Threats to Kashmiri Pandits won't scare them: Ashok Koul

Shopian, Aug 24: Dismissing recent threat letters targeting Kashmiri Pandits, BJP General Secretary (Organisation) Ashok Koul on Monday asserted that the community and the party remain unfazed by such intimidation tactics. Such threats will continue, but we are not concerned by them. Personally, I receive threats every 15 days, and there is nothing to fear. We completely reject and oppose them, Koul told Rising Kashmir on the sidelines of his visit to Shopian. Referring to the latest threat letter, Koul said: They hold the late Jagmohan Ji responsible for the migration, which only reflects their own distorted mindset and failure. We firmly believe our neighbouring country orchestrated the entire plan to drive Kashmiri Pandits out of the Valley by using a handful of local elements with money and weapons, he said adding Those days are gone when terrorists enjoyed patronage from governments and leaders. Today, our security forces are fully deployed, and terrorists are being eliminated one by one. Koul was in Shopian to offer prayers at the historic Kapal Mochan Ram Temple during the ongoing three-day yatra. He interacted with devotees and Kashmiri Pandits who had arrived from various parts of the country. He commended the local administration for making elaborate arrangements and praised the Jammu and Kashmir Police for deploying adequate security to ensure the smooth conduct of the pilgrimage. Later, addressing party workers at the Circuit House, Koul launched a scathing attack on the National Conference-led administration, alleging that the Omar Abdullah government has failed to provide relief to the people. Consumers using just two bulbs are being billed between 4,000 and 5,000. A 6.8% tariff hike is completely unacceptable, and the BJP will launch an agitation to demand an immediate rollback, he stated. Koul also questioned the delay in holding Panchayat elections and demanded an Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) probe into the outsourcing of 24,000 government jobs. The government admitted on the floor of the Assembly that 24,000 posts were filled through outsourcing. Lists were allegedly sought from MLAs and relatives, bypassing common candidates. Mandatory reservations for SC, ST, and OBC categories were completely ignored. The ACB must investigate the entire matter, he demanded.

PDF blames successive govts for J&K hydropower sellout

Srinagar, Aug 24: President of the Peoples Democratic Front (PDF) and former Cabinet Minister Hakeem Mohammad Yaseen on Monday strongly opposed the recently approved hike in electricity tariffs in Jammu and Kashmir, demanding its immediate withdrawal and asking the government to honour its electoral commitment of providing 200 units of free electricity. In a statement, Yaseen said the hike would further burden ordinary consumers already facing economic difficulties, unemployment and rising household expenses. Yaseen said successive political parties, including the ruling Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC), must share responsibility for what he described as the failure to secure adequate benefits for the people of J&K from the region's water and hydropower resources. Jammu and Kashmir was blessed by nature with abundant water resources, yet our people continue to face power shortages and are now being asked to pay more for electricity. Successive governments have been in power, but no serious decision was taken to ensure that the people of J&K receive the rightful benefit from their own resources, he said. The PDF president alleged that political parties that have governed J&K over the years failed to protect the economic interests of the common people while allowing the region's hydropower potential to be utilised for projects benefiting the Centre. We are a resource-rich region, but our own people are being made to purchase electricity at higher rates. Those responsible for this situation should apologise to the people, Yaseen said. He also questioned the timing of the tariff revision, saying that the government should have taken into account the economic hardships faced by households, particularly amid unemployment and other pressing socioeconomic challenges. Yaseen urged Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to intervene and direct the concerned authorities to withdraw the tariff hike.

'Unjust & Unbearable': Congress slams Govt over power tariff hike

Srinagar, Aug 24: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee President Tariq Hameed Karra on Monday strongly opposed the government's recent hike in electricity unit rates, terming it unjust, burdensome and completely unbearable for the common people. Karra said that at a time when households are already struggling with rising prices and increasing economic pressures, the government should have provided relief to consumers rather than adding to their burden through higher electricity bills. People of J&K were expecting the government to announce relief and curtailment in electricity bills, not an increase in the per-unit tariff. For an ordinary household, every additional rupee on the electricity bill directly affects the family budget. This decision is insensitive to the economic hardships being faced by our people, Karra said. He demanded that the government immediately review and withdraw the tariff hike and introduce meaningful measures to reduce the electricity burden on domestic consumers, particularly economically weaker sections. The government must remember that electricity is not a luxury; it is an essential service. The people of J&K deserve affordable and reliable power, not ever-increasing bills. The Congress will stand firmly with the people and oppose every measure that places an unjustified financial burden on them, Karra said. He urged the J&K Government to reconsider the decision in the larger public interest and restore relief to consumers instead of making essential utilities increasingly unaffordable. The Congress chief's protest comes a day after Apni Party and PDP staged separate demonstrations against the 6.83 percent tariff hike, with opposition parties across the political spectrum uniting against the Omar Abdullah-led government's decision.

'People Feel Looted': Opposition unites against Govt's power tariff hike

Srinagar, Aug 24: Opposition parties in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday came out in unison against the government's decision to hike electricity tariffs, with Apni Party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) staging separate protests across Srinagar, demanding an immediate rollback of the 6.83 percent increase for 202627. Apni Party leaders and workers gathered at Press Colony, led by Provincial President Mohammad Ashraf Mir. Police prevented the protesters from taking out a procession, but they raised slogans against the government, denouncing the decision as anti-people. Meanwhile, PDP General Secretary Mohammad Khursheed Alam led a separate demonstration, joined by senior leaders including former Minister Asiya Naqash, Anjum Fazili, Iqbal Tramboo, and a large number of party workers. Addressing the media, Mir criticised the government for adding to the financial hardship of ordinary citizens. It is unfortunate that, despite being fully aware that people are already facing severe financial hardships due to growing unemployment, shrinking business opportunities and rising inflation, the government has chosen to increase power tariffs. This additional burden is simply not tolerable, Mir said. He also slammed the government for failing to fulfill its electoral promises. The ruling party had promised 200 units of free electricity and free gas cylinders to every household. Instead of keeping these promises, the government has now put an additional burden on the people, he added. PDP General Secretary Khursheed Alam echoed similar sentiments, saying people's trust in the government had been betrayed. People voted for this government with the hope of relief, but today they feel looted by rising tariffs and increasing costs. At a time when families are struggling with inflation and unemployment, increasing electricity tariffs is completely unjustified, Alam said. Former Minister Asiya Naqash said the tariff hike would disproportionately affect poor and middle-class families. Electricity is a basic necessity. This decision should be rolled back immediately, she demanded. PDP spokesperson Mohammad Iqbal Tramboo said the hike reflected the government's failure to address consumers' concerns, while party leader Arif Laigroo called for improving power supply and reducing wastage instead of imposing additional burdens.

Three-hour jam disrupts Srinagar-Baramulla traffic

Srinagar, Aug 24: An abrupt traffic jam on Monday morning brought traffic movement to a standstill along the Srinagar-Baramulla road, with commuters and locals facing considerable inconvenience for nearly three hours between Delina and Khawaja Bagh areas. The congestion led to long queues of vehicles on the busy stretch, disrupting the movement of public and private transport and leaving commuters stranded for hours. Locals and commuters said the traffic jam started unexpectedly during the morning hours, while the exact reason behind the sudden disruption remained unclear to them. Commuters also alleged that traffic police personnel were not available at the spot immediately after the congestion began. They said the delayed arrival of traffic police further aggravated the situation and resulted in traffic remaining unregulated for a considerable period. Traffic police personnel were not available when the jam started. They arrived much later, by which time vehicles had already been stuck for a long time, said Bashir Bhat, a commuter. The absence of immediate traffic management reportedly caused further inconvenience to commuters, with vehicles from both directions getting caught in the congestion and movement becoming increasingly difficult. The jam affected people travelling towards both Srinagar and Baramulla, including office-goers, students, public transport users and other commuters during the busy morning hours. Locals expressed concern over the lack of prompt traffic management on the busy stretch and urged the authorities to ensure that traffic police personnel are deployed promptly whenever congestion develops. They also called for better traffic regulation and timely communication with commuters to prevent such disruptions from turning into prolonged traffic jams.

Residents seek immediate restoration of Chadoora bridge

Budgam: Residents of several villages in the Chadoora and Charar-i-Sharief tehsils have urged the Government to expedite the restoration of the Chadoora Main Bridge, which has remained closed to traffic after being declared unsafe. The prolonged closure of the bridge has caused considerable inconvenience to residents, commuters and businesses in the adjoining areas, with people forced to use alternative routes to reach Chadoora, Charar-i-Sharief and parts of Pulwama and Shopian. Irfan Ahmad, a local resident of Chadoora, said the continued closure of the bridge had severely affected daily life in several villages. The Chadoora Main Bridge serves as a vital link between the Chadoora and Charar-i-Sharief Assembly constituencies and connects several important areas of Budgam, Pulwama and Shopian districts. It is an essential route for patients, ambulances, heavy vehicles, students, traders, government employees, fruit growers, farmers and daily commuters, he said. He added that the bridge also provides access to four Sub-District Hospitals, fire and police stations and other essential public services. The Government should start the restoration work and repair the bridge on an immediate basis. The bridge has remained closed for more than eight months, and people are facing tremendous difficulties, Ahmad said. Gulzar Ahmad, a student, said the bridge was among the main connectivity links between Chadoora, Charar-i-Sharief and adjoining areas of Pulwama district. Since the bridge was closed, traffic is being diverted through alternative routes, which takes much more time and causes inconvenience to commuters. We request the Government to undertake proper restoration work so that the bridge can be reopened for traffic at the earliest, he said. Residents said the closure had particularly affected students, employees, traders and people travelling for medical treatment and other essential purposes. Officials of the R&B Department could not be contacted for their comments when this report was filed by this reporter.
