8 Days after Nepal floods: A brothers search for his missing brother

Eight days after the devastating Bhotekoshi-Trishuli floods in Nepals Rasuwa district, rescue teams continue to battle mud, floodwater and debris while searching for workers trapped inside tunnels of the Upper Trishuli-1 hydropower project. Amid the rescue operation, families are still searching for their missing loved ones. Rishi travelled from Nepals Kavre district to Rasuwa in search of his brother, Ang Thung Tamang, a truck driver who went missing after the flash flood on August 26. The last time Ang Thung spoke to his family was at around 8:10 am, when he was near Syaphru. Soon after, his phone was switched off. His family searched hospitals in Kathmandu, Battar and Dhunche but found no information. With no answers, Rishi began searching for his brother himself, eventually reaching Syaphru in Rasuwa. This is the story of a family caught between hope, uncertainty and the search for answers.

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.

Dr. Mohammad Momin Khan, Incharge AIMSA, J&K said, The interns have already waited for a long time. We want a clear and concrete commitment from the government rather than another assurance.

Medical Interns' demands genuine, process already initiated: Sakina Itoo

Srinagar, Sep 04 : Jammu and Kashmir Health Minister Sakina Itoo on Friday asserted that the internship demands of striking medicos are genuine and the process to address them was initiated long back, while hitting out at the opposition for false sympathy and politicising the issue. Speaking to news agency Kashmir News Service (KNS) minister Itoo said the file pertaining to the interns' demands is with the finance department and the government is working on it. The children met me too. I told them that your demand is genuine. We are helping you in this. You don't need to go on strike, she said. Taking a swipe at the opposition parties for holding candlelight vigils in support of the agitating doctors, she said, They are showing false sympathy. When they were in power, they couldn't increase their salary by 5 paise. Today they are making hollow claims. When they had power, tell me what they have done for the interns. If they have done something, they should bring it forward, the minister added. They have been a failure for 15 years. We have been in the government for 2 years. I want to ask them to give an answer for 15 years. Where did they get 2 crore accounts? Where did they get jobs? Where did they provide electricity? Where did they provide water? she questioned. Reiterating the National Conference's commitment to the restoration of statehood, the minister said the party would continue peaceful protests for the rights snatched from Jammu and Kashmir. We will continue to fight for the rights which were snatched from us. This is the voice of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, she said, referring to the recent protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Earlier in the day, minister Itoo visited a facility run by noted social worker and Padma Shri awardee Javed Ahmad Tak and lauded his contribution towards specially-abled children. I was really happy to sit with these children. The team of Javed Tak is really commendable, she said, recalling the foundation's inception during the tenure of then Governor N N Vohra. I did not believe that this institution would ever be established. But today, when I see how much work he has done, how well he has built the building... he has set such good facilities for them. This is a very big contribution of his, Itoo said. She assured that the government would extend all possible support to the institution through the education and social welfare departments. We will definitely try to help you. Even if we talk about smart classes, we will definitely try to help you. Apart from that, if they identify children in nutrition, the social welfare department already helps in the ICDS sector, she said. The minister also advised the institution to apply for grant-in-aid from the social welfare department to facilitate better education for the children. (KNS)

The meeting was also attended by Dr. Mohammad Fathali, Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to India, and Dr. Abdul Majid Hakeem Ilahi, Representative of the Supreme Leader of Iran in India. During the interaction, Molvi Imran Ansari conveyed his respect for the people of Iran and remembered the martyrs of Iran, including Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei, as well as the innocent victims of the tragic Minab school incident, particularly the children. He offered prayers for the departed and expressed solidarity with their families. Speaking about Kashmirs historic relationship with Iran, Molvi Imran Ansari said that the connection between the two societies goes back centuries and is deeply rooted in civilization rather than politics alone. Persian language and literature, Islamic scholarship, poetry, architecture, art and traditional crafts have all played an important role in shaping Kashmirs cultural and intellectual heritage. For generations, scholars and ideas travelled between these regions, creating a relationship of faith, knowledge and mutual respect. Imran Ansari also spoke about the historic relationship between India and Iran, describing the two countries as ancient civilizations connected through centuries of cultural exchange, trade and people-to-people relations. He said that these historic ties remain a strong foundation for an even more meaningful partnership in the modern era. He expressed hope that the renewed engagement between India and Iran would open a new chapter in bilateral relations, particularly in the fields of trade, connectivity, education, culture, science, technology and regional cooperation. He noted that the strengthening of contemporary relations between the two nations carries the potential to build upon their glorious shared past and create new opportunities for future generations. Molvi Imran Ansari further emphasized the importance of unity, education, compassion and peaceful dialogue in the present times. Referring to the teachings of Karbala, he said that its message of faith, courage, justice, patience and moral strength continues to guide humanity. The meeting reflected the longstanding bonds of respect and shared heritage between Kashmir and Iran and reaffirmed the importance of strengthening the historic friendship and growing partnership between India and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
