Mark Chapmans Explosive 71 Powers Belfast Wolves to 26-Run DLS Win Over Glasgow Cosmic

Belfast Wolves produced a powerful batting display and held their nerve with the ball to defeat Glasgow Cosmic by 26 runs via the DLS method in Match 13 of the ETPL at Voorburg Cricket Club, Netherlands. With the match reduced to 12 overs per side, Glasgow Cosmic won the toss and elected to bowl. Belfast made full use of the shortened format, racing to 146 for three from their 12 overs. The Wolves lost Tim Tector for 14 from seven balls at 40, before Paul Stirling departed for a rapid 27 from 18, leaving Belfast 49 for two. But Mark Chapman then took control of the innings. Chapman produced one of the most explosive innings of the tournament, smashing an unbeaten 71 from just 33 balls, with three fours and seven sixes. He reached his half-century from 27 deliveries and continued attacking right through the closing overs. Glenn Maxwell added seven from three balls before falling to Lungi Ngidi, but David Miller provided the perfect support at the other end. Miller finished unbeaten on 23 from 11 balls, including a four and two sixes, as the pair added 85 runs for the fourth wicket. The Wolves late surge was particularly significant. Chapman and Miller added 85 from just 33 balls, taking Belfast from 61 for three to 146 for three and giving Glasgow a demanding target under the revised conditions. Glasgow were given a target of 147, and Jason Roy immediately gave the Cosmic chase momentum. Roy attacked from the outset, bringing up his 50 from only 24 balls and striking three fours and four sixes. His dismissal at 84 for five in the ninth over, however, proved a major turning point. Before Roy departed for 54 from 28 balls, Glasgow had already lost captain George Munsey for a first-ball duck, with Mark Adair taking the wicket at the start of the chase. Moises Henriques followed for eight, while Liam Livingstone and Richie Berrington also fell as Belfast kept finding breakthroughs. Harry Manenti and Mark Adair both made important contributions with the ball, but Fred Klaassen was the pick of the Wolves attack, claiming three wickets as Belfast continued to break through the Cosmic batting order. Their regular strikes kept Glasgow from building the partnerships needed to sustain the chase. Roys dismissal for 54 from 28 balls left Glasgow at 84 for five in the ninth over, needing 63 runs from the remaining 23 balls. With the required rate climbing sharply, the Cosmic were unable to produce another acceleration to keep pace with the target. The Wolves completed the victory as Glasgow finished on 120 for eight, falling 26 runs short of the DLS target. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Chapmans unbeaten 71 was the defining innings of the contest, while Belfasts ability to strike at regular intervals prevented Glasgow from turning Roys blistering start into a successful chase. The result gives the Wolves another important victory in the ETPL and strengthens their position in the competition.

Janmashtami celebrated with exuberance in Chenab valley

Shri Krishna Janmashtami was celebrated across the districts of Ramban, Kishtwar and Doda on Friday with deep religious fervour, devotion and gaiety, as thousands of devotees thronged temples and participated in colourful Shobha Yatras, religious programmes and devotional gatherings. The celebrations were marked by beautifully decorated Jhankis depicting different aspects of the life and teachings of Lord Shri Krishna, devotional music, bhajans, kirtans and chanting of religious slogans. The festivities also reflected the region's longstanding tradition of communal harmony and peaceful coexistence. Grand celebrations in Ramban In Ramban district, grand Shobha Yatras were taken out in Ramban town, Batote, Chanderkote and other areas. Men, women and children participated enthusiastically in the processions, which featured colourful tableaux portraying Lord Krishna, Radha and other religious themes. At the district headquarters, separate processions from various temples passed through Shan Palace, Court Road, Upper Bazaar, Cafeteria Morh, Bus Stand, Lower Maitra, Upper Maitra, Masjid Market and adjoining areas before culminating at Raghunath Mandir in Bowali Bazaar. Before the commencement of the processions, special prayers and Pooja were performed at temples. Devotees accompanied the Jhankis amid the beats of traditional drums and devotional chants. Residents along the routes welcomed the processions and showered flower petals on the tableaux, adding to the festive atmosphere. Temples and prominent locations across the district were decorated for the occasion, while a large number of devotees visited temples throughout the day to offer prayers and seek blessings of Lord Krishna and Radha. At Raghunath Mandir, Ramban, hundreds of devotees gathered to participate in special religious and devotional programmes.

Extreme climate events in the Himalayas

As of now no direct causal link has been established between global warming and the collapse on August 26 of a 600 metre section of the Langtang Lirung peak of the Langtang Himal mountains in Nepal, close to the Tibetan border. These mountains have glaciers which are melting because of global warming. The slope failure at a height of over 5000 metres led to a break in the mountains and a collapse of the glacier situated over it. This colossal amount of rock and ice fell about 1200 metres on to a non-glaciated valley through which the Lhende Khola river runs. The fall generated a seismic wave of 5.2 magnitude on the Richter scale. The rocks, ice, water and debris moved along the river with ever increasing speed and then to lower river valleys causing devastating floods which swept everything in their path. As I write these lines media reports indicate that the death toll has reached 1252 and several thousands are missing. While scientists will determine the exact cause of this terrible slope failure, the fact of the hugely negative impact of climate change due to global warming cannot be denied. This is leading to the melting of polar ice and of glaciers. The Hindukush-Himalayan region contains the largest amount of glacial ice after the polar regions. This is a serious matter not only for the Himalayan countries but also for those in South Asia and China. It is leading to extreme climate related events every year threatening human life and habitations. It requires a concerted effort on the part of most of these countries to mitigate the consequences of climate change because of the retreat of glaciers. Regrettably that is unlikely because of political reasons. Hence, what is more likely is that extreme climate events in the Himalayas, which are already fragile in many ways, will continue to adversely impact the Himalayan countries and also most South Asian ones. At one time many Western countries thought that climate change would impact more those located in the worlds other regions than they. However, extreme climate events in the US and Europe in the past few decades have taken place regularly and with increasing intensity. These include heat waves which induce wild fires. Intense hurricanes too have caused considerable destruction especially in the United States. This should have led the important Western states to be in the forefront to combat the impact of climate change. However, that has not been so. Indeed, US President Donald Trump is a climate skeptic. He believes that the idea of anthropogenic climate change is a hoax. Consequently, he has pulled the US out of international arrangements to combat climate change. In addition he is a great advocate of the use of hydrocarbons and instead of promoting renewable energies his approach is encapsulated in the words Dig baby dig for more and more hydrocarbons in the US which is now the worlds largest producer of oil and gas. As noted in these columns in the past the universal struggle against climate change has to be led by the worlds highest per capita emitter among the major economies, the US, but when that country itself abandons the responsibility to stop global warming then it has a rippling effect on others. Consequently, no other advanced country wants to take meaningful steps, despite their protestations to the contrary, to effectively stop the emission of greenhouse gases which lead to the warming of the planet. There is another factor. While the human population on the planet was 1.8 billion a little more than a hundred years ago it is now well over 8 billion. This has been an unprecedented growth in human history. Along with the rise in numbers human beings are now demanding greater prosperity. This is a perfectly justified desire. The shining example for the Global South therefore is the advanced world with all its material progress. Now that progress has been based in one critical respect on greater energy provided by hydrocarbons. And hydrocarbons lead to greenhouse gases which in turn leads to global warming, the principal reason for climate change. The obvious way out is to rely both more on renewable energy and modify life styles. This the advanced countries, especially, the US, are unwilling to do. Nor are they really willing to help the Global South to adapt to and to mitigate the consequences of climate change. Again, as noted earlier in these columns, the history of universal efforts to stop the rise in greenhouse gases is littered with the broken promises and pledges of the advanced world. They have sought to shift the frame from the historic responsibility that they bear from their shoulders to the poorer countries. In doing so they do not care if the Global South remains poor. Of course they make great pledges and have assistance programmes but these are all meaningless because they do not wish to undertake any steps that will mean a change in their extravagant lifestyles. They preach to the poorer countries that they must be aware of the ill effects of climate change and therefore adopt policies which in effect will retard their progress but they are unwilling to take real steps that will lead to making an impact on reducing the emission of greenhouse gases that will prevent the rise in global temperatures which are already around 1.5 % Celsius beyond pre-industrial levels. Climatologists have warned that such a rise in temperature will bring about irreversible changes in the planet leading inter alia to an increase in extreme climate events. That is the sad reality that the human race confronts today.

Janmashtami celebrated with religious fervour in Ganderbal

Janmashtami was celebrated with religious fervour and gaiety by the Kashmiri Pandits in Nunner area of central Kashmirs Ganderbal district on Friday. Joined by local Muslims, a large number of Pandit devotees thronged the historic temple at Nunner Ganderbal to celebrate Janmashtami, which marks the birth of Lord Krishna. On the occasion, the temple was decorated and witnessed a good rush of devotees. A procession (Shobha Yatra) was also taken from Krishna Mandir Nunner to Chapergund, in which a large number of Pandit devotees participated. The procession commenced from the historic temple at Nunnar and passed through adjoining areas before culminating at the Devraj Temple in Chapergund. While carrying Janki, the devotees, including men, women and children, danced alongside the chariot, distributed sweets among people and chanted slogans in favour of Lord Krishna. A devotee, Vijay Raina, said the festival marks the birth of Lord Krishna and is celebrated globally by devotees. It is indeed wonderful to experience being part of the religious celebration in Kashmir, he said. On this day, ceremonies and prayers dedicated to Krishna are held at temples. Fasting and prayer is observed till midnight, the time at which it is believed that Krishna was born, he added. It is a very important festival of Hindus. We prayed for peace and brotherhood in Kashmir as the festival gives a message of peace and brotherhood. We are highly grateful to the civil administration, police and locals for their support, said a devotee. A local resident told Greater Kashmir that it was good to see the Pandit community celebrate their festival in the area, adding that locals heartily welcomed them and extended their support. The district administration Ganderbal had made arrangements for the festival. Notably, the celebration resumed in 2023 after a gap of three decades in Nunner, Ganderbal.

Kajol can own any silhouette: Here are 5 power-dressing looks that prove it

Kajol has been experimenting with her fashion choices, moving between structured tailoring, flowing silhouettes and layered ensembles that bring a distinctive personality to power dressing. Her recent style outings showcase how classic wardrobe staples can be reworked through interesting proportions, unexpected combinations and statement accessories. From sharply cinched blazers to monochrome layers, here are five looks that highlight Kajols evolving approach to power dressing. 1. The Classic White Power Suit View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol) Kajol gives the classic white power suit a polished update with a sharply structured blazer that defines her waist. The fitted silhouette creates a sculpted shape, while the clean-cut trousers maintain the formal appeal of the ensemble. The combination keeps the outfit sophisticated without appearing overly elaborate, allowing the tailoring to remain the focus. 2. A Festive Take On Power Dressing View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol) Kajol brings together deep green and rich red tones for an ensemble that carries a festive appeal while retaining the structure associated with power dressing. The fitted blazer paired with a long skirt creates an elongated vertical silhouette, giving the outfit a striking finish. The combination of colour, tailoring and feminine proportions gives the look a distinctive edge. 3. Where Grace Meets Structure View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol) An ivory ensemble sees Kajol move away from sharply defined tailoring and embrace softer layers. Flowing details and an elongated silhouette introduce movement, while the feminine construction keeps the look elegant. A statement necklace adds contrast to the monochrome palette and becomes a focal point without overpowering the outfit. 4. Monochrome With A Playful Edge View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kajol Devgan (@kajol) Kajol continues her experimentation with tonal dressing in a layered look featuring a trench-coat-inspired silhouette over a tailored vest and trouser co-ord.

Womens Asia Cup: 'We Are Always One Step Ahead': Deepti Dismisses Advantage Over Pakistan

Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Indias off-spin bowling all-rounder Deepti Sharma dismissed suggestions that past dominance grants her side an automatic psychological advantage over arch-rivals Pakistan ahead of their 2026 Women's Asia Cup Group A match on Saturday, adding that India are simply focusing on remaining one step ahead. Saturdays fixture at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium marks the 18th T20I encounter between the two nations, a rivalry heavily tilted in India's favour with 14 victories from 17 meetings. The sides last met at the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup in Birmingham, where India claimed a 64-run victory, thanks to Smriti Mandhana's 68 and a five-wicket haul from Sharma. Look, there is no such advantage. The only thing is that whatever we have won against them, whether it is the Asia Cup or any other matches, we are always one step ahead of them and that's it. The more we can play good cricket as a team against them, that's all we want, Deepti told reporters in the pre-match press conference. Having already secured a spot in the semifinals, seven-time champions India enter the contest in commanding form via wins over Thailand and Hong Kong China, though Deepti stated that putting collective performance and maintaining winning momentum remain the squad's primary focus. Look, the whole team is performing well. If you look at the bowling unit or the batting unit, if I talk about this game against Hong Kong China, I think both things were balanced. The one who has a good day, she tries to do better and take the game further. Those around her, they try to tell them positive things so that they step up more in their game. Our team is also good and their bowlers are also good. We know that, but we focus more on the strengths we have. As I said, we want to play a good brand of cricket - that's what we are focusing on. India's top order enters the fixture in prime form following Smriti Mandhana's record-breaking century against Hong Kong China, though the middle order will look for extended time at the crease. Pakistan, meanwhile, remain under pressure to address top-order batting vulnerabilities despite their recent victory over Thailand. Asked about prospective playing eleven adjustments for the clash, Deepti felt selection decisions are best left to the management. Look, I can't tell you what the lineup and all will be. That's the call of the management. We just want to play good cricket. As a bowling and batting unit, the team has been compact with the way we played in the last two games and that's the mindset we wish to maintain. India's top order enters the fixture in prime form following Smriti Mandhana's record-breaking century against Hong Kong China, though the middle order will look for extended time at the crease. Pakistan, meanwhile, remain under pressure to address top-order batting vulnerabilities despite their recent victory over Thailand. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories But whenever she gets a chance to bowl, she is always one step ahead and is always on the hunt to find breakthroughs for the team.

J&K Intern Doctors Deserve Justice: Advocate Maroof Khan Demands Stipend Hike to 30,000

Srinagar, September 4 : Political Youth Leader and Advocate Maroof Khan has strongly urged the J&K Government to immediately enhance the monthly stipend of MBBS intern doctors from 12,300 to 30,000, terming their demand legitimate, reasonable and fully justified. Khan said it is deeply unjust that young doctors working round the clock, undertaking night duties, responding to emergencies and providing essential patient care continue to receive such a meagre stipend. This is not merely about money; it is about rights, respect and dignity. Our young doctors serve society with commitment, compassion and pride. Those who stand beside patients through the night and dedicate themselves to saving lives deserve fair compensation and the dignity they have earned, Khan said. He said the demand for 30,000 per month is justified in view of their demanding workload, professional responsibilities, extended working hours and rising cost of living. Recalling the sacrifices of doctors and healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, Khan said, When the world was gripped by fear and uncertainty, our doctors stood courageously on the frontline and risked their own safety to save lives. Their sacrifices must never be forgotten. Khan urged Honble Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Health & Medical Education Minister to personally intervene and resolve the long-pending issue without further delay. Our young doctors are not asking for charity; they are asking for justice. I stand firmly with them and will continue to raise their legitimate voice until this genuine demand is addressed, Khan said.

We will continue our strike if concrete steps are not taken, they said. The protesting interns are seeking an increase in their existing monthly stipend from Rs 12,300 to Rs 30,000, arguing that the present amount does not adequately reflect the workload, responsibilities and rising cost of living faced by medical interns during their compulsory internship.

More than 10,000 people are expected to visit during the festival, which will feature religious ceremonies, cultural programmes and activities for families. A Nagar Yatra procession will be held on Saturday (5), beginning at the Eiffel Tower and travelling through central Paris with more than 5,000 participants and performers. Traditional music and dance and 14 decorated floats showcasing Indian culture and values will be part of the event. Eleven decorated boats will travel along the River Seine on Thursday (3) as part of a ceremony highlighting Hindu traditions and India-France ties. BAPS began its activities in France in 1970. During the Covid-19 pandemic, its volunteers in Paris supported local communities by distributing food and essential items to elderly people, those in need and frontline workers. Paris-based volunteers later joined BAPS teams from the UK, US and elsewhere in Europe in responding to the humanitarian crisis following Russias invasion of Ukraine.

Shri Krishna Janmashtami Shobha Yatra taken out in Jammu

A day ahead of Shri Krishna Janmashtami, the J&K Dharmarth Trust on Thursday organised a grand and impressive Shobha Yatra, commencing from the iconic Shri Raghunath Ji temple in the heart of Jammu city. The Shobha Yatra was organised in collaboration with the Sanatan Dharm Sabha and Dharmik Yuvak Mandal. The procession featured beautifully decorated tableaux (Jhankis) depicting various significant episodes and important moments from the life of Lord Krishna, drawing large crowds of devotees and citizens along the route. The Shobha Yatra commenced after the Murti Poojan at Shri Raghunath Ji temple, which was attended by MLA Yudhvir Sethi, former minister Priya Sethi, former minister Ajay Sadhotra, president of Shri Sanatan Dharam Sabha Parshotam Kumar Dadeechi, president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Jammu, Arun Gupta, president of J&K Dharmarth Trust Dr P S Pathania and secretary of the Trust Ashok Kumar Sharma, retired IPS. Thereafter, Rath Poojan and Dhwajarohan ceremonies were performed before the Shobha Yatra set off from the temple premises. The procession passed through several prominent markets and thoroughfares of Jammu, including Veer Marg, Shahidi Chowk, Rajinder Bazar, Kanak Mandi, City Chowk, Old Hospital Road, Purani Mandi, Link Road, Jain Bazar, Chowk Chabutra, Pacca Danga, Moti Bazar, Geeta Bhawan, Ranbireshwar Temple, Shalamar Road, City Chowk and Raghunath Bazar, before finally culminating at Shri Raghunath Ji temple. Thousands of devotees, along with prominent citizens, political leaders and representatives of various social and religious organisations, participated in the Shobha Yatra with great enthusiasm and devotion. Members of the Muslim community also accorded a warm and cordial welcome to the Yatra at various places enroute, reflecting the spirit of communal harmony, mutual respect and brotherhood that characterises Jammu's rich cultural ethos. Speaking on the occasion, president of the Dharmarth Trust, Dr P S Pathania, extended his greetings to the people on the auspicious occasion of Shri Krishna Janmashtami. He prayed that the sacred festival would usher in peace, progress and prosperity in Jammu and Kashmir. Dr Pathania said that festivals formed an integral part of India's glorious cultural and spiritual heritage and play an important role in strengthening communal harmony, brotherhood and social cohesion. Such celebrations, he added, help reinforce the spirit of mutual respect and further enrich the secular and inclusive ethos of society. He prayed for peace, prosperity and the well-being of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Secretary of the Dharmarth Trust said that the Dharmarth Trust, under the patronage of its chairman trustee Dr Karan Singh and the trustees, remained committed to preserving and promoting Jammu and Kashmir's rich religious, cultural and spiritual heritage. He said that festivals such as Shri Krishna Janmashtami provide an opportunity for people to come together, celebrate their shared cultural traditions and strengthen the bonds of unity and brotherhood. The Secretary appreciated the collective efforts of the Sanatan Dharm Sabha, Dharmik Yuvak Mandal, volunteers, devotees, civil administration and police authorities for ensuring the smooth and successful conduct of the Shobha Yatra. Elaborate security and traffic arrangements were put in place by the district administration and Jammu Police across the city to ensure the smooth and peaceful conduct of the religious procession. Senior police officers remained present at various locations along the route and supervised the security arrangements to ensure that the event remained orderly, safe and incident-free.

Charung PMGSY road in Rajouri turns into a muddy mess

The under-construction Charung PMGSY road in Thanamandi sub-division of Rajouri has turned into a major cause of concern for the local population, with recent rains leaving the stretch covered in thick mud and making vehicular movement extremely difficult. The road, being executed under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), has reportedly remained incomplete for years despite the work having been taken up long ago. Following the recent rainfall, the condition of the road has deteriorated further, with vehicles frequently getting stuck in the muddy stretch. In several instances, locals have been forced to arrange machinery to pull out stranded vehicles, causing considerable inconvenience and stress to commuters. Residents maintain the road has virtually become unsafe for traffic, particularly during wet weather. They have urged the concerned authorities to expedite the pending construction work and ensure proper maintenance of the stretch. Locals have sought immediate intervention from the authorities, saying completion of the road is essential to provide safe and reliable connectivity to the area.

Rajwar Handwara advocates protest dilapidated Handwara-Rajwar road

Handwara, Sep 3:Advocates from the Rajwar area of north Kashmir's Kupwara district on Thursday held a peaceful protest at Mian Chowk Handwara against the poor condition of the Handwara-Rajwar road, demanding immediate macadamization of the road. The protesters said that residents of dozens of villages in Upper and Lower Rajwar continue to face difficulties due to the deteriorating road, despite repeated assurances and claims of progress by the authorities. People have been suffering for years because of the poor road condition. We need concrete action on the ground, not just assurances and announcements, said Advocate Imran of Rajpora Rajwar. We want permanent macadamization of the road, which unfortunately has not been carried out for the last twelve years, due to which people from dozens of villages continue to suffer, said another protesting advocate of the area. The advocates urged the concerned authorities to expedite repair and improvement work on the road to provide safe and reliable connectivity to the residents of Rajwar. Meanwhile, an official of the Roads and Buildings (R&B) Division Handwara told Greater Kashmir that a tender worth Rs 49 lakh has recently been allotted to a contractor to carry out the necessary repairs until a permanent solution is made. He said that repair work on the road will be carried out soon.

Unchecked speeding tippers continue to pose threat to commuters in Srinagar

Two fatal road accidents within 48 hours, including one involving a speeding tipper at Bemina, have once again brought the menace of speeding heavy vehicles into focus, with commuters demanding stricter enforcement against tippers during evening and late-night hours, alongside sustained action against reckless driving by other motorists. On Tuesday evening, a scooty rider was killed after his two-wheeler collided with a tipper near Government Degree College Bemina. Police said the rider died on the spot from the deadly impact. The tragedy was followed by another fatal road accident on Thursday when 28-year-old research scholar Altaf Hussain Daded of Sangerwani, Pulwama, died after apparently losing control of his motorcycle and crashing into a shop at Shiraz Chowk in Khanyar. The back-to-back deaths have once again sparked concern over road safety and the need for stricter enforcement against dangerous driving. Residents said the Bemina accident has once again exposed the risks posed by speeding tippers, which continue to ply city roads after peak traffic hours despite repeated accidents and public complaints. Once evening sets in, many of these heavy vehicles move at alarming speeds. Smaller vehicles hardly get any space, and pedestrians are left frightened. Every day feels like a risk, said Irfan Bhat, a commuter from Bemina. Pedestrians said major roads in uptown Srinagar witness frequent movement of tippers and other heavy vehicles during evening and night hours, making daily commuting increasingly unsafe. We often step away from the roadside whenever these vehicles approach because many appear to be speeding. Drivers seldom slow down even in busy stretches. It only takes a moment for a tragedy to happen, said Shabir Ahmad, a pedestrian from Chanapora. Commuters alleged that apart from overspeeding, some heavy vehicles continue to operate with obscured or missing registration plates, making it difficult to identify offenders after accidents. People have been highlighting these violations for years. Some vehicles are seen with mud-covered number plates or plates that are barely visible. Enforcement should be consistent instead of being limited to a few days after a major accident, said Irfan Ahmad, a cab driver from Hyderpora. Greater Kashmir has, over the years, carried a series of reports highlighting concerns over speeding tippers, overloaded heavy vehicles and attempts by some drivers to conceal registration plates to evade enforcement. Previous incidents had also triggered public concern and demands for stricter regulation. Residents said the latest deaths also point to a broader problem of dangerous driving that extends beyond heavy vehicles. The Khanyar incident is equally tragic. Whether it is a tipper or a motorcycle, roads have become fatal. Authorities need to act firmly against rash driving, while parents must also ensure minors are not allowed to ride on public roads, said Mohammad Yaqoob, a resident of Downtown. Many commuters also called for stricter checks on underage driving, saying minors operating motorcycles and scooters have become a common sight in several city areas, putting both themselves and others at risk. A senior Traffic Police officer earlier said enforcement drives against speeding, dangerous driving and other violations are being regularly carried out across Srinagar. We regularly conduct drives against overspeeding and rash driving. Strict legal action is taken wherever violations are detected, and repeat offenders are dealt with firmly. Such enforcement will continue, the officer said. Residents, however, said enforcement against heavy vehicles should not remain limited to periodic drives following fatal accidents. They urged authorities to deploy more traffic personnel on routes frequently used by tippers during evening and late-night hours and maintain permanent surveillance to deter violations.

Handwara honours dedicated public servants, social contributors

Handwara, Sep 3: The Jammu and Kashmir Action Group Thursady organized a felicitation ceremony at Environmental Hall Handwara in north Kashmirs Kupwara district with an aim to honour government employees, educationists, authors, blood donors and social activists for their honesty, dedicated services and contributions to society. Speaking on the occasion, Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Action Group Mohammad Iqbal Dar said that the organisation felt to recognise individuals who have demonstrated honesty and commitment in their respective fields. Since corruption is increasing in society day by day, we wanted to promote honesty and that is why we organised todays programme. After thorough research, we identified officials who were felicitated for their dedication and honesty. The need of the hour is to promote honesty and dedication, which unfortunately is rarely witnessed in society, Dar said. Every government employee, as well as those working in the private sector, should perform their duties with honesty and sincerity, he added. Secretary of the Action Group Mir Firdous said that the programme was aimed at promoting goodness and encouraging people engaged in public service and welfare activities. Such a programme has been organised for the first time in North Kashmir to spread goodness in society. I am thankful to the volunteers who have always stood by us throughout the year in carrying out different welfare programmes, Mir added. International scholar and author of seven books, Dr Reyaz Towheedi, was also felicitated for his contribution to Urdu literature and the education sector. JK Action Group has been supporting needy people through various welfare initiatives, including financial assistance, marriage assistance for poor girls, free medicines for needy patients and educational support for deserving students, he added. Dr Towheedi also highlighted JK Action Group's initiative of providing suhoor to hundreds of attendants at Government Medical College Handwara during Ramadhan over the past two years. President Fruit Mandi Handwara Mohammad Amin was also honoured during the ceremony. He appreciated the JK Action Group for recognising individuals working with dedication and contributing to the welfare of society. Such initiatives will encourage more people to uphold honesty, dedication and a spirit of service in their professional and social lives, he added. A galaxy of intellectuals and achievers participated in the programme. At the culmination ceremony, cutting and tailoring trainees who have undergone six months training by JK Action Group were also provided certificates.

Lumpy Skin Disease outbreak sparks panic in Ganderbal

Ganderbal, Sep 03: A suspected outbreak of Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) has triggered widespread anxiety among livestock owners in central Kashmir's Ganderbal district, with over 350 cattle reportedly infected across several villages. Local residents in areas including Shallabugh and the broader Sherpathri belt claim that at least 20 cattle have succumbed to the highly contagious viral infection over recent days. The sudden spike in infections has raised immediate concerns for the livelihoods of local dairy farmers and prompted frantic calls for urgent government intervention. Livestock owners report seeing symptoms characteristic of the virus, including high fever, skin nodules, discharge from the eyes and nose, and severe loss of milk yield. Over 350 animals are affected in our area alone, and nearly 20 have already died, said Bilal Ahmad, a resident of Shallabugh. This is devastating for families who rely entirely on dairy farming for their daily income. Many animals were vaccinated during previous outbreaks, so we are deeply concerned about how this is spreading again and whether the vaccines are still effective. Affected farmers are demanding immediate financial relief and compensation from the administration to offset the sudden loss of valuable livestock. In response to the growing distress, officials from the Animal Husbandry Department confirmed that specialized veterinary teams have been mobilized to inspect the affected belts, assess the situation on the ground, and administer symptomatic care. Officials stated that the teams will verify the reported infection and mortality numbers while implementing strict containment measures, including isolation protocols, fogging, and vector-control guidance to stop the virus from spreading to neighboring villages.

KNS holds workshopfor correspondents from Kashmir, Jammu divisions

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. The workshop, as per a statement, 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. 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.

Stipend row turns into NMC, Supreme Court flashpoint

Srinagar, Sep 3:With MBBS and BDS interns across J&K refusing to report for duty since August 31 in protest of the delay in stipend-hike, hospitals here are grappling with a severe crunch of working hands. The sudden withdrawal has left senior faculty and resident doctors stretched thin. The core of the matter is the debate on ethical work-load and commensurate emoluments to interns in view of the Supreme Court guidelines. At GMC Srinagar, GMC Jammu, SKIMS Bemina, GMC Anantnag, GMC Baramulla and GMC Handwara and other institutions, interns typically form the first line of round-the-clock care. They form a significant proportion of the staff deputed in emergency rooms, managing wards, and staffing OPDs through the night. The withdrawal of services has significantly impacted emergency rooms, wards and outpatient departments, according to hospital officials. There is no single official headcount of interns currently undergoing the mandatory one-year Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) in J&K. It can be gauged from the 1100 MBBS seats that J&K had in the 2020-21 session. Since the batch now serving as interns, plus BDS graduates, the total would be running into several hundred to over a thousand young doctors. This is estimated to be the largest simultaneous intern walkouts. Interns say their stipend of roughly Rs 12,300, that has been broken down as Rs 400 a day, is inadequate to meet their basic needs and has remained unchanged for nearly seven years. Protesters have cited Odisha paying its interns Rs 44,319 a month, West Bengal paying Rs 43,099 and Assam Rs 35,000. In J&K a 2023-constituted committee had recommended raising the J&K stipend to around Rs 25,000. This was later cited in the 2026 Assembly session as Rs 26,300. However, apart from the recommendations and a file being stuck, no other communication regarding thei has been received from the government. J&K Health Minister Sakina Itoo recently called the demand justified and urged interns against striking. She expressed concern that the withdrawal of services could negatively impact patient care. The NMC, responding to a Union Health Ministry query on the stipend issue in February this year said its CRMI Regulations, 2021 already provide for payment of stipend to interns. The actual implementation and quantum are decided by respective states and UTs, the NMC said. This, it said, is based on their own financial capacity and budget provisions. Months later, in June 2026, it told the Supreme Court that non-payment persisted at only seven of 756 medical colleges nationwide. Hearing a batch of pleas, the apex court directed that year that Army College interns be paid Rs 25,000 a month from October 2023. In October 2025 the SC rebuked the Commission, observing that its conduct deserved to be deprecated since the stipend issue had been pending before the court for long. The matter remains under the court's active supervision. A nodal counsel has been appointed in June 2026 to compile a state-wise compliance chart. Under the CRMI Regulations, 2021, interns have a defined middle ground in hospital hierarchies, working under supervision throughout the internship. They are not permitted to practise independently. They may assist but cannot perform major procedures on their own. Thus J&K's interns could assist in OPDs, ward rounds, emergency-unit postings and night shifts. However, their shifts often stretches 24-36 hours. There also is compulsory rural postings, making their work demanding and exhaustive. While the government has reiterating that the revised stipend proposal is under process, the log-jam raises questions about ethical workload and stipend as per the guidelines and trends across the country.

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.

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.

Over 5,000 Dropbox Accounts Compromised In Targeted Breach

A security vulnerability involving Lenovo ID single sign-on authentication resulted in unauthorized access to approximately 5,000 Dropbox accounts. The cloud storage provider notified affected individuals by email, confirming that unauthorized activity was detected on impacted accounts between August 4 and August 21, 2026. The security breakdown occurred due to an email verification flaw within Lenovos account registration system. Attackers discovered they could create a fraudulent Lenovo ID using a targeted victims existing email address without proper identity confirmation. Because of a legacy authentication integration between the two platforms, Dropbox treated the newly created Lenovo ID as a verified login for the associated Dropbox profile. This oversight allowed the hacker to bypass standard credential prompts and directly hijack existing accounts simply by knowing the users primary email address. so dropbox got hacked (never had a Lenovo account, haven't been to UK) pic.twitter.com/UoYRaJFuEC yoni | parser.eth (@yonilevy) August 31, 2026 The incident drew sharp criticism from cybersecurity observers, who highlighted the fundamental flaw of permitting third-party login linking to pre-existing user accounts without demanding proof of prior password ownership. The breach raised immediate privacy concerns given that Dropbox users routinely host personal documents, financial data, and sensitive corporate files on the platform. Despite the severity of the authentication oversight, the impact remained relatively isolated. Reports indicate that around 5,000 accounts were accessed, none of which had enabled multi-factor authentication (MFA) . The presence of two-factor verification successfully prevented account takeovers against users who had configured it. In response, Lenovo characterized the vulnerability as an issue tied to a legacy integration , stating that both organizations collaborated to resolve the underlying authentication process. To remediate the threat, Dropbox took immediate containment actions: Terminated and expired all active sessions that were authenticated via Lenovo IDs Completely severed the account integration link connecting Lenovo profiles to Dropbox Mandated direct password verification, preventing any Lenovo ID sign-in without a primary Dropbox password Dropbox additionally noted in customer notices that internal access logs showed no conclusive evidence that stored user files were downloaded or viewed during the intrusions.

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. The Eufy S2 Max Robot Lawn Mower is scheduled to release in the European market in May 2027 . Official launch timing and retail pricing for the United States have not yet been determined.
