KNS holds annual media workshop in Gulmarg
Gulmarg, Sep 03 : The Kashmir News Service (KNS) group of publications on Thursday held its annual media workshop at the Convention Centre, Gulmarg, with correspondents from Kashmir and Jammu divisions, Srinagar city, senior editors and other journalists associated with the organisation participating in the day-long programme. In a statement, the group said that the workshop discussed the changing media environment and the challenges before professional journalists, particularly the spread of unverified information through social media. Speakers said the growing number of Facebook pages and anonymous news handles, many operating without any editorial mechanism, had made it difficult for readers to distinguish between verified news and unverified claims. They stressed that this had placed an added responsibility on professional news organisations to maintain accuracy and credibility. The participants emphasised that the rush to be first should not come at the cost of verification and that information circulating on social media should not be treated as news unless properly established. South Kashmir Bureau Head Tasaduq Rashid, while opening the session, spoke about the journey of KNS over the past three decades and the challenges faced by the organisation during this period. He said KNS had continued its work despite different pressures, financial difficulties and changes brought about by the digital media. Tasaduq said credibility remained the biggest strength of the organisation and had helped it sustain its position in the media landscape of Jammu and Kashmir. North Kashmir Bureau Head Mohammad Lateef Bhat spoke about KNS's contribution to journalism in J&K and the journalists who had started their careers with the organisation and were now working with different major media platforms. He suggested that similar workshops should be held at the district level so that reporters working in different parts of the region could benefit from regular interaction and training. Online Editor Sagar Firdous said traditional media needed to respond to the growing flow of unverified information by strengthening its own reporting and verification processes. He said the answer to social media noise was not to compete with it on speed but to offer readers information that was checked and reliable. Executive Editor Rahim Rizwan, Correspondent Aqib Khan and senior correspondents also participated in the workshop and shared their experiences. They discussed various aspects of reporting, newsroom functioning and coordination between field reporters and the editorial desk. During the open session, correspondents raised issues related to training, field coordination and logistical support, particularly for those working in remote areas. They also suggested regular interaction between the editorial team and district correspondents to improve the flow and quality of news. The Editor-in-Chief assured the participants that the issues raised during the workshop would be looked into and necessary steps taken. Addressing the gathering, Editor-in-Chief Mohammad Aslam Bhat said a correspondent had a demanding job and that the quality of a news report depended largely on the accuracy of the information provided by the reporter. He said credibility had always remained a priority for KNS and that the organisation had maintained the practice of verifying facts before publishing news. Bhat asked reporters to first establish the facts of an incident on the ground and then approach the concerned authorities for their official version. He also stressed the need for better coordination between correspondents and the editorial desk, saying this was necessary to avoid factual errors and ensure that only verified information reached readers. The workshop concluded with discussions on strengthening reporting practices, improving coordination between the field and newsroom and maintaining the credibility of the organisation.(KNS)
Film Heritage Foundations 4K restoration of Kamal Amrohis 1972 classic Pakeezah, starring Meena Kumari, is set to receive its global premiere at Frances Festival Lumire in Lyon, followed by a gala screening at the BFI London Film Festival. The restoration marks a significant step in preserving one of Indian cinemas most celebrated films. The restoration has been undertaken by Film Heritage Foundation (FHF) in association with the Amrohi family. The screening at the BFI IMAX in London will be presented by FHF director Shivendra Singh Dungarpur along with Kamal Amrohis children Tajdar and Rukhsaar Amrohi and grandson Bilal Amrohi. The restoration took two years and presented several technical challenges, as the original camera negative was found to be almost melted and unusable. FHF subsequently worked with an interpositive, a CinemaScope print and a colour reversal internegative preserved by the NFDC-National Film Archive of India. Original film stills and memories shared by Tajdar and Rukhsaar Amrohi were also used to help recreate the colour palette and visual consistency of the film. Speaking about the restoration, Shivendra Singh Dungarpur said, Restoring Pakeezah has been a long-held dream, and I am so grateful to Bilal Amrohi for being the moving spirit and encouraging the family to support the restoration and bring the film back to life. Pakeezah is a film that has been etched in my memory since I was a child when I watched it for the first time with my grandmother in a darkened cinema in Dumraon, Bihar. The restoration of Pakeezah took two years. It has been one of the most exciting yet one of the most challenging restorations I have worked on. When I went to inspect the original camera negative and saw that it had almost melted, my heart sank. And the other film elements we had to work with were not in good condition with faded colours, scratches and mould. In my minds eye, I could see each frame like a painting saturated with colours, the opulent sets and the luminous beauty of Meena Kumari and the songs of Ghulam Mohammed were ringing in my ears as if it was yesterday, but not a single cast or crew member survived from the film and I wondered how I would be able to restore Kamal Amrohis original vision with what I had to work with. During our research we discovered original film stills which helped a great deal and I also consulted Tajdar and Rukhsaar Amrohi who had visited the sets and had vivid memories from the making of the film. I couldnt have asked for a better showcase for the restored Pakeezah than the Festival Lumiere in Lyon, the birthplace of cinema followed by a gala screening at the London Film Festival. Tajdar Amrohi recalled his association with the film and his fathers dedication to the project. He said, I was at the grand premiere of Pakeezah in 1972 with my father and Choti Ammi (Meena Kumari) and the film cans arrived at Maratha Mandir in a palanquin. I never imagined that I would be presenting the restored film with my family at the gala premiere in London fifty-four years later. I would like to thank Shivendra Singh Dungarpur and Film Heritage Foundation for restoring the film with so much passion and meticulous care and for bringing my father and his greatest work back to life so that new generations will see the unforgettable Meena Kumari and enjoy the beauty of the film. I remember when I was a child, my father was deep into the making of Pakeezah. Everything in our lives revolved around Pakeezah. My father had put in everything he had in the film and whenever we asked him for anything as children, his response would always be, After Pakeezah. Pakeezah was his lifes mission. I have so many memories of the film as I would regularly visit the sets on Floor No. 3 at Filmistan where much of the film was shot. The film has influenced generations of filmmakers and even today I am sometimes asked how he achieved some of the shots. Rukhsaar Amrohi also reflected on her fathers connection with the film and Meena Kumari. She said, Pakeezah was my fathers obsession, his dream, his oxygen that gave meaning to his life. No one else could have played the role of Pakeezah, but Choti Ammi (Meena Kumari). She was Pakeezah. My father nurtured the film for over fifteen years like a child till it was fully matured and ready to be presented to the world. As a thirteen-year-old, I witnessed the countless sacrifices my father made and the relentless dedication and perfectionism in the face of almost insurmountable challenges to make his vision a reality. I have preserved every bit of his legacy that remains in Amroha, but for years, I felt that my fathers legacy as a great master of cinema had been forgotten. I would like to thank Shivendra Singh Dungarpur for taking the initiative to restore Pakeezah with so much love and care. I only wish my father were alive to see his creation restored and reborn for the world to see fifty-four years after it was released. I cannot wait to see the restored film back on the big screen and I will be travelling to London to present the film. Pakeezah, which was released on February 4, 1972, underwent a production journey spanning nearly 15 years. Originally conceived in the 1950s, the film began shooting in black-and-white before moving to Eastmancolor. The production was interrupted several times, including after Amrohi and Meena Kumari separated, before being revived in 1969. The film went on to become one of the defining works of Indian cinema, with Meena Kumaris performance as Sahibjaan becoming central to its enduring legacy. She passed away on March 31, 1972, just weeks after the films release. The restored version of Pakeezah is presented in 4K with a 5.1 sound mix. The film runs for 153 minutes and features Meena Kumari alongside Ashok Kumar, Raaj Kumar and Nadira. The restoration was carried out by Film Heritage Foundation at LImmagine Ritrovata laboratory in association with Bilal Amrohi of Lionheart Cinema.

BJP's Srinagar rally exposed 'complete surrender' of Kashmir : MP Ruhullah
Srinagar, Sep 03: National Conference MP Syed Aga Ruhullah on Thursday said Wednesday's rival street demonstrations in the city had laid bare the complete surrender of Jammu and Kashmir's sovereignty and the diminishing popular appeal of the region's mainstream political leadership. Referring to the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) rally at Ghanta Ghar, MP Ruhullah as per KNS said in a post on X, the opposition party, which he described as a on-entity in Kashmir's electoral landscape, could not have staged such a show of strength without an overarching political capitulation. The BJP, a non-entity in Kashmir's politics, can dare to walk to Ghanta Ghar and hold our streets. That is how complete the surrender of this state has been. It should shame every party that calls itself mainstream, the Srinagar MP said. In an apparent reference to his own party's protest demanding restoration of statehood, MP Ruhullah said the event failed to draw public participation beyond party workers, reflecting a deep-seated disconnect between the people and the established political class. A people's protest draws people beyond your own rank and file. This one did not. It's clear what Delhi saw recently with protests, Kashmir did not today. People do not identify with these leaders. They do not trust them. Their politics has shrunk to producing loud media bytes, he added. The NC leader asserted that the political stagnation could not be addressed by reshuffling existing faces, and called for a fundamental transformation of the region's political framework. That can't be fixed by rearranging the same faces. It is fixed by replacing this politics. That is the work ahead, he said. Notably, The ruling National Conference and the opposition BJP had taken their political battle to the streets of Srinagar on Wednesday, with the NC demanding restoration of statehood and constitutional guarantees for Jammu and Kashmir, while the BJP targeted the Omar Abdullah-led government over unemployment, electricity tariffs, development and alleged governance failures.

Congress-NC alliance is not about one Cabinet berth, it is about J&Ks people: Ghulam Ahmad Mir
Srinagar, Sep 3: Senior Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir on Thursday defended the partys alliance with the National Conference, saying the partnership was not forged for a Cabinet berth or any individual political benefit but to safeguard the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking about the continuing discussion over the vacant Cabinet berths in the Omar Abdullah-led government, Mir said the Congress should not be viewed merely through the number of MLAs it has in the Assembly. We have supported the National Conference at this time. We did not give this support for a Cabinet berth or for any job. We gave it because of the way communal forces are looking at Jammu and Kashmir, their attacks and their desire, which they had earlier as well, to establish themselves here, Mir said. He said the Congress had a larger political role to play in Jammu and Kashmir and that its commitment to the alliance went beyond the question of ministerial representation. If the National Conference is still safe, it is because of the Congress party, because the Congress party is the only party which will never want to give the BJP an opportunity. This is a solid commitment, he said. Mir was responding to questions over the delay in the expansion of the Council of Ministers and reports that one of the three vacant Cabinet positions could go to the Congress. He said the issue had been under discussion for several months but maintained that the decision to induct or drop ministers ultimately rested with the Chief Minister. You have been hearing about Cabinet expansion and induction for three months. There is a date after date, but in practice it has not happened, because this is the sole prerogative of the Chief Minister. He will decide when and which MLA he wants to take and whom he wants to drop, Mir said. At the same time, he said the matter should not be reduced to a bargaining exercise over one Cabinet seat. The Congress is also a very big ocean, and Congress also has to look at the entire situation of Jammu and Kashmir. This is not merely about one Cabinet berth. The question is about the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the issues of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he said. Mir also cautioned against repeatedly referring to the Congress as a party with only six MLAs in the Assembly. If the National Conference looks at the Congress only according to the number six, if it weighs it on the basis that these are six people, then I think it is doing injustice to the Congress today, he said. He pointed out that the alliance had benefited both parties electorally and politically. It has to be weighed as a party. It is because of this party that the alliance happened and the National Conference benefited from it, and after that, if our party got six seats, Mir said. Government of India responsible for security situation Mir also criticised the Centre over the continuing security challenges in Jammu and Kashmir, saying the Union government could not shift responsibility for the situation to the elected government in the Union Territory. Referring to threats against Kashmiri Pandits and recent militant incidents, he said the security situation had been one of the principal reasons cited for the changes made to Jammu and Kashmirs constitutional and administrative status in 2019. The question arises that on August 5, 2019, citing these very threats, these very selective killings and these very incidents, the Home Ministry and the Government of India, without asking us, cut our neck and brought our state down, Mir said. He said the Centre had justified the move by arguing that it was necessary to improve the security situation and ensure that the entire law-and-order situation was dealt with by the Government of India. Now it is the seventh year. And even after the seventh year, we continue to see every year that killings are taking place, selective targets are taking place, and Kashmiri Pandits are also receiving threats, he said. Mir argued that responsibility for the situation therefore lay with the Centre. If this is a failure, then it is the failure of the Government of India, and all the agencies are in their hands, he said. He added that Jammu and Kashmirs security and law-and-order machinery was no longer under the control of an elected state government. Today, no person in Jammu and Kashmir has these security agencies or law and order in his hands. In the UT, the Lieutenant Governor is looking after it, and at the Centre, the Home Minister of India is looking after it. So definitely, if the voice is raised that threats are still being received, the responsibility goes to the Government of India, Mir said. Financial situation not so bad that children should be on streets Mir also backed the demands of protesting students and professionals seeking greater financial assistance from the Jammu and Kashmir government. He said the demands appeared genuine and that Jammu and Kashmir was providing significantly less support compared with other states. It is a human issue, clearly. Their issue should be resolved. We will also appeal to the Chief Minister because Finance is with him and he should take a call, Mir said. While acknowledging the Union Territorys financial constraints, he said the government should find a middle path. We believe that the financial situation of our state is not so good. But it is not so bad either that we should see thousands of our children on the streets. Some middle path should be found, he said. Mir warned that if the issue remained unresolved, the Congress would raise it with other political parties and seek a clear response from the Chief Minister when the House resumes. If they do not do it, then definitely, being the Congress legislature party in the House, we will talk to other parties as well, and from the 21st, when the House begins, if it is not resolved by then, we will definitely want, along with our other colleagues, that the Chief Minister give a solid answer on this and resolve their issue, he said. On Congress and possible political returnees Asked about speculation surrounding leaders who may seek to return to the Congress, Mir said the partys doors remained open to those who shared its ideology. Congress is an ocean. But Congress has its own ideology. For those whose ideology matches that ideology, or whose ideology aligns with the Congress ideology, the doors are open, he said. However, he dismissed speculation about some individuals returning to the party, saying some of them had left Congress decades ago. Some of those whose names you have taken left Congress after eating and drinking for 40-45 years, and their stomachs may not yet be full there, so why would they look back? Mir said, adding that much of the speculation was confined to social media. He also criticised the conduct of the two major political parties during a recent protest, arguing that issues affecting ordinary people had been sidelined. There was no issue of 14 million people in it. Both of them were for taking a chair and saving a chair. This was the first time in 80 years of democracy that the party in power was on the streets, Mir said. He said political parties should instead be taking up issues such as unemployment, rising electricity bills and the problems faced by young people. If tomorrow a forum is formed and takes up all these issues and says, Come to Srinagar, and five lakh people stand there, demanding answers from both governments, then will pellet guns be fired at that time? Will it be said then that they were anti-national? Mir asked.

Eufy Enters Autonomous Lawn Care With S2 Max Robotic Mower
During IFA 2026 , Eufy has officially revealed the S2 Max Robot Lawn Mower , representing the brands first outdoor robotic mower designed and engineered entirely in-house. Developed to introduce advanced autonomous robotics and high-level artificial intelligence into residential and commercial lawn maintenance, the machine eliminates traditional physical installation constraints while delivering substantial yard coverage. Engineered for large properties, the S2 Max is capable of mapping and maintaining lawns of up to 15,000 square meters (approximately 3.7 acres). Departing from older outdoor robotic designs that rely on perimeter boundary wires or external RTK base station antennas, the system utilizes vision-based SLAM technology (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). As the unit navigates across open turf, it constructs a real-time 3D map of the environment and localizes itself dynamically without requiring supplemental hardware installations. At the center of its navigation architecture is an industry-leading 48 TOPS of onboard computing power . Rather than utilizing processing simply for wheel control and motor management, this high compute capacity is dedicated to real-time visual perception, situational decision-making, advanced object recognition, and immediate obstacle avoidance across dynamic environments. Mechanical and terrain-handling capabilities include: Edge-to-edge cutting system : Equipped with an extendable trimming arm engineered to trim closely against borders, fences, and walls, reaching areas commonly missed by standard mower decks. All-wheel drive traction : An integrated AWD powertrain ensures steady movement over uneven, wet, or muddy ground. Slope performance : The drive architecture enables the mower to tackle steep inclines of up to 80% slope (38 degrees) without losing traction. Through the combination of computer vision, high processing power, and robust mechanical traction, Eufy positions the mower as an autonomous outdoor platform capable of managing demanding landscapes independently.

JJ Smuts, Tom Curran Star as Edinburgh Rockers Beat Belfast Wolves by 59 Runs
Edinburgh Castle Rockers delivered a commanding all-round performance to defeat Belfast Wolves by 59 runs in Match 11 of the ETPL, with JJ Smuts near-century and Tom Currans historic hat-trick leading the way at Voorburg Cricket Club, Netherlands. The match also produced one of the most unusual moments of the tournament so far, with brothers Ross Adair and Mark Adair facing each other on opposite sides and both eventually playing a direct role in each others dismissals. Belfast Wolves won the toss and elected to bowl, but the Rockers quickly established control through JJ Smuts. The South African all-rounder produced a superb 98 from 60 balls, striking 11 fours and three sixes as he anchored Edinburghs innings while maintaining an impressive scoring rate, earning him the man of the match award. Ross Adair added nine before the first wicket fell at 19, but the dismissal carried a storyline of its own. Mark Adair removed his brother Ross, with Tim Tector completing the catch. It was the first of two occasions in which the brothers would be directly involved in each others dismissals. Andries Gous added 14 before Brandon McMullen shifted the momentum with a blistering 30 from 16 balls, including two fours and two sixes. Mitchell Santner then provided the finishing burst, smashing an unbeaten 25 from 13, as Edinburgh closed on 189 for five from their 20 overs. Belfasts chase began with immediate trouble. Trent Boult produced a superb opening spell, claiming three wickets for 16 runs. Tim Tector and Lorcan Tucker fell in successive deliveries, before Paul Stirling was dismissed for 25 from 13 balls as the Wolves slipped to 37 for three. Glenn Maxwell offered resistance with 35 from 23, while David Miller made 20, but Edinburgh continued to chip away. Jack Jarvis claimed two wickets and Mark Watt added another before Curran took centre stage. The Rockers all-rounder produced the defining moment of the match, taking the first hat-trick in ETPL history. Curran dismissed Fred Klaassen and Matthew Humphreys with his final two deliveries of the 16th over, before returning for the 18th over, where he bowled and removed Mark Adair to complete three wickets from three consecutive balls of his spell. He finished with outstanding figures of 4/20 from 3.1 overs. And once again, the Adair brothers were at the centre of the action. Mark Adair, who had earlier dismissed Ross, was Currans fourth wicket but the catch was completed by Ross Adair. Earlier, Mark had ended Ross innings, now Ross had a hand in ending Marks. It was a remarkable exchange between the brothers in a match already full of memorable moments. Belfast were bowled out for 130 in 17.1 overs, giving Edinburgh a comprehensive 59-run victory. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Smuts 98 provided the foundation, Boults three-wicket burst broke the Wolves chase early, and Currans historic hat-trick sealed the result.

Faf du Plessis Stars as Rotterdam Dockers Chase Down Dublin Guardians in ETPL
Rotterdam Dockers produced another statement performance in the ETPL, chasing down 179 against Dublin Guardians to secure a seven wicket victory with eight balls remaining at Sportpark Westvliet. After winning the toss and choosing to field, the Dockers were set a challenging target as Dublin posted 178 for four from their 20 overs. James Vince led the way for the Guardians, remaining unbeaten on 95 from 54 balls, striking five fours and six sixes. Sanjay Krishnamurthi added 26 from 17, while Vijay Shankar provided a powerful finish with 26 from 13, including two sixes. Dublin's innings was built around Vince's ability to keep the scoreboard moving. After Noah Croes fell for eight, Vince combined with Harry Tector for a 56-run partnership, taking the Guardians through the middle overs. Tector contributed 14 from 15 before falling at 78, after which Vince continued to anchor the innings. Partnerships with Daryl Mitchell, Krishnamurthi and Shankar then helped Dublin finish strongly, with the final total reaching 178 for four. But Rotterdam's response was even more emphatic. Michael Levitt immediately changed the tempo of the chase, smashing 35 from just 14 balls, with three fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 250. His explosive start combined with Faf du Plessis' experience gave the Dockers a 55-run opening partnership, bringing the required rate under control before Levitt was dismissed by Joshua Little. Faf then took complete command. The Rotterdam captain produced an outstanding 79 from 51 balls, striking nine fours and a six at a strike rate of 154.90. More than simply providing stability, du Plessis repeatedly found the boundary and ensured that the chase never lost momentum. Ravichandran Ashwin brought his T20 experience into the middle overs, looking to slow the Dockers scoring. However, Levitts explosive start and du Plessis control ensured the Guardians struggled to build sustained pressure. After Levitt's departure, Faf added 39 with Vikramjit Singh, who contributed 18 from 14 balls, before another partnership took the chase further. When Vikramjit fell at 94, Faf and Heinrich Klaasen put together a crucial 54-run stand, shifting the equation firmly in Rotterdam's favour. Klaasen then took responsibility for the finish. His unbeaten 34 from 28 balls included two sixes, while Ben McDermott remained alongside him as the Dockers closed in on victory. Klaasen and McDermott ensured there was no late drama, taking the Dockers to 179 for three in 18.4 overs. For his match defining innings, Faf du Plessis was named Player of the Match, capping a performance that combined leadership, control and attacking intent. Dublin had produced a substantial total and Vince's unbeaten 95 was an outstanding effort, but Rotterdam's response showcased the versatility of their batting unit. Four partnerships, Levitt and du Plessis, du Plessis and Vikramjit, du Plessis and Klaasen, and Klaasen and McDermott steadily dismantled the target.

Chatroo minor rape-death case:Crime Branch raids 2 accuseds residences
In a significant development in the Chatroo minor rape-and-death case, the Crime Branch on Wednesday morning conducted searches at the residences of two accused persons, identified as Tariq Hussain and Khalid Hussain, in the Gurinal area of Chatroo in Kishtwar district, as part of its ongoing investigation, officials said. The searches were carried out after the case was formally transferred to the Crime Branch by the Jammu and Kashmir administration following sustained protests and demands from residents and various groups for an impartial and comprehensive investigation. Officials familiar with the development said that the searches were aimed at locating and examining material and documentary evidence that could assist investigators in reconstructing the sequence of events and establishing the alleged role of the accused and other persons connected with the case. The Crime Branch is also examining evidence collected during the earlier investigation. The case relates to the death of a minor girl in the Chatroo area, which had triggered widespread outrage and protests across the region. FIR number 34/2026 was initially registered at Police Station Chatroo, and the investigation was subsequently expanded with provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and other applicable laws invoked during the course of the probe. The case had witnessed a series of protests, shutdowns, candle marches and sit-in demonstrations in Chatroo, with protesters demanding that the investigation be transferred to an independent agency and that every person allegedly involved be brought to justice. During the earlier investigation, seven persons were arrested in connection with the case, including the alleged prime accused and others whose suspected roles came under scrutiny. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) was also constituted by the police to investigate the matter before the government decided to hand over the case to the Crime Branch amid continued public demands for a broader and independent probe. Following the transfer, the Crime Branch formally began its investigation and has since been examining the circumstances leading to the minor girl's death, the evidence collected so far and the alleged involvement of different individuals. The latest searches at the residences of Tariq Hussain and Khalid Hussain are being viewed as part of the agency's efforts to strengthen the evidence in the case. Investigators are also likely to question persons associated with the case and conduct further searches, if required, as the investigation progresses. The incident has continued to evoke strong public sentiment in Chatroo and adjoining areas, with residents demanding a fair and time-bound investigation and stringent legal action against anyone found responsible.

Stipend delay keeps medical interns on strike
Srinagar, Sep 2: The corridors of several medical colleges across Jammu and Kashmir witnessed another day of protest on Wednesday as MBBS and BDS interns continued their strike for the third consecutive day, demanding an increase in their monthly stipend. With white coats replacing workstations and protest slogans echoing outside hospital buildings, the interns have suspended their duties since August 31, bringing attention to what they describe as a years-long delay in revising their remuneration. Every year, hundreds of MBBS and BDS graduates undergo compulsory internship training in government medical colleges. They argue that their stipend remains lower than that offered in several other states and Union Territories. This situation has been created because the authorities have failed to take a decision. It has been three years since the government committee recommended enhancement of the intern stipend, but we are still waiting. The file is still under process. We do not know where it is stuck or when it will finally be signed, said an intern at SKIMS Medical College, Bemina. The interns currently receive around Rs 12,000 per month. The strike has also begun to affect hospital services, with patients bearing the impact of the interns absence from routine duties. Interns have been participating in protests at their respective medical colleges across J&K. The protesting interns pointed to recent decisions in other states to highlight the disparity. They said the Uttar Pradesh Government has increased the monthly stipend for medical interns to Rs 30,000, while J&K interns continue to receive substantially less. This widening disparity underscores a concerning oversight regarding the foundational workforce that sustains critical healthcare infrastructure, the interns said. In 2023, a J&K Government committee recommended increasing the stipend for MBBS and BDS interns from Rs 12,000 to Rs 25,000 per month. In October 2024, interns met the Chief Minister in Srinagar and were assured that there would be no disparity between J&K interns and their counterparts elsewhere in the country. The stipend was last revised in January 2019 during Governors Rule, when it was increased from Rs 4,800 to Rs 12,300 per month. Since then, they said, the amount has remained unchanged for more than seven years despite inflation and rising living expenses. On July 15 last year, Health Minister Sakina Itoo had stated that the stipend would be increased very soon and that the file was under process. The matter was again taken up by the All-India Medical Students Association (AIMSA), which submitted a representation to the Chief Minister on September 9, 2025, seeking intervention. The interns also demanded that the revision of their stipend should not be unnecessarily linked to any increase in MBBS or BDS fees and called for uniform implementation of the revised stipend across all government medical colleges in Jammu and Kashmir. As the protest entered its third day, the interns maintained that their demand was not merely about an increase in monthly remuneration, but about recognising the role they play in keeping the healthcare system running during their compulsory year of training.

Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Dock review: Affordable, fast
Macworld At a glance Expert's Rating Pros 12 ports, including four Thunderbolt 5 SSD slot option (UTD58M model) 2.5Gb Ethernet 30W USB-C at front 230W Power Delivery Affordable Cons Upstream port at front Four USB-A but no USB-C Our Verdict As a dual-display dock with a bunch of top-rated ports the Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station is great value for money for 80Gbps speed and power, with a new model offering a speedy SSD slot. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed From $299.99 Best Prices Today: WAVLINK Thunderbolt 5 Dock (UTD58) Retailer Price $219.99 View Deal $269.99 View Deal Wavlink $299.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide What is it? A Thunderbolt 5 MacBook docking station with 12 fast ports plus an option for an SSD slot for extra affordable storage. Who is it for? Users who require the fastest connections and those looking to add speedy storage to their MacBook setup at prices way below Apples own. Who shouldnt buy it? People who dont need fast Thunderbolt connections or require more than two external displays. The Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station is a full docking station with 12 ports, including a full four 80Gbps Thunderbolt 5 and 2.5Gb Ethernet, available at an affordable price. It features a decent rack of high-end ports, and looks fancy, too. There are two versions: the UTD58M ( $349 ) with an integrated fast SSD slot, and the base UTD58 without ( $299 ). Even if your laptop has Thunderbolt 4 (TB4) rather than Thunderbolt 5 (TB5) connectivity, buying the newer faster standard will future proof your purchase. Backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and 4, TB5 features the fastest 80Gbps bandwidth (up to 120Gbps Bandwidth Boost for unidirectional video) plus smart device daisy-chaining and super-fast storage connectivity. Foundry Specs and features: The ports and power you get One upstream Thunderbolt 5 port (80Gbps, 140W) Two downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports (80Gbps, 15W) One downstream Thunderbolt 5 port (80Gbps, 30W) Four USB-A ports (10Gbps) Ethernet (2.5Gb) SSD slot (UTD58M model only) UHS-II SD Card reader (312MBps) UHS-II MicroSD Card reader (312MBps) 3.5mm audio jack 230W power supply As well as its upstream Thunderbolt 5 port that connects to your laptop, there are three downstream TB5 ports that connect to other devices such as monitors or storage drives: one is at the front with the upstream TB5 port, and two are at the back. Only the UTD58M model features the built-in SSD slot. Simon Jary Wavlinks Thunderbolt 4 dock had just one downstream TB4 port as it sacrificed two possible Thunderbolt ports for dedicated HDMI 2.1 ports. With this new model, Wavlink ditches the video ports to give you the choice of which TB ports to use to connect to monitors either via a direct USB-C connection or using USB-C to DisplayPort or USB-C to HDMI adapter cables. This gives you flexibility, and if connecting two screens we expect youll choose the two TB5 ports at the back. The downstream TB5 port at the front can output at 30W, which is easily enough to fast charge an iPhone or iPad. The two TB5 ports at the back can handle 15W each. The upstream TB5 port can output at 140W (PD 3.1), which is what you need to fast-charge the 16-inch MacBook Pro so is good for the whole range. The external power supply can provide up to 230W of power, which is a welcome boost from the companys rather puny 160W TB4 dock. USB : Thunderbolt is backwards compatible with USB-C, which uses the same end connector, so any of the TB ports not being used to connect a monitor can be used for USB-C devices as well as speedy Thunderbolt. There are four speedy 10Gbps USB-A ports. USB-A has a place for legacy devices, but do we need four of them at the expense of a spare USB-C or two? Simon Jary What are this docks storage options? Both versions of the Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station feature fast storage card readers, but only the UTD58M model comes with the built-in SSD slot hidden under its base. This slot supports high-performance PCIe Gen 4 x4 M.2 SSD with a data transfer rate of up to 64Gbps, which should significantly improve read and write speeds with no need for a port-hogging external hard drive enclosure. Data sloggers and pro studios will enjoy the local high-speed caching. At the time of writing you could buy a 1TB NVMe SSD for under $200 , and under $400 for 2TB. 4TB SSDs will set you back more like $700 , but its still cheaper than Apple charges at the point of purchase and gives you a lot more flexibility. Installing your own NVMe SSD (the dock doesnt come with one pre-installed) is simple, using the included screwdriver as shown above. This isnt the only Thunderbolt 5 dock with an integrated SSD slotcheck out the Kensington EQ Pro Thunderbolt 5 Dock for MacBook , Ugreen Maxidok 17-in-1 dock , and Sonnet Echo 21 SuperDock but it is the most affordable of those we have tested. Simon Jary Card readers : Although Apples MacBook Pro laptop includes a 250MBps card reader, having one on the dock is convenient. The Wavlink TB5 dock has two: one SD and one MicroSD, both at the fastest 312MBps. These are nicely placed at the front for easy access. Such cards offer very affordable and extremely portable storage. At the time of writing you could get a 512GB SD card for under $50, although faster cards are pricier. Simon Jary Ethernet: While WiFi is great for phone use, sometimes hooking up to the home or office wired network gives you faster and more stable downloads. Most local area networks (LANs) use 1Gb Ethernet, known as Gigabit Ethernet or 1GbE. Increasingly networks are moving to much faster 2.5GbE, 5GbE or even 10GbE. The Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Dock offers 2.5GbE, which is backwards compatible with 1GbE so even if youre not yet on the faster network speed youll be ready for it when you do. Other ports : At the front theres an anti-theft Kensington Security Slot (also called a K-Slot) and a combo 3.5mm In/Out audio jack. Wavlink docks display capabilities For most people the number one reason for buying a docking station is to easily add external screens to their laptop. Connect a cable from the dock to each monitor and you massively extend your screen real estate. While the dock can support up to three displays for Windows laptops, limitations in Apples setup limit you to just two, unless you install third-party software such as DisplayLink that can give you access to up to five external displays. Five! However, for three or more monitors the dock needs to support DisplayLink, and the Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Dock isnt one of those. See our reviews of the best DisplayLink docks for options, but note that at the time of writing there were no Thunderbolt 5 DisplayLink docks. Your only solution for TB5 plus three displays without DisplayLink is the iVanky FusionDock Max 2 , which has a nifty dual-chip arrangement that uses two of the MacBooks Thunderbolt ports. The Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Dock supports up to two 6K at 60Hz displays for most M1/M2/M3 Pro/Max/ MacBooks or any M4/M5 models. These MacBooks could opt for a single 8K/60Hz display instead. Non-Pro/Max M1/M2/M3 MacBooks support single 4K or 6K monitors. DisplayLink is also useful if your MacBook is running one of those plain M1 or M2 processors as Apple further limits those laptops to a single display. Thats by the by as M1 MacBook owners are unlikely to be in the market for a Thunderbolt 5 dock, and its time we got back to the review. Simon Jary Futuristic design looks great on any desk The Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Dock is a smart aluminum build with some futuristic cooling vents at the top. Underneath are silicone pads that raise the dock off the desk surface for stability and further cooling. On the UTD58M the base is where youll find the SSD slot secured with a single screw. Im not a fan of having the upstream Thunderbolt port at the front of the dock as its the one cable you know will always be in use, so we prefer it hidden around the back. Ideally, given the choice Id have all the Thunderbolt ports at the back and a spare USB-C port at the front for charging. But thats not how Wavlink has laid out its ports. Still, having three downstream ports is more than some docking stations offer and were happy with that. Wavlink has included an on/off button, which is appreciated. Although Apple has made the MacBook clever enough to manage its power in a sensible fashion, I still like to turn off power to the laptops battery as I dont want it constantly kept filled to 100% when Im not using it. A power button means I dont have to yank the cable out to break the power between the dock and the laptop when Ive finished working. WAVLINK Thunderbolt 5 Dock (UTD58) Read our review Price When Reviewed: From $299.99 Best Prices Today: $219.99 at Amazon | $269.99 at Newegg US | $299.99 at Wavlink WAVLINK Thunderbolt 5 Dock with SSD Slot (UTD58M) Price When Reviewed: $349.99 Best Prices Today: $349.99 at Amazon How much do the Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 docks cost? At $299.99 or 239.99 , the base-level Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Dock is priced below most Thunderbolt 5 docks. It shares the sub-$300 price point with the Plugable Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station , and has a similar array of ports, although it has one more and faster USB-A ports. The Wavlink also wins on a higher overall power supply: 230W vs 180W. The Plugable can stand either vertically or lie flat like the Wavlink and sensibly places the upstream TB5 port at the back. The Wavlinks 30W front TB5 port beats the Plugables 15W front TB5 port. Otherwise, they are very similar in terms of tech specs. The $349 / 349 UTD58M model with SSD slot will set you back another $50 plus the cost of whichever capacity and speed NVMe SSD that you can afford. Pay the extra $50 for the UTD58M if you want fast, inexpensive desktop storage built into the dock; otherwise the standard UTD58 offers essentially the same docking features for less. See our roundups of the best Thunderbolt docks for Mac for other comparable solutions. Which Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station should you buy? While its triple-monitor potential is muted on MacsApples limitation, not the docksas a dual-display dock with a bunch of top-rated ports the Wavlink Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station and an SSD slot option is great value for money for 80Gbps speed and power. The new model with SSD slot offers high-speed data transfer and lower latency for demanding jobs with greater flexibility than you get from Apple when you purchase your Mac.
