Top Shia cleric's assassination shows strong presence of IS in Syria
New Delhi, May 10: Top Shia Cleric and imam of Sayyidha Zayanb Shrine Sheikh Farhan Hassan al-Mansour's assassination in the outskirts of Damascus demonstrates the strong presence of The Islamic State (IS) in the troubled nation. The attack revived memories of the groups past hit-and-run operations targeting carefully selected religious and military figures, demonstrating its ability to breach heavy security fortifications in one of Syrias most sensitive areas. Last Friday morning, a powerful explosion echoed through the southern suburbs of Damascus. The blast targeted al-Mansours vehicle while he was traveling near the Safir Al-Zahra Hotel area surrounding the shrine. Syrian security source, who inspected the scene, said that an explosive device had been planted underneath the vehicle and detonated remotely, killing the cleric instantly and injuring several of his aides, as well as civilians who happened to be nearby. The Sayyidah Zaynab shrine is one of the most important religious sites in Syria. The ability to reach and assassinate the shrines leading cleric in the heart of his own stronghold sends a powerful message that ISIS sleeper cells still possess the capacity to monitor, maneuver and strike deep inside Damascus.
Apni Party raises alarm over human suffering caused by Achan garbage dump
Srinagar, May 9: Apni Party leaders, led by party chief Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari, on Saturday visited residents who have been living in miserable conditions for years due to the garbage dump in the Achan area of Srinagar city. The unbearable stench emanating from the dumping site has further worsened the situation, making life difficult for local residents and people living in nearby areas. Speaking on the occasion, Bukhari, accompanied by senior party leaders, said the issue was humanitarian in nature and required immediate attention. We are not here as politicians or representatives of a political party. This is an issue of grave concern, and we will never attempt to politicise such a serious public matter, which has now become a threat to public health. We are here because we understand that there is a need to find a way out. This is a prolonged problem, Bukhari said while leading a sit-in. Elaborating, he said this garbage dump was established here in 1983, and since then, people have continued to suffer because of it. Today, nearly 700 tonnes of waste from various districts, including Srinagar, Ganderbal and Budgam, is being dumped here every day, he said. He added, There must be a permanent and scientific mechanism to address this issue. We assure the people that we will leave no stone unturned to find a way out of this crisis. From today onwards, we also consider ourselves stakeholders in this struggle. He further assured the residents that he and his colleagues would use their personal influence and would not hesitate to knock on every required door or approach the competent authorities to ensure a way out of this prolonged and grave issue. Taking a dig at the government, Bukhari said that those elected to serve the people had failed the very voters who placed their trust in them. He said, You have elected representatives, but it has now become evident that they are least concerned about your issues. In fact, they misled you to secure your votes during the 2024 Assembly elections. While seeking your support, they promised free gas cylinders, an increase in ration quotas, free electricity, and one lakh government jobs for unemployed youth soon after forming the government. They also claimed that daily wagers would be regularised, and so on. Today, however, it is clear that all these tall claims and promises were nothing more than lies and deception aimed solely at securing votes from the people, he added. On the occasion, the residents expressed gratitude to Altaf Bukhari and other senior party leaders, saying that their visit and assurances had instilled hope among them that this issue would finally receive serious attention. Besides Altaf Bukhari , the prominent party leaders and senior workers who were part of the visiting delegation included partys Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir, Vice President Javaid Mustafa Mir, General Secretary Rafi Ahmad Mir, Provincial President Kashmir Mohammad Ashraf Mir, District President Kupwara Raja Manzoor, District President Srinagar Mohammad Shafi Mir, Provincial Orgainser & Former DDC Vice Chairman Bilal Ahmad Bhat, Provincial Coordinator Kashmir & Constituency In-charge Hazratbal Shabir Ahmad Reshi, Publicity Secretary Muzafar Reshi, Provincial Joint Secretary Kashmir Aamir Ashraf Bhat, Provincial Joint Secretary Tanveer Ahmad Bhat, Senior Vice President & Constituency In-charge Habba Kadal Jeelani Hamid Kumar, Vice President Srinagar & Constituency In-charge Khanyar Moshin Zaffar Shah, Vice President Srinagar & Constituency In-charge Central Shaltang Zaffar Habib, Vice President Srinagar Aijaz Ahmad Rather, Constituency In-charge Zadibal Tehseen Farooq, Youth Vice President District Srinagar Mudasir Ahmad Bhat, Jibran Dar, Mudasir Wali, Abdul Rasheed Wani, Fasal Rashid Wani, Bashir Ahmed Dar, Ghulam Mohammad Bhat , Farooq Ahmad Wani, Nazir Ahmad Rather, Mohammad Shafat Bhat, Abdul Qayoom Sofi, Mohammad Iqbal Shah, Farooq Ahmad Bhat, Fayaz Ahmad Patoo, Tufail Gul Wani, Nazir Ahmad Mir, Irshada Bashir, Abdul Rasheed Rather, Sajid Ahmad Kanth, Ghulam Mohiuddin Bhat, Bilal Ahmad Sheikh, Ghulam Rasool Bhat, Zeeshan Rather, Waseem Raja, Ghulam Mohiuddin, Mohiuddin Kanth, and others.

J&K's youth have to make meaningful beginning through dialogue process: Altaf Bukhari
Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Thursday said that traditional politics in Jammu and Kashmir has always pushed people toward the path of violence, ultimately leading the youth either to jails or graveyards. He urged that this politics of deceit and negativity must come to an end to ensure a better future for the younger generation. He made these remarks during a special event held at the party headquarters in Srinagar, as per a press release. The event was organised to welcome new entrants into the party fold. Mudasir Wali, a prominent political and social activist from Shaheed Gunj, Srinagar, joined the party along with his associates. Apni Party President and other veteran leaders extended a warm welcome to the new members on their joining the party. Speaking on the occasion, Bukhari said, Unlike traditional political parties, Apni Party believes in a politics that will neither push our youth towards jails nor make them fall prey to bullets. Instead, our politics is aimed at ensuring peace, prosperity, and development. Our youth deserve a dignified life and all the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution. He further said, When we say that Apni Party believes in the politics of truthfulness and integrity, we mean that we will neither lie to our people nor make promises that are unachievable. Our youth do not lack talent; they only need proper guidance, a conducive and peaceful environment, and opportunities, he added. Welcoming the new members and urging people to join hands with Apni Party, Bukhari said, This party basically belongs to the people. Unlike traditional political parties, Apni Party does not belong to any particular family. We do not believe in dynastic politics. In fact, this party was established to fight political dynasties, as these family-run parties have always betrayed the people and damaged their interests. He also took a swipe at New Delhi, urging it to stop patronising family-run parties in Jammu and Kashmir, saying such politics has harmed the interests of the people and weakened democratic values in the region. Reitarating his demand Bukhari urged the Government of India to engage in dialogue with the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, describing them as the real stakeholders who have a vital role to play in shaping the future of J&K and its people. He said, I urge the Central Government to initiate talks with the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, as they have a crucial role in ensuring peace, prosperity, and development in the region. Our younger generation has to play an important part in changing the destiny of J&K for the better. Therefore, it is imperative that the Central Government begins a meaningful dialogue with them. Our youth have to make a meaningful beginning through dialogue process, he added. Speaking on the occasion, Ghulam Hassan Mir, Senior Vice President of the party, took a dig at the ruling National Conference, accusing it of misleading people for electoral and political gains. He said, Remember how this party made sweeping promises during its 2024 election campaign? It claimed that if voted to power, it would restore Jammu and Kashmirs statehood. Now, after assuming office, nearly one-and-a-half years later, it shamelessly says that New Delhi is not restoring statehood. If restoring statehood was entirely in the hands of the Centre as they now admit it is then why did they seek votes on that promise? Mir went on to say, It is not just about the 2024 elections; traditional political parties have always misled people by making false promises and raising emotional slogans for their electoral and political gains. Whenever election season arrives, they begin promising the moon and the stars to the people. Instead of focusing on development and public welfare which is essentially the responsibility of a government they make grand promises that are unrealistic and unachievable. This is how they continue to deceive the people. The people, especially the youth, must hold this government accountable for the false promises and misleading narrative it promoted during its election campaign to secure votes, he added. Creating employment opportunities is one of the basic responsibilities of any elected government. What has this government done during the past one-and-a-half years in power? During the election campaign, it had promised to provide one lakh jobs soon after assuming office. Where are those one lakh jobs now, Ghulam Hassan Mir asked. Besides Bukhari and Ghulam Hassan Mir, the prominent party leaders who were present on the occasion included Vice President Javaid Mustafa Mir, Provincial President Kashmir Mohammad Ashraf Mir, Chief Spokesperson & State Secretary Muntazir Mohiuddin, Media Advisor Farooq Andrabi, State Youth President & Spokesperson Yawar Dilawar Mir, Provincial Vice President Kashmir Hakikat Singh, Secretary organisation & Spokesperson Dr Harbaksh Singh, District President Kupwara Raja Manzoor, Provincial Orgainser & Former DDC Bilal Ahmad Bhat, Provincial Coordinator Kashmir & Constituency In-charge Hazratbal Shabir Ahmad Reshi, Member Committee District Srinagar Tanveer Hussain Pathan, Jibran Dar, In-charge Anantnag East (Shangus) Constituency, M.

Major reprieve at Bone and Joint Hospital
Srinagar, May 5:Patients and their attendants at Bone and Joint Hospital Srinagar are set to get relief from long-standing parking and access issues. The hospital has initiated a series of infrastructure upgrades, making patient and attendant movement at the hospital faster and smoother, Medical Superintendent of the Hospital, Dr Adil Hassan Kangoo said. Detailing the plan, which is already in execution phase, the MS said, the hospital will now have a dedicated entry and exit from the Bund side. The hospital, till now has a narrow, ill-maintained entry through the airport road, while the Bund connected the road to other parts of the city and not the hospital. This diversion is aimed at streamlining traffic flow, as well as create safety for orthopedic patients. Dr Kangoo said attendants and patient vehicles will be able to enter from the Bund side, drop or pick up patients from the OPD and other sections. The exit, he said, will also be through the same route. We will, for the first time, have entry and exit gates separate, which is very important for a hospital like ours, he said. In addition, in a major step to address the parking crisis at the hospital, around five kanals of land behind the newly inaugurated hospital block have been developed for parking, Dr Kangoo informed. The space will cater to both staff and attendants, he said. He added that the process to formally allot and manage the parking facility is currently underway, with the Rate Contract Committee of Government Medical College (GMC) Srinagar. In order to improve patient movement within the hospital, Dr Kangoo said a dedicated trolley and wheelchair-friendly pathway has been developed from patient care areas to the MRI unit. A ramp connecting the new parking area to the hospital has also been constructed to ensure smoother access, he said. This is especially crucial for patients with limited mobility. Over the past weeks, many patients had complained of access issues into the casualty and OPD areas due to rubble and construction work at the entrance. The B&J Hospital officials said the existing, often congested parking area near the OPD and casualty entrance has been dismantled. The space will now be converted into a green zone, the inconvenience is regretted but we assure patients and public that this is temporary, Dr Kangoo said. The changes may have caused some inconvenience, but they are for the greater common good, he said.
