urged authorities not to harass or intimidate young people in Kashmir ahead of Independence Day celebrations, saying even those who may have been involved in past activities should be allowed to move on and lead peaceful and dignified lives. Even those who may have been involved in activities in the past have suffered enough over the years and should be allowed to move forward and lead a peaceful and dignified life, Bukhari said while responding to reporters after a party workers convention at Wailoo Tangmarg. He said Kashmirs youth had endured immense hardships and suffering over the years and deserved to live with dignity. Asked about apprehensions of security threats to certain sections of people, Bukhari said the possibility of attempts to disrupt peace could not be ruled out and called for vigilance. Our enemy will certainly try to disrupt the prevailing peace and calm, but with our vigilance and collective resolve, we have to foil any such attempt, he said. Bukhari also used the occasion to respond to a recent political controversy involving Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and the events surrounding the fall of the Farooq Abdullah government in 1984. Asked about Omars remarks regarding his alleged role in the political developments, Bukhari said Omar was only a child at the time and appeared to have been told a particular version of the events. Because maybe at that time, he was not even more than a child. He was 12 or 13 years old. Maybe someone told him, as they say, sleep, child, Gabbar Singh will come. Someone told him the same story, Bukhari said. He declined to engage Omar through the media over the issue. I will never solve this issue with Mr Omar. I will not talk to him through the press. I will not talk to the press about this, he said. Bukhari, however, did not directly address the substance of the allegation in his latest remarks and instead questioned Omars ability to have personally understood events that occurred when he was a child. On restoration of statehood, Bukhari said the Apni Party would continue to pursue the strategy it adopted in 2020dialogue with New Delhi. At that time too, we chose dialogue with New Delhi to ensure that the people of J&K continued to retain their exclusive rights over land and jobs, he said. He claimed the party had succeeded in convincing the Centre in 2020, months after the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, to introduce a domicile framework requiring residency in Jammu and Kashmir. Bukhari said the Apni Party would seek to increase the existing 15-year residency requirement for domicile status to 50 years and pursue a constitutional guarantee for such protection. On the pending Panchayat and Urban Local Bodies elections, Bukhari accused the National Conference government of delaying the polls. It appears that as long as the NC remains in power, Panchayat and ULB elections will not be held, he said, alleging that the ruling party did not want people to exercise their democratic right to elect representatives at the grassroots. He also attacked the NC government over what he described as failures to deliver on promises made during the 2024 Assembly elections. Bukhari cited promises relating to one lakh jobs, free electricity and gas cylinders for domestic consumers, additional ration, regularisation of daily wagers and enhancement of old-age pensions, alleging that the government had failed to fulfil them despite receiving a strong mandate. The Apni Party chief also criticised traditional political parties for what he called a politics of allegations and counter-allegations, saying such exchanges were being used to divert public attention from issues affecting ordinary people. The youth remained a central theme of the convention, with Bukhari urging people to support a political approach that would allow young people to move beyond the violence and restrictions of the past. Addressing the convention, Apni Party senior vice president Ghulam Hassan Mir also sought a change in political discourse, saying the party did not want to lead young people towards graveyards or jails but towards peace, prosperity and development. Mir also criticised the Peoples Democratic Party, saying that although he and his colleagues had helped establish the PDP as a political alternative to the NC, it eventually became a family-run party. He said the Apni Party was being built as an alternative to dynastic politics and claimed it would provide opportunities to people on the basis of talent and ability. Mir also urged the Centre to initiate dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, warning that the government should not test their patience. Talk to them, listen to them, understand their concerns, issues and apprehensions, and address them, he said, describing dialogue as necessary to bridge the trust deficit and restore public confidence. The convention was organised by Apni Partys Wailoo block president Mohammad Akbar. Social and political figure Bashir Ahmad Dar of Pariswani, Kunzer, also joined the party during the event.
APL 2026: Saurav's 50*, Shubhams Four-fer Lift Barpeta Braves To Fourth Place
Saurav Mousum Dihingia: Barpeta Braves chased down 125 in a canter to prevail against Jorhat Stallions by eight wickets in match number 22 of the Assam Premier League (APL) 2026 at the ACA Stadium, Guwahati, on Tuesday. The win lifts Barpeta Braves to fourth place on the points table. Saurav Mousum Dihingia's unbeaten knock anchored the chase from the outset, with useful support from Pranjal Paul as Braves cruised home. Earlier, Shubham Kumar Gupta was the standout performer with the ball, picking up four wickets to restrict Stallions to a below-par total despite a dogged half-century from skipper Swarupam Purkayastha. Opting to field, Braves struck early as they removed Erik Roy on the fifth ball of the match. Rajveer Singh and Dyutimoy Nath also fell in the powerplay as Stallions slipped to 32/3 inside five overs. Swarupam Purkayastha then anchored the innings, top-scoring with 50 off 46 balls alongside Manoj Kumar Barman, who added 35 off 34. Shubham Kumar Sharma then struck with a double blow off consecutive deliveries, leaving Stallions in trouble at 85/5 in the fifteenth over. A late flourish from Nihar Narah, who scored an unbeaten 25 off 19 balls, helped Stallions post 124/6 in their 20 overs. Shubham Kumar Gupta finished with impressive figures of 4/28, rising to the top of the Purple Cap standings, while Rajesh Prasad picked up a wicket. In the run chase, Braves lost Kabir Hassan Desmukh early, but Saurav and Pranjal delivered a masterclass in strike rotation as they steadied the innings with a 103-run stand for the second wicket. The latter contributed a fine 40 off 38 balls before falling to Dyutimoy Nath, but the result was already beyond doubt by then. Dihingia continued unabated, remaining unbeaten on 64 off 48 balls with three fours and four sixes, and found company in skipper Denish Das to add the finishing touches as Braves amassed the target in 16.3 overs to complete a comfortable eight-wicket win. Brief scores: Jorhat Stallions 124/6 in 20 overs (Swarupam Purkayastha 50, Manoj Kumar Barman 35, Nihar Narah 25*; Shubham Kumar Gupta 4/28, Rajesh Prasad 1/20).

Assembly panel seeks Russian Poplar phase-out
Srinagar, Aug 11: The J&K Legislative Assemblys Estimates Committee on Tuesday called for a time-bound phase-out of Russian Poplar in the Union Territory, citing concerns over its impact on local biodiversity and public health, and stressed the need for large-scale plantation of indigenous species. The committee, headed by Chairman Nazir Ahmad Khan (Gurezi), met to examine the Action Taken Report submitted by the Forest, Ecology & Environment Department on issues related to forest conservation, community rights and infrastructure in J&K. During the meeting, Gurezi said forests were not just trees but the lungs of J&K, besides being a source of livelihood for people and a legacy for future generations. We cannot afford to treat this as routine file work, he said, stressing the need for urgent action to protect and restore forest areas. The chairman directed the department to expedite replantation on land diverted for National Highways, PMGSY, PWD and NHAI projects. He also called for a massive plantation drive in deforested areas across J&K. Taking serious note of tree felling and its role in soil erosion and landslides during rains, the committee directed the department to undertake scientific afforestation on vulnerable slopes to safeguard lives and property. On Russian Poplar, Gurezi expressed concern over what he described as its impact on local biodiversity and health. He directed the department to phase out the species in a time-bound manner and replace it with indigenous varieties such as Chinar, Deodar and Kail. The chairman also stressed the importance of protecting community rights and ensuring that local people benefit from forest resources. J&Ks timber and forest wealth belongs to the people of J&K, he said, directing the department to ensure sustainable use of forest resources and curb illegal smuggling of poplar, deodar and pine. He further called for ensuring that benefits reach local communities and tribal families under the Forest Rights Act, 2006. The committee also reviewed the condition of deteriorating trees in major tourist destinations, including Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg and Yusmarg, and directed the department to undertake immediate replantation. It also called for stronger measures to check poaching and man-animal conflict in the Union Territory. Emphasising public participation in forest conservation, the chairman directed that Gram Sabhas be held in all constituencies across J&K. He asked the Commissioner Secretary, Forest, Ecology & Environment, to finalise comprehensive guidelines for conducting Gram Sabhas at the Panchayat level to ensure direct public involvement in forest conservation, protection and sustainable use of resources. The meeting was attended by members of the Estimates Committee, including Balwant Singh Mankotia, Ali Mohammad Dar, Javid Hassan Baig, Mushtaq Guroo, Irshad Rasool Kar, Sajad Shaheen and Pyare Lal Sharma.

Engaging with youth pivotal for J&Ks growth: Ghulam Hassan Mir
Former Cabinet Minister and Apni Party Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir on Monday said that the Apni Party is keen to engage with the younger generation, as young people are key stakeholders and the future of society. He said that the youth must be taken on board and actively involved in the process of shaping a better and brighter future for themselves. Mir made these remarks today while addressing a party event at its headquarters in Srinagar. The event was organised to welcome a large number of young people from Srinagars Bemina area. Among the prominent entrants were Mohsin Saqib Wani, Akeed Mushtaq, Danish Mushtaq, Umeed Bazaz, Junaid Muzaffar Bhat, and others. They joined the party along with their respective teams. Addressing the occasion, Ghulam Hassan Mir said, Apni Partys policies and agenda are primarily aimed at striving for a better future for our youth. Our vision is to build a future that offers greater prospects, prosperity, and better livelihood opportunities. However, to achieve this, we must create an environment that enables our youth to realise their potential, pursue their aspirations, and build a secure and prosperous future. We need to create the right conditions for our youth to grow, prosper, and contribute meaningfully to the development of Jammu and Kashmir. He further said, When the Apni Party said that our politics is rooted in truthfulness, our opponents made fun of it. But when we speak of the politics of truthfulness, we mean that we do not want to mislead our younger generation with emotional slogans and unattainable goals. The fact is that the older generation bears much of the responsibility for the miseries our youth are facing today. Traditional political parties failed to create a conducive environment for our young people. Instead, they led them down a path where the choices before them were often either imprisonment or death, Mir added. Ghulam Hassan Mir said that Apni Partys politics is about breaking away from that cycle. We believe our youth deserve a future built on opportunity, dignity, peace, and realistic aspirationsnot empty slogans and promises that can never be fulfilled. He further said that there was a time when our youth were pushed towards violence and a culture of guns. Many years have passed since then, but those who were young at the time are still suffering the consequences. Some remain in jails, while others continue to face difficulties because they are repeatedly summoned to police stations. Taking a dig at the government, Mir said, Unfortunately, our elected government has failed to deliver effective governance. The ruling party sought votes from the people by promising to address their pressing issues and grievances. However, after receiving a massive mandate from the people, they now claim that they do not have the power to address public concerns. The fact is that they lack the will, rather than the ability, to address the issues confronting the people. The people gave them a clear mandate and placed their trust in them, but instead of taking responsibility and working to resolve their problems, they have chosen to make excuses and shift the blame, Mir added. Why is it that this government does not even talk about detainees or do anything to stop the harassment of our youth? Why doesnt it take concrete steps to ensure that young people are able to obtain passports without unnecessary difficulty? And why is it not doing anything substantial to create meaningful job opportunities for our youth? Mir asked. When an elected government fails to care for the future of its youth and does not provide them with the necessary facilities, opportunities, and avenues for growth, it loses its moral right to continue in office. He added. Ghulam Hassan Mir reiterated his demand for the Government of India to engage with the youth of Jammu and Kashmir through a meaningful dialogue aimed at understanding their issues and concerns and addressing them effectively. He said that such a dialogue between the Central Government and the youth of J&K is imperative to rebuild trust and bridge the prevailing trust deficit. Speaking on the occasion, parties Chief Coordinator & District President Kulgam Abdul Majeed Paddar, assured the new entrants that Apni Party would provide them with ample opportunities to contribute towards building a better future and serving the people. He appealed to the younger generation to support Apni Party so that, together, we can strive for a brighter, more prosperous, and secure future for the youth and generations to come. Besides Mir and Paddar, the prominent party leaders who were present on this occasion included State Vice President Mohammad Syed Akhoon, Provincial President Kashmir Mohammad Ashraf Mir, and others.
Jal Jeevan Mission has become a dead body: Baramulla MLA tears into Jal Shakti Department
Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Baramulla Javid Hassan Baig Monday launched a sharp attack on the functioning of the Jal Shakti Department, questioning the implementation of the Jal Jeevan Mission in J&K saying the government must find a way to give the dead body a new life. During a joint review meeting called by MLA Baramulla and MLA Uri Dr Sajad Shafi, Javid Hassan Baig urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ascertain what had happened to the scheme in Jammu and Kashmir over the past six years. Has the slogan of Har Ghar Jal reached every house hold,? Baig asked. MLA Baramulla urged the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to intervene and find a solution to the problems plaguing the implementation of the scheme. If the Prime Minister Narendra Modi comes to know what has happened to JJM in J&K over the last six years, heads will roll here, MLA Baramulla said. Taking a dig at the much-publicised Har Ghar Jal objective, he said the slogan was yet to translate into access to drinking water for every household. He said merely holding meetings and constituting committees would not resolve the issue. We have to find a way to save its life, he said He urged the administration to revive the scheme and ensure that its benefits reach people on the ground. MLA Baramulla also questioned the preparedness of officials attending review meetings, alleging that several officers were unable to provide basic information about ongoing works and projects in their respective areas. What is the fun of holding such a meeting when you dont know anything? he asked the officials. He directed the officials to come prepared for the next review meeting. The MLA said he could identify the status of development works in villages across his constituency and challenged officials to provide details of projects of their respective departments under their jurisdiction. MLA Baramulla Javid Hassan Baig expressed strong displeasure over what he termed as lack of preparedness and said officers should not attend review meetings without having complete information about the works being executed in their areas. He also raised questions over the functioning of the department, promotions and accountability of officials. Incompetent officers are being rewarded while basic issues remained unresolved, he said. The MLA further questioned delays in water-related works, including tenders and execution of projects, and sought greater accountability from officials and contractors. The administration must ensure that contractors entrusted with water supply works actually deliver on the projects for which tenders have been issued, he said.

During his distinguished career, he introduced the concepts of soil and water conservation and integrated watershed management in the Forest Department and played a key role in establishing several watershed management projects in the region with the assistance of the World Bank. Kango has also contributed significantly to the stabilisation of degraded and denuded areas and addressed soil and water conservation challenges in the Kandi areas of Kashmir Valley and several parts of the Jammu region. Under his guidance, the Department of Soil Conservation was established in 1978, and Kango was appointed its first Director. He served in the department for eight years, from 1978 to 1986, before later serving as Principal Chief Conservator of Forests and retiring from active service in 1993. Ghulam Hassan Kango was a scholar with a deep interest in forestry, ecology, nomadic studies and pasture development. Besides his distinguished career in the Forest Department, he authored several articles on nomadic communities and their traditional routes, with his work appearing in national and international publications, and participated in several conferences on forestry and environmental issues. He remained actively engaged with conservation and environmental awareness even after retirement, sharing his experience and knowledge with researchers, students and civil society groups.

BJP suspends 9 functionaries over derogatory slogans during Anantnag rally
Amid outrage over defamatory slogans by BJP leaders and workers, the party has suspended the primary membership of nine of its functionaries in Anantnag and removed them from all organisational posts. However, no action has been taken against former MLC and senior BJP leader Sofi Yousuf. Sofi was leading the Tiranga rally in south Kashmir on August 5, in which the BJP leaders and workers used derogatory slogans targeting Kashmiri women. In an office order issued by BJP Anantnag district president Rakesh Koul, the party said the rally was organised at Housing Colony Khanabal without the requisite permission from the district administration or authorisation from the BJP district unit. The party also took serious note of the slogans raised during the procession, describing them as contrary to its values, organisational discipline and principles. Following consultations with senior party functionaries, including BJP General Secretary (Organisation) Ashok Koul, State General Secretary (Organisation) Lal Mutha, State spokesperson and district in-charge Altaf Thakur and district president Rakesh Koul, the party ordered disciplinary proceedings against those found responsible. The nine functionaries facing action are Nisar Ahmad Bhat of Wangam, Shangus; Khursheed Ahmad Sofi of Hassanpora, Bijbehara; Aabida Rafiq of Achabal; Irshad Ahmad Malik of Gopalpora, Mattan; Mohammad Maqbool Ganie of Achabal; Waheed Ahmad Itoo of Hassannoor, Ashmuqam; Nisar Ahmad Hakeem of Dehwatoo, Pahalgam; Feroz Ahmad Hajam of Kherchi, Larnoo; and Sabroza Akhtar of Tajiwara, Anantnag. The order said their removal from party posts and suspension of primary membership would remain effective immediately, pending completion of the inquiry. The BJP also clarified that Alveer Ahmad Dar of Batengoo, Anantnag, and Fancy Akhter of Hangulund, Kokernag, were not associated with the BJP District Unit Anantnag in any capacity and did not hold any organisational position in the party. The controversy erupted after a video of the procession circulated widely, with participants allegedly raising slogans referring to popular Kashmiri names Aazi and Fazi. The slogans were criticised for allegedly mocking the dignity and honour of Kashmiri women, triggering public outrage and political condemnation. On August 6, BJP spokesperson Altaf Thakur said the remarks made by some individuals could not be attributed to the party as an organisation and asserted that the BJP did not endorse defamatory or derogatory comments against anyone. The party has always upheld the dignity and honour of women, Thakur said, pointing to the BJPs support for womens political participation and the 33 per cent reservation for women as evidence of its commitment to womens empowerment. He said the partys policies and public conduct were guided by respect, democracy and constitutional values, adding that action would be taken against those responsible for the controversial slogans. The BJPs subsequent disciplinary order has now formally followed up on that assurance, with the party initiating action against its own functionaries and ordering an inquiry into their alleged role in the rally. The controversy also drew sharp criticism from the ruling National Conference, which rejected the BJPs clarification as inadequate. NC leader and legislator Tanvir Sadiq said the slogans were not merely directed at individuals but amounted to an insult to Kashmiri society and its cultural identity. Aazi and Fazi are not just names; they are our mothers, our sisters, our identity, Sadiq said, demanding a public apology from BJP leader and Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma. The episode has added a political controversy to the already charged atmosphere surrounding August 5, which marked the seventh anniversary of the Centres 2019 decision to abrogate Article 370 and reorganise the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories. While the BJP observed the anniversary as a celebration of what it calls the full integration of Jammu and Kashmir with the Union, opposition parties continued to oppose the 2019 decisions and raise demands including restoration of statehood.
High-density apple orchards transform Ganderbal's horticulture landscape
Ganderbal, Aug 7:Across the sprawling plains and gentle slopes of Ganderbal district, a quiet horticulture revolution is reshaping the landscape. The traditional agricultural landscape of the Ganderbal district is witnessing a shift towards modern horticulture, with an increasing number of farmers adopting high-density apple cultivation to improve their livelihoods. For generations, apple farming here meant sprawling traditional trees requiring seven to eight years to bear fruit, massive canopy maintenance, and labor-intensive harvesting. Today, neatly aligned, trellised rows of dwarf apple trees are taking over, promising higher yields, quicker returns, and a modernised future for local horticulture. Locals said that in certain Ganderbal areas, orchards are now home to advanced high-density apple varieties, reflecting a gradual transition from conventional farming to commercial fruit cultivation. The change has been supported by government initiatives and technical assistance from the Department of Horticulture. For generations, local growers relied on traditional apple varieties such as Delicious, Kulu Delicious, and Maharaji, which typically require 5-7 years to bear commercial fruit. In contrast, high-density dwarf and semi-dwarf rootstocks begin bearing fruit in their second year and reach full yield capacity by the fourth or fifth year, Adil Ahmad, a fruit grower said. Growers say beyond sheer volume, the modern farming technique delivers superior quality fruit. Uniform exposure to sunlight, controlled drip fertigation, and anti-hail nets result in high-grade apples characterised by consistent colour, crisp texture, and larger size. Varieties like Gala Red, Red Velox, and King Roat are fetching premium prices in major fruit markets across different parts of the country. With traditional trees, pesticide sprays, and pruning required intensive manual labour, and half the crop was prone to damage during unpredictable weather, said Ghulam Hassan, a grower in Wakura, Ganderbal. The high-density trees are manageable from the ground, use significantly less water, and yield Grade-A fruit that sells almost immediately. The Jammu and Kashmir Horticulture Department, alongside initiatives like the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH), has played a vital role in accelerating adoption. Horticulture Department officials note that Ganderbal'sfavourable soil conditions and well-connected river network make it ideally suited for high-density farming. As cold-storage facilities and sorting-grading units will expand across the district, Ganderbal is positioning itself as a central hub for high-yield, modern fruit production in Kashmir.
Altaf Bukhari unveils Apni Party's 'new vision' for J&K
Srinagar, Aug 7: Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday said the party was coming forward with a ew vision and strategy to restore Jammu and Kashmir's dignity and secure a better future for its youth, while launching a sharp attack on the National Conference (NC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over their political record. Addressing a workers' convention in Hajin, Sonawari, in Bandipora district, Bukhari said the people of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the youth, continue to face insecurity, unemployment and a lack of opportunities. I wonder how long our people will have to suffer. Our youth deserve a life of dignity, security and hope for the future, he said. Bukhari accused the NC of repeatedly changing its political positions over the decades and alleged that such shifts had come at the cost of the people. He also criticised the PDP, alleging that family-based parties had pursued slogans for political gains while failing to address public concerns. Presenting the Apni Party's political roadmap, Bukhari said the party was committed to restoring Jammu and Kashmir's lost dignity, status and respect and ensuring a more prosperous future for the youth. Referring to the developments of August 5, 2019, he described the day as a lack day for the people of Jammu and Kashmir but maintained that solutions to the region's issues would come through engagement with New Delhi. He said the party would continue to urge the Centre to initiate a meaningful dialogue with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the youth, to understand and address their concerns. Bukhari also highlighted civic issues in Hajin and adjoining areas, calling for improvements in drinking water supply, electricity and healthcare infrastructure. He said the Apni Party, if voted to power, would seek to increase the domicile eligibility requirement from 15 years to 50 years and restore the rights of local communities engaged in traditional riverbed mineral extraction. Speaking on the occasion, Apni Party Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir criticised the government over rising unemployment, alleging that it had failed to fulfil its election promises or create meaningful job opportunities for youth. He also accused the government of delaying Urban Local Body and Panchayat elections, saying the move had deprived people of grassroots democratic representation. Provincial President Mohammad Ashraf Mir also addressed the convention, alleging that successive governments had failed to fulfil their responsibilities towards the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Srinagar, Aug 7 : The BJP District Unit Anantnag has suspended nine office bearers and removed them from all party posts with immediate effect for allegedly organizing and participating in an unauthorized Tiranga rally in the district. In an office order issued, District President Rakesh Koul said the rally was held at Housing Colony Khanabal on August 5 without the permission of the District Unit or the District Administration.
