Budgam MC directs telecom firms to remove unused cables
Budgam, Sep 05 : The Municipal Council Budgam has directed all telecom and cable operators, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and other agencies involved in laying and maintaining fibre optic and cable networks to remove extra, unused, abandoned and loosely hanging wires from roads, electric and telecom poles, buildings and other public places within the municipal jurisdiction. In a notice issued by the Chief Executive Officer, Municipal Council Budgam, the concerned operators and agencies have been asked to undertake necessary removal and rectification work within 14 days from the date of issuance of the notice. The Municipal Council said it has observed a large number of unnecessary and unutilized fibre optic and cable wires hanging from poles and along roadsides at various locations. Besides creating an unsightly appearance, the improperly arranged cables are causing obstruction to public movement and may pose potential safety hazards. The MC Budgam has directed all concerned operators to remove extra, unused and abandoned cables from their respective network routes and properly arrange, bunch and secure all operational wires. The operators have also been asked to use suitable clamps, ties or other approved methods to ensure that cables remain tightly secured and do not hang loosely over roads, footpaths, public places or municipal infrastructure. The Council further directed the agencies to ensure that all operational cables are properly aligned and maintained so that they do not cause inconvenience, obstruction or any potential risk to the general public. The notice warned that failure to comply with the directions within the stipulated 14-day period would invite appropriate action under the applicable provisions of the Jammu and Kashmir Municipal Act, 2000, and other rules and by-laws in force. The Municipal Council said it may remove unauthorized, abandoned or improperly laid wires and cables at the risk and cost of the concerned agency or operator, without issuing any further notice. The MC Budgam urged all concerned stakeholders to take the matter seriously and ensure timely compliance, stating that the initiative is aimed at improving public safety, cleanliness and aesthetics, while ensuring the proper management of municipal infrastructure within Budgam town.

Kashmir leaves Kerala couple spellbound
Srinagar, Sep 5: A couple from Kerala, visiting Kashmir for the first time, expressed admiration for the Valleys breathtaking landscapes, warm hospitality and friendly people, saying their experience had exceeded their expectations. The couple, who arrived in Srinagar around three to four days ago, said they had been exploring different tourist destinations across Kashmir and were particularly impressed by the natural beauty of Gulmarg and the hospitality extended to them by locals. Speaking to Rising Kashmir, the 43-year-old visitor said it was his first visit to Kashmir, adding that he had long wanted to explore the Valley but could not do so during his student years. I am 43 years old, and this is the first time I am visiting Kashmir. I have a bit of a guilty feeling that I could not visit Kashmir earlier when I was studying, but now I am very glad that I finally got the opportunity, he said. Recalling their experience over the past few days, he said the couple had visited local places in and around Srinagar before spending an entire day in Gulmarg. We went to Gulmarg yesterday and spent the whole day there. It was a beautiful place. We are enjoying the scenery, taking photographs and making a lot of memories, he said. The visitor also praised Kashmiri cuisine, saying they had the opportunity to taste authentic local food during their stay. We had some good authentic Kashmiri food last night. It was really nice. The place is very beautiful, the food is good and the people are very nice, he said. The couple said they were also impressed by the behaviour of locals, particularly the friendly and understanding nature of people they encountered during their journey. Asked about their experience with local residents, the visitor said, I felt people here are very friendly. Even though the traffic can be very heavy and there can be blocks, people understand each other and there was no problem at all. I would say people here are friendlier than I expected, and that was really good. He said the couple had stayed at different accommodations during their trip and found the staff and people welcoming at every place they visited. We stayed in a few accommodations, but everywhere we went, people were very friendly and welcoming. Kashmiri people are really nice, he said. The visitor said much of what he had previously seen about Kashmir was through films and videos, but visiting the Valley in person had given him a completely different perspective. I had only seen Kashmiri people, the valleys and the beauty of Kashmir in movies, but this place is really beautiful and the people here are so friendly, he said. The couple also highlighted the potential for attracting more tourists from southern parts of the country, saying greater promotion through social media and other platforms could help people discover Kashmirs beauty. This is a very beautiful tourist place. To attract more tourists, there should perhaps be more advertisement and promotion through social media. Some people, particularly from the southern parts of India, may not know much about Kashmir or realise that it is such a beautiful place, he said. If that message and information reaches more people, it can attract more tourists and also generate good income for the state, he added. During their visit, the couple planned to explore more destinations, including Sonamarg and Zojila Pass, while making the most of their limited time in the Valley. The visitor said the trip had already filled their phones with photographs and videos, which they planned to share with their family after returning home. We have loaded our phones with memories. There are so many photographs and videos that we can share with our family, he said. The couple also urged Kashmiris to continue maintaining the same warmth and friendliness towards visitors. My message is simply to stay like thisvery friendly and welcoming, he said.

Molvi Imran Ansari Calls for Immediate Written Resolution of Medical Intern Stipend Issue
Srinagar, September 5 : In continuation of his tweet dated August 31, 2026, JKPC General Secretary and President of the All Jammu & Kashmir Shia Association, Molvi Imran Ansari, has once again raised the issue of MBBS and BDS medical interns in Jammu and Kashmir, stating that they are not asking for a favour but for fairness, dignity and fair support for the crucial services they provide to the healthcare system. In his latest post on X, Molvi Imran Ansari said that in June 2023, GO No. 538-JK(HME) recommended raising the MBBS and BDS intern stipend from the stagnant 2019 rate of Rs 12,300 to Rs 25,000. He added that in February 2026, the government confirmed on the floor of the Legislative Assembly that the enhancement proposal was under active process. Seven months later, as our young doctors strike across medical colleges in Jammu and Kashmir demanding parity with other states at Rs 30,000, the Health Minister has asked them to wait another 30 days without giving even a single line of written commitment, Ansari said. Questioning the governments commitment to youth empowerment, Molvi Imran Ansari asked whether this was the dignity and youth empowerment promised so grandly in the election manifesto or merely another slogan forgotten after voting day. If the government genuinely cares, why does the Omar Abdullah government need an entire month to resolve this issue? A clear and time-bound process can be initiated immediately. The Chief Ministers Office can issue the necessary directions, the matter can be expedited for financial concurrence, placed before the Cabinet for approval, and thereafter sent to the Lieutenant Governor for assent before the Government Order is issued, he said. Molvi Imran Ansari said there was no justification for continuing to keep young medical interns waiting while they work long and demanding hours on the frontline of Jammu and Kashmirs healthcare system. Our medical interns are not asking for charity. They are asking for fairness. Stop stalling young doctors who work exhausting hours with verbal sympathy alone. Give them a clear, time-bound written commitment and notify the order without further delay, he added.
