She could have built a research career in the US, instead, she stayed back to build a drug for millions living with vitiligo

Dr Parul Ganju chose to forgo a US research opportunity to focus on developing a treatment for vitiligo after witnessing its profound impact on patients. In 2016, she co-founded Ahammune Biosciences, where the lead drug candidate, AB1001, targets the disease's underlying immune pathway rather than broadly suppressing immunity. Now in Phase 2 clinical trials, the investigational therapy reflects her commitment to translating scientific research into potential treatments that could improve millions of lives.

Mikel Merino's late goal sends Spain to quarterfinals and ends Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup career

Arlington, Jul 07: Mikel Merino was still on the bench in the final minutes of regulation, with Spain coach Luis de la Fuente worried about hanging on to his substitutes as long as possible because of looming extra time. The Arsenal forward made all that fretting moot. Merino scored in the first minute of second-half stoppage time, and Spain beat Portugal 1-0 on Monday to end the World Cup career of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. Merino had just been knocked down, and a foul was called. While Portugal's Bernardo Silva argued, Merino played the ball back in, ran toward the goal and easily beat goalkeeper Diogo Costa after a series of passes capped by Ferran Torres' nifty ball through the middle. He's one of the best in his position worldwide, and he has given us a fantastic result and a fantastic goal, de la Fuente said through a translator. I want to express the importance of substitutes that came in later in the game. Not just today, but the contribution in other games has been enormous. Spain, which has a 35-game unbeaten streak, advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time since winning its only World Cup title in 2010. La Roja will play Belgium, a 4-1 winner over the United States, on Friday in Inglewood, California. Ronaldo was trying to get Portugal to the quarterfinals in a second consecutive tournament for the first time. Instead, the career on soccer's biggest stage is over for the all-time leader in international goals (146) and appearances (233). Merino didn't enter until the 85th minute, and his heads-up play showed some of the versatility that helped Arsenal win its first Premier League title in more than 20 years this spring. The World Cup was in doubt for Merino, who turned 30 during the tournament, after right foot surgery cut short his Arsenal season. In the biggest moment of the year for Spain, there he was with fresh legs, finishing with his left foot into the left corner of the net. After emerging from a group hug with his teammates, Merino made a circle around the flag in a corner before letting out a guttural scream while clenching both fists. That's how his father, Miguel Merino, celebrated more than three decades ago during his club career in Spain. And his son first emulated it after a late goal to beat host Germany to send Spain to the semifinals of the European championship two years ago. This was Mikel Merino's first World Cup goal, and 11th for the national team. What better way to celebrate, Merino said. You remember all the good and the bad, and there have been difficult moments for me this year. The latest meeting of Iberian Peninsula rivals that first played in a friendly in Madrid 105 years ago was quite the contrast to their most recent World Cup match. It was eight years ago that Ronaldo had his only World Cup hat trick in a 3-3 draw with Spain in a group stage opener that is considered one of the tournament's best games. The 41-year-old superstar scored three times in this tournament, but didn't have many chances against Spain's Unai Simn, who extended his World Cup record to 609 minutes without conceding a goal. Spain became the first team to record six straight shutouts at the World Cup. The best chance was Ronaldo's nifty backward kick in the 37th minute when Joao Felix's header deflected off Simn's left shoulder and popped in the air to Ronaldo. He flicked the ball with his right foot, but it was soft enough to give Simn time to recover and make a leaping grab. I'll wake up tomorrow like I woke up today, with a clear conscience, said Ronaldo, who a day earlier had repeated his previous declaration that his sixth World Cup would be his last. I gave my best. I won three titles with Portugal. Before Cristiano, Portugal hadn't won any title. So, I'm happy. The biggest title that I won with the national team was in 2016 (European Championship), which for me had the same dimension as a World Cup, honestly. Portugal desperately pushed for an equalizer in the final eight minutes of stoppage time. Silva had a header that went just over the top of the net. The defensive struggle came just two days shy of a year since Portugal beat Spain in a riveting UEFA Nations League final that went to penalty kicks following a 2-2 draw. The other World Cup meeting was Spain's 1-0 victory also in the round of 16 when La Roja won the title in South Africa. It was a great match. Two superb teams, de la Fuente said. As we had said it, it was like an anticipated final. As it was expected, we had to suffer until the very end. Until Spain didn't have to suffer anymore thanks to its super sub.

Altaf Bukhari blames govt for reducing employment opportunities by outsourcing jobs in J&K

Srinagar, July 3: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Friday blamed the government for further increasing unemployment by outsourcing jobs and undermining democracy and democratic institutions by centralising power in the hands of one man at the helm of the government. He made these remarks while addressing workers' conventions at Khanabal and Achabal in south Kashmir today. During his address at the events, Altaf Bukhari said, On the one hand, the government promised the youth employment opportunities, but on the other hand, they snatched away those very opportunities through the outsourcing of jobs. Instead of reducing unemployment, they have only made it worse. He further alleged that the government had failed to launch any employment-generating projects even after being in power for more than twenty months. They have not initiated a single project so far to generate employment opportunities for the youth, he said. Bukhari also accused the ruling National Conference of undermining democratic institutions by centralising authority after assuming office. In a democracy, elections are meant to empower the people. However, after coming to power, the National Conference concentrated authority in the hands of a single individual. This has weakened grassroots democracy and democratic institutions, he said. He further alleged that democratic values had been replaced by a culture of flattery. Today, we have the rule of flatterers rather than the rule of democratic principles. Apni Party will continue its struggle against such undemocratic practices and work to ensure that the benefits of democracy reach the people. We remain committed to strengthening grassroots democratic institutions and restoring power to the people, Bukhari added. He strongly criticised the government over what he described as its failure to provide effective governance and its inability to fulfil the promises it made during the election campaign. He said, he government has failed to deliver on the commitments it made to the people, who had given it a massive mandate after believing its assurances and election promises. He said, One of the promises the ruling NC made to the people during the 2024 election campaign was that it would restore the abrogated Article 370. Among its other promises was to provide one lakh jobs for unemployed youth, with an assurance that these jobs would be given soon after it assumes office. He added, Now, more than 20 months later, we hear that the government has outsourced thousands of jobs, which amounts to a grave injustice to unemployed youth. There is a long list of promises that the NC made only to lure voters and secure their votes, but those promises have remained unfulfilled. Addressing the Achabal gathering, Bukhari assured party workers that the Apni Party would soon launch a public outreach campaign in the area to strengthen its presence and expand its grassroots base. At Khanabal, he expressed gratitude to the party's workers for remaining steadfast and loyal through the party's ups and downs since its establishment. Urging people to get themselves rid of the traditional political parties, Bukhari said, What have these family-run parties given you, other than exploiting your mandate to build political empires for themselves? The people of South Kashmir entrusted all seven seats to the ruling NCCongress alliance, yet not a single representative from the region was considered worthy of a ministerial portfolio. This is how the leaders of these traditional parties reward the people and honour their mandate once they secure victory. He further said, The NC's victory in the elections was largely an accidental one, driven by the unique circumstances prevailing at the time. Many people believed the party would genuinely strive to restore the abrogated Article 370. They also trusted its promises of providing 200 units of free electricity, free gas cylinders, an additional ration quota, and several other welfare measures announced by NC leaders during their election campaign. But now this government stands completely exposed for its failure to provide effective governance and fulfill the promises it made to the people, he added. The party leaders who also addressed the workers' conventions held at Khanabal and Achabal included the party's General Secretary, Rafi Ahmad Mir; Additional General Secretary, Hilal Ahmad Shah; Chief Coordinator and District President of Kulgam, Abdul Majeed Padder; District President of Anantnag, Mufti Sarwar; and others. Besides these leaders, those who were present at both or either of the events included Provincial Secretary Kashmir, Nazir Ahmad Wani (Dilgami); Constituency In-charge, Anantnag West, Sheikh Muzaffar; Constituency In-charge, Shangus, M.K. Yogi; In-charge, Dooru, Bashir Ahmad Bragami; Hilal Ahmad Lone; Hafiza Jee; and others.

Health Jobs for Sale?

EOW chargesheet exposes a rotten recruitment culture The chargesheet filed by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) Kashmir in the Health Department recruitment scam is not just about four individuals allegedly gaming the system with forged degrees. It is an indictment of a recruitment culture that has, for far too long, allowed merit to be mocked and public faith to be abused. According to the Crime Branch, the accused managed to secure government appointments in the Health Department through fake and forged educational testimonials, slipping through a process supposedly overseen by the Services Selection Recruitment Board (SSRB). Their selections were later cancelled once the fraud came to light. That should worry every honest aspirant in Jammu and Kashmir: if forged documents can sail through a recruitment process until someone complains, what confidence can we have in the integrity of past or ongoing selections? Health is not an ordinary sector. When fraudsters occupy posts meant for qualified professionals, it is not just a matter of cheating the system; it is a direct attack on peoples lives. Every fake appointment means a deserving candidate was pushed out, and a crucial post was handed to someone who had no right, and perhaps no competence, to hold it. In a place already struggling with healthcare gaps, this is unforgivable. The EOWs move to file a chargesheet after a long-drawn investigation is welcome, but it also raises uncomfortable questions. How many such cases have gone undetected? How many forged certificates still lie buried in dusty recruitment files? How many jobs have been stolen from our youth who spent years preparing honestly for examinations? Cosmetic cancellations and routine advisories to the public to remain vigilant are not enough. The government must order a time-bound, independent audit of recruitments in sensitive departments like Health, Education and Social Welfare, starting with selections made over the last decade. Accountability cannot stop at the candidates alone; officials, board members and verifiers who failed or refused to detect blatant forgery must also face consequences. Unless the system is cleansed, case by case and file by file, every new recruitment drive will be greeted with suspicion and anger. For a generation of jobless youth already losing hope, this scandal is yet another reminder that in Jammu and Kashmir, the real test is not merit, but the ability of the system to protect it. That, not just one chargesheet, will decide whether public institutions can still be trusted.

BJP demands rollback of outsourced jobs

Asks Govt to restore transparent recruitment process Srinagar, June 30: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday demanded the immediate cancellation of nearly 24,000 outsourced posts in Jammu and Kashmir, accusing the National Conference (NC) government of failing to deliver on its promise of employment to the youth. Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in Srinagar, BJP spokespersons Manzoor Bhat and Danish Bhat alleged that instead of ensuring transparent and regular recruitment, the government has handed over thousands of vacancies to private outsourcing agencies, thereby denying deserving candidates fair opportunities in public service. The party claimed that young aspirants spend years preparing for competitive examinations with the hope of securing stable government jobs, and that the move towards large-scale outsourcing has undermined their aspirations. The BJP urged the NC government to withdraw the outsourcing process and initiate a transparent, merit-based recruitment system for the advertised posts, reiterating its demand for accountability in public hiring practices.
