AIP seeks time-bound probe into Brari Nambal landfilling

Srinagar, Sep 15: Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) chief spokesperson Inam Un Nabi on Tuesday sought a time-bound inquiry into reports of alleged landfilling at Brari Nambal in Srinagar, questioning how the activity could continue for around 15 days without timely intervention. Un Nabi said the issue was not limited to removing an alleged encroachment after it became visible, but also required an examination of the monitoring and enforcement mechanism. If reports of landfilling continuing for around 15 days are correct, the administration must explain who was responsible for monitoring the site and why preventive action was not taken earlier, he said. He sought a factual report on the ownership and status of the affected land, whether any permission or approval had been granted for filling the site and which agency was responsible for its protection. The AIP also asked authorities to identify the source of the filling material and the persons or entities involved, besides examining whether any commercial activity was subsequently started on the filled portion. Un Nabi urged the government to make relevant records public and fix responsibility wherever negligence or violation of law was established. He also called for an assessment of the impact of the alleged activity on the site's ecological and drainage characteristics and restoration, if required, in accordance with law and expert recommendations. Brari Nambal is too important to be treated as an issue of routine encroachment. Prevention, accountability and restoration must go together, he said.

Gool power network gets a boost

Sangaldan, Sep 15: Banihal-Gool MLA Sajjad Shaheen on Tuesday dedicated the augmented Receiving Station at Sangaldan to the public, with its capacity increased from 3.15 MVA to 6.30 MVA. The augmentation is expected to reduce overloading, minimise power interruptions and improve the reliability and quality of electricity supply in Sangaldan and adjoining areas. Shaheen said reliable electricity was a basic necessity, particularly for people living in remote and mountainous areas, and assured that strengthening power infrastructure would remain a priority in the constituency. The augmentation of the Sangaldan Receiving Station will help address overloading and existing supply constraints and provide considerable relief to consumers, he said. With the latest augmentation, three receiving stations in the Banihal-Gool constituency have been strengthened as part of efforts to upgrade the power distribution network. During his two-day visit to Gool, Shaheen also inaugurated the BDO Office-cum-BDC Building at Sangaldan, constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 45 lakh. He said the facility would strengthen administrative infrastructure and improve delivery of public services. He also inaugurated the BDO Office Building at Dharam and said it would improve access to government services for people in the area. The MLA later held a public darbar at Sangaldan, where residents raised various grievances and demands. Officers from different departments attended the interaction, and Shaheen directed them to ensure timely redressal of the issues. At Gool, he addressed a meeting of National Conference workers and urged party workers to maintain close contact with people and strengthen the organisation at the grassroots. Several political workers associated with the PDP also joined the National Conference on the occasion. Shaheen welcomed them into the party fold. He also reviewed local development issues during interactions with residents and party workers in Gool, Sangaldan and Dharam, and said such visits helped assess ongoing works and understand public concerns. Shaheen said power infrastructure would continue to be upgraded in a phased manner to ensure stable electricity supply, particularly during periods of peak demand.

BJP slams Pakistan over Azhar fugitive claim

Srinagar, Sep 15: Senior BJP leader and J&K BJP spokesman Altaf Thakur on Tuesday termed Pakistans latest move to list Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar among its most-wanted terrorists a big fraud, alleging that Islamabad was attempting to evade accountability over his presence in the country. Thakur said Azhar had not fled Pakistan and alleged that he continued to remain there under the protection of the establishment. Pakistans attempt to portray Masood Azhar as a fugitive is nothing but a big fraud and an exercise in deception, Thakur said, demanding that Islamabad hand over the JeM chief to India, where he is wanted in connection with major terror cases. His remarks came after Pakistan listed Azhar among its most-wanted terrorists and increased the reward for information leading to his arrest. Thakur questioned the timing of the move, saying it appeared to have come amid international scrutiny of Pakistans record on terrorism and ahead of an upcoming FATF review. He also referred to the BRICS Summit hosted by India, saying the New Delhi Declarations condemnation of the Pahalgam terror attack and reiteration of zero tolerance towards terrorism had increased international pressure on Pakistan. Thakur said Pakistan must demonstrate its commitment through concrete action rather than announcements, including by dismantling terror infrastructure and acting against internationally designated terrorists. If Pakistan really wants to prove that it has changed, let it act against Masood Azhar and other internationally designated terrorists, he said. He said India would continue to press for accountability of those involved in terrorism and work with the international community to counter terror financing, recruitment networks and safe havens.

Srinagar, Sep 15: Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather on Tuesday reviewed arrangements for the smooth conduct of the Assemblys Autumn Session, scheduled to begin on September 21 in Srinagar. The Speaker convened a meeting with senior officers from the General Administration Department, Law, Information Technology, security, traffic, health, hospitality and protocol, estates, Srinagar Municipal Corporation and other departments. Rather stressed the need for close coordination, advance planning and administrative preparedness, describing the forthcoming session as short but carrying major responsibility. He directed authorities to ensure comprehensive security arrangements at the Assembly Secretariat and MLA Hostel, with effective coordination among security and administrative agencies. On legislative business, the Speaker asked the GAD to ensure timely submission of replies to Assembly questions and directed departments to designate nodal officers for coordination with the Assembly Secretariat. He also reviewed arrangements for transportation and parking and directed authorities to minimise inconvenience to the public. Government bills, he said, should be submitted to the Assembly Secretariat well in advance for timely processing and scheduling. The meeting was informed about the implementation of the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) on a hybrid model. The IT Department was directed to ensure reliable internet connectivity and technical support throughout the session. Rather also directed authorities to ensure effective traffic management around the Assembly premises and uninterrupted water and power supply. The SMC was asked to maintain sanitation and cleanliness around the Assembly complex and MLA Hostel. The Health and AYUSH departments were directed to make adequate medical facilities available for members, staff and visitors, while the Information Department was asked to ensure arrangements for media coverage of the proceedings.

BJP turns up heat on NC govt over short Assembly session

Srinagar, Sept 15: Jammu and Kashmir unit of BJP on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on the National Conference-led government over the curtailed Assembly session, with Leader of Opposition Sunil Sharma demanding that the House be convened for at least a month to provide legislators adequate time to raise and debate issues confronting the people. Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters in Jammu, Sharma said people had high expectations from the elected government and the Legislative Assembly remained the primary institutional platform for representatives to voice public concerns. Unfortunately, the government of Jammu and Kashmir has almost completely lost its legislative accountability. The Assembly has effectively been reduced to a joke, Sharma said. The 10-day Autumn Session of the J&K Assembly is scheduled to begin in Srinagar on September 21 and continue till September 30. As per the provisional calendar, the House will have seven sittings, with September 23, 26 and 27 marked as non-sitting days. Sharma objected to the limited number of sittings, saying that after accounting for the non-sitting days, legislators would have only a handful of substantive days to raise matters of public importance. By restricting the session to effectively only five substantive sittings, the government has made a mockery of the people of JK and their expectations, he said. The BJP leader also questioned the role of Speaker Abdul Rahim Rather, saying the Speakers chair was expected to remain impartial and ensure the proper functioning and dignity of the House. Sharma urged the Speaker to reconsider the schedule and extend the session to around 30 days, arguing that the Assembly was the only institutional forum available to elected representatives to directly raise people's grievances with the government. He also questioned the functioning of the Business Advisory Committee (BAC), which, he said, should facilitate discussion among political parties on the legislative business to be taken up during the session. Sharma questioned the purpose of the all-party meeting called by the Speaker for September 17, alleging that the dates, calendar and business of the session had already been decided. The attempt to hold a meeting on September 17 at 2 pm for just 10 minutes, merely to have tea and complete a formality, is deeply regrettable, he said. Questioning the Speaker's understanding of legislative procedure, Sharma asked whether the importance and dignity of the BAC and the Assembly were being adequately respected. The LoP also alleged that routine governance was not visible on the ground and claimed there was inadequate public outreach by ministers. For the past two years, there is hardly any sign of what can be called routine governance on the ground. There is no public outreach by the ministers, he alleged. Sharma further alleged that corruption had become prevalent from the level of officials to ministers, claiming that people were reluctant to visit government offices because of the burden of corruption. He said the decision to limit the Assembly session to seven sittings reflected what he termed the government's non-performance, arrogance and ego. The BJP Legislature Party, Sharma said, had recently undertaken public interactions at district headquarters to understand people's concerns. He claimed BJP legislators had met people across almost all district headquarters in the Jammu region and gathered issues that would be raised during the upcoming Assembly session. A marathon meeting was subsequently held to compile and finalise the issues identified during these interactions, he said. Sharma said the BJP Legislature Party had reached a consensus to raise the concerns of people who were suffering, deprived, exploited and victims during the forthcoming session.
