On Harmukh, a Kashmiri mountaineer seeks summits few have attempted
Srinagar, Jul 27:For seven days, Wasim Hassan Rather climbed across the ridgelines of Harmukh, one of Kashmir's most mountainous massifs, moving from one unnamed or little-documented summit to another. When he descended, he believed he had become the first person to complete a traverse of four subsidiary peaks in a single expedition. There was no official ceremony waiting at the base, no international expedition sponsor, and no satellite broadcast marking the achievement. Instead, the significance of the climb spread quietly through Kashmir's close-knit mountaineering community, where veteran climbers began comparing routes, maps and memories to determine whether anyone had done it before. For Hassan, a ski guide from north Kashmir who has spent more than a decade working in the mountains, the expedition represents something larger than a personal milestone. People see Kashmir for its meadows and lakes, he said. Very few know what lies higher up. For decades, Kashmir's mountains attracted European explorers and surveyors. Later, years of conflict shifted attention away from adventure sports. Today, a new generation of local climbers is returning to peaks that have received little modern attention, often funding expeditions from their own savings. Hassan's journey into mountaineering began with weekend hikes before formal training in alpine techniques. Since then, he has completed more than 20 expeditions, including several climbs above 6,000 meters. The expedition also revealed how little is settled about some of Kashmir's mountains. One summit long described as standing at 5,142 meters now appears in newer mapping at roughly 5,120 meters, reflecting updated surveying rather than a shrinking mountain. Adventure tourism has become an increasingly important part of Kashmir's economy, but mountaineers say technical climbing remains overshadowed by trekking and skiing. There is enormous potential here, Hassan said. But people need training before they think about climbing these mountains. Whether his Harmukh traverse is ultimately recognised as a first ascent will depend on documentation and scrutiny by the climbing community. Even so, mountaineers say the expedition signals something more enduring, that Kashmir's highest mountains, long overshadowed by politics and tourism, are once again becoming places of exploration.

G H Mir Backs statehood demand, calls Jantar Mantar protest 'Ill-Timed'
Srinagar, July 19: Apni Party Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir on Monday said his party fully supports the demand for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood and backs every democratic initiative aimed at achieving it, but termed the recent protest march at Jantar Mantar ill-timed. In a post on X, Mir said the protest was a step to register the demand for the restoration of statehood. He said the Apni Party was keen to see statehood restored and supported every move in that direction. However, he said the timing of the protest was not appropriate, as another major issue was already unfolding at Jantar Mantar, which overshadowed the statehood demand. The protest march at Jantar Mantar for granting statehood was a step to register the demand. Apni Party is keen to get the statehood and supports every move. The move proved ill-timed. Knowing at Jantar Mantar there was already a big issue in which the statehood demand got eclipsed, Mir said in his post.

Bukhari seeks Health, Education reforms in remote areas
Srinagar, July 17: Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday called for comprehensive reforms in the health and education sectors, saying people living in remote areas of Jammu and Kashmir continue to suffer due to inadequate infrastructure and shortage of qualified professionals. Addressing a workers' meeting at Surankote in Poonch during his outreach tour of the Pir Panjal region, Bukhari said doctors and teachers appointed in government service should be required to serve in remote areas for a fixed period to ensure quality healthcare and education reach underserved communities. There is an urgent need to reform the health and education sectors. Qualified doctors and teachers must serve in remote areas instead of leaving immediately after securing government jobs, he said, adding that long-term planning is needed to strengthen essential services in far-flung regions. Bukhari said feedback received during his tour highlighted the lack of basic infrastructure and public services in the Pir Panjal region. He also expressed concern over the non-construction of community and individual safety bunkers in border areas despite assurances by the Centre. The people living along the border remain vulnerable to cross-border shelling. The promised bunkers should be constructed without further delay, he said. Reiterating his party's stand, Bukhari said Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India but stressed that the constitutional rights of its people must be restored through constructive engagement with New Delhi. Referring to the developments of August 5, 2019, he termed them deeply painful and called for meaningful dialogue to bridge the trust deficit between the Centre and the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He also stressed the need to rehabilitate youth who were misled into violence in the past and provide them with opportunities for a dignified future. Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir expressed concern over rising unemployment, saying educated youth were being deprived of opportunities despite being the region's greatest asset. He urged the government to create jobs and ensure young people are guided towards peace, development and prosperity. Provincial President Manjit Singh appealed to people to strengthen the Apni Party, saying it would continue to work for safeguarding the rights and interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Social Evils and Parental Control
DR ASIF HASSAN In recent years, our society has been engaged in loud debates about politics, economy, and geopolitics, yet some of the gravest dangers to our collective future are unfolding quietly within our homes, schools, and streets. Drug addiction, rising crime among youth, online obscenity, gambling, domestic violence, and a disturbing erosion of basic manners are no longer distant phenomena that we read about in reports; they are realities that many families confront every single day. While it is convenient to blame the government, the education system, or technology, we often refuse to look at the foundational institution that shapes every human being: the family. At the heart of the family stands parental control not as an authoritarian whip, but as a responsible, valuebased guidance that can either protect children from social evils or inadvertently push them towards them through neglect, overcontrol, or misplaced priorities. In Kashmiri society, the family traditionally played the role of a fortress. Children grew up under the watchful eyes of parents, grandparents, and the wider mohalla. Values were not delivered through lectures alone but were lived in daily practices how elders spoke to one another, how guests were treated, how neighbours were cared for in times of illness or grief. Today, this social fabric is fraying. Economic pressures, migration, and the explosion of digital media have reduced the time and emotional energy that parents devote to their children. In many homes, the television, smartphone, or tablet has quietly replaced the parent as the primary educator and entertainer. The result is a generation that is hyperconnected to the world yet increasingly disconnected from its roots, its responsibilities, and sometimes from its own family. Social evils do not emerge in a vacuum. When a young boy slips into substance abuse, when a teenager is caught in cybercrime, when a child begins to speak with shocking disrespect, these are not isolated incidents. They are symptoms of a deeper moral and emotional deficit that begins early. Parental control, when understood as firm yet loving involvement in a childs life, is the first line of defence against such outcomes. Control here does not mean policing every breath a child takes, but being present enough to know where the child is, who their friends are, what they are watching, and what they are silently struggling with. It means providing a sense of direction and boundaries, without suffocating their individuality. Unfortunately, many parents swing to extremes. On one side is total negligence disguised as modernity: Let the child decide, We do not want to be strict, Everyone is doing it, why should we be different? On the other side is suffocating authoritarianism: You will not question, You will obey without explanation, Honour the family name at all costs. Both extremes are harmful. Negligence leaves the child at the mercy of peers, trends, and algorithms that are indifferent to their wellbeing. Harsh control breeds rebellion, secrecy, and in the worst cases, double lives in which children present obedience at home while indulging in risky behaviour outside. Balanced parental control requires time, patience, and selfdiscipline from adults. It demands that parents become role models rather than just rulegivers. A father who lectures his son about avoiding drugs but returns home drunk, a mother who warns her daughter about social media yet spends hours gossiping and spreading rumours online, cannot hope to inspire respect or obedience. Children are far more influenced by what they see than by what they are told. If we desire a generation that is honest, compassionate, and morally grounded, we must embody those qualities ourselves. The digital world has added a complex layer to the challenge. Social evils have moved from the street corner to the palm of the hand. A child can be exposed to pornography, hate speech, violent content, and fraudulent schemes long before they set foot in a marketplace. The old style of parental control relying on physical proximity and community surveillance is no longer sufficient. Parents must now educate themselves about the online spaces their children inhabit. It is not enough to buy a smartphone because everyone has one and then turn a blind eye. Setting screentime limits, using parental controls, keeping devices out of bedrooms at night, and most importantly, having open conversations about what children see online, are no longer optional they are essential. At the same time, schools and religious institutions cannot wash their hands of responsibility. Teachers often observe early signs of behavioural changes: falling grades, sudden aggression, withdrawal, or inappropriate language. Instead of treating these as mere disciplinary issues, schools must work with parents to understand what lies beneath. Sermons in mosques and religious gatherings, too, should move beyond abstract moralising and address the concrete realities of drugs, domestic violence, and digital addiction that families are facing. Yet, in all of this, parents remain central; no institution can compensate for an absent or indifferent home. There is also a need to recognise the immense stress under which many parents live today. Economic insecurity, unemployment, political instability, and social pressures weigh heavily on adults, often leaving them emotionally drained. In such an environment, childrens questions can feel like an added burden rather than an opportunity for guidance. This is precisely why communitybased counselling, parenting workshops, and support networks are vital. Parenting is a skill that must be learned and refined, not an instinct we are automatically born with. Admitting that we need help does not diminish our authority; it strengthens our ability to guide. Ultimately, addressing social evils is not merely about punishing offenders or banning substances. It is about building strong humans, and that construction begins at home. When a child grows up feeling heard, respected, and guided with firmness and love, their chances of falling prey to destructive temptations diminish significantly. When, instead, the home becomes a place of shouting, comparison, or cold silence, the child will seek comfort and belonging elsewhere often in spaces where social evils flourish. The question before us, therefore, is not whether we want to control our children, but how we choose to do so. Will parental control be a rigid cage that breaks their spirit, or a protective boundary that allows them to grow safely and confidently? Will we continue to outsource our responsibilities to screens, schools, and sermons, or will we reclaim our rightful place as the first teachers and moral anchors of our children? If we truly wish to see a society free of drugs, violence, and moral decay, we must start not with slogans, but with sincere introspection within our homes. The transformation of society begins in the living room, at the dinner table, in the quiet conversations before sleep. Social evils thrive in the absence of meaningful parental presence. Restoring that presence wise, compassionate, and firm may be our most powerful weapon in reclaiming the future. (The Author is an educationist, public speaker, and columnist)
NC protest meant to strengthen Govt, not people: Bukhari
Srinagar, July 16: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Thursday termed the National Conference's proposed sit-in protest at Jantar Mantar over the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood as a political drama, asserting that statehood can only be achieved through dialogue with the Centre and not through confrontation. Addressing a workers' meeting at Dak Bungalow in Poonch, Bukhari said the NC failed to raise the issue of statehood when it came to power in 2024 despite securing a strong public mandate. If the NC was serious about restoring statehood, it should have pursued the issue immediately after forming the government. It is raising the demand now only to strengthen its own political position, he said. Reiterating the Apni Party's stand, Bukhari described restoration of statehood as a matter of honour and dignity for the people of Jammu and Kashmir but said it must be pursued through sustained engagement with the Central government. Dialogue and political engagement, not protests and confrontation, are the way forward to restore statehood and resolve other issues, he said. During his address, Bukhari also expressed concern over the lack of development in the Pir Panjal region and demanded the creation of a special police battalion by recruiting local youth from border districts. He also sought the construction of a tunnel across the Pir Panjal, connecting Uri and Poonch, to provide all-weather connectivity and boost economic activity. The Apni Party president accused successive traditional political parties of failing to address the people's concerns and criticised the government for delaying Panchayat and Urban Local Body elections, alleging that it was preventing decentralisation of power. Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir also addressed the gathering and called for the restoration of the historic Poonch-Uri and Poonch-Tangmarg road links to improve connectivity and revive the region's historical importance. Provincial President Jammu Manjit Singh highlighted the party's role in securing protections for land and government jobs for the people of Jammu and Kashmir after the 2019 constitutional changes.
J&K Bank holds pensioners' meet in Chanapora
Srinagar, July 10: J&K Bank on Thursday organised a Pensioners' Meet at its Business Unit Chanapora to strengthen its engagement with pensioners, create awareness about banking services for senior citizens and address their concerns. Branch Head Masarat Khan welcomed the participants and thanked them for their continued association with the bank. Pensioners were briefed about the bank's latest products, deposit schemes, loan facilities, doorstep banking services, digital payment options and other customer-centric initiatives. An interactive session was also held during which pensioners shared their suggestions and grievances regarding banking services. The branch assured them that their genuine demands, including requests for additional concessions for senior citizens, would be forwarded to the competent authorities. Speaking on the occasion, Masarat Khan highlighted the bank's special initiatives for senior citizens, including priority branch services, doorstep banking for customers above 70 years of age, simplified submission of life certificates for pension processing and awareness on safe digital banking practices. She advised pensioners not to share OTPs, avoid suspicious links and remain alert to fraudulent calls. She also informed them that cyber fraud incidents can be reported through the national cyber helpline 1930 or the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. The programme was attended by several pensioners, including a delegation from Ahata Waqar comprising Javid Ahmad Baigh, Ghulam Hassan Rather, Mushtaq Shah Mehram, Ghulam Qadir Bath and Qazi Abdul Rashid. They appreciated the bank for organising the awareness programme and requested that a similar camp be held at Ahata Waqar for the benefit of more senior citizens and pensioners. The programme concluded with a vote of thanks, reaffirming the bank's commitment to providing efficient and customer-friendly services to pensioners.
Statehood can be achieved through talks, not confrontation: Bukhari
Srinagar, July 15: Describing the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood as a matter of dignity and honour for its people, Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Wednesday said the demand should be pursued through dialogue with the Centre rather than confrontation. Addressing a workers' meeting at Dak Bungalow in Mendhar, Poonch, Bukhari said statehood was imperative but could only be achieved through constructive engagement with the Government of India. His remarks came in the backdrop of the ruling National Conference's proposed July 20 sit-in protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. Statehood is imperative. In fact, it is a matter of dignity and honour for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. However, this can be achieved only through dialogue with the Government of India, not through confrontation, Bukhari said. He, however, maintained that restoring statehood alone would not address the everyday challenges faced by the people, saying employment generation, poverty alleviation and improved public services required equal attention. Bukhari accused successive governments of failing to provide effective governance, alleging that many areas still lacked basic amenities such as roads, drinking water and electricity. He also criticised the ruling National Conference for what he termed unfulfilled promises made during the 2024 Assembly elections, particularly on employment. The Apni Party chief also blamed the Centre for ignoring the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and reiterated his concern over the developments of August 5, 2019, saying the people were deprived of their identity and statehood. Addressing the meeting, Apni Party senior vice president Ghulam Hassan Mir said the party was formed during a difficult period following the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A, when people were facing uncertainty over land and job rights. Mir claimed the party leadership engaged with the Prime Minister and Union Home Minister to ensure that the exclusive rights of J&K residents over land and government jobs were protected. The meeting was also addressed by the party's Jammu Provincial President Manjit Singh, who urged workers to intensify grassroots outreach and strengthen the party's organisational base.
