Er Rashid returns to Tihar jail after interim bail
Srinagar, June 30: Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi on Tuesday said that Member of Parliament from Baramulla and AIP President Er Rashid returned to Tihar Jail after the expiry of his five-day interim bail granted by the Court from 25th June to 30th June to attend the Chahlum of his late father. According to reports, emotional scenes were witnessed at Er Rashid's Srinagar residence as family members, relatives and well-wishers bid him farewell with tears in their eyes before he left for New Delhi in compliance with the Delhi High Court's directions. Inam Un Nabi said Er Rashid has always respected the rule of law and every order of the judiciary. However, his prolonged incarceration continues to cause immense hardship to his family and deprives the people of the Baramulla Parliamentary Constituency of direct access to their elected representative.

CPI(M) targets BJP, seeks electoral reforms
New Delhi, June 27: The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has accused the BJP of weakening democratic institutions and using political defections to strengthen its parliamentary position, while announcing a nationwide campaign for electoral reforms. In a communique issued after its meeting held on June 2627, the CPI(M) alleged that the BJP was targeting opposition and regional parties through what it described as Operation Lotus to secure a two-thirds majority in Parliament. The party claimed such moves undermine democratic norms and weaken anti-defection safeguards. The Polit Bureau also criticised the Election Commission of India, alleging that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process had led to disenfranchisement of voters in several states. It announced plans to launch a broad campaign seeking greater transparency and accountability in the electoral process. On citizenship-related issues, CPI(M) objected to recent remarks concerning passports and citizenship verification, alleging that such developments could adversely affect sections of the population. The party demanded restoration of deleted electoral entries and clarification on the legal status of official identity documents. The party further criticised the conduct of national examinations, citing alleged irregularities in NEET, CBSE and CUET processes. It supported demands for reforms in examination systems and called for decentralisation in conducting tests. Raising corruption allegations, CPI(M) sought impartial investigations into reported financial irregularities linked to public institutions and government functionaries, and urged accountability at all levels. On international developments, the Polit Bureau expressed concern over tensions in West Asia despite the recent US-Iran understanding and urged the Government of India to reduce fuel prices and ensure adequate fertilizer supply. The party also announced that the Central Committee of CPI(M) will meet in New Delhi from July 11 to 13.

Our strength lies in our deep-rooted connection with the people. Every office bearer and worker must remain accessible and work with sincerity to address grievances. The National Conference has always stood with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and we must continue to strengthen that trust through dedicated public service, Sagar said.

Bishwanath Sinha takes charge as Kerala Chief Secretary
The 1992-batch IAS officer took over from A. Jayathilak, who retired as the State Chief Secretary
Jammu/Srinagar, June 30: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday demanded a CBI inquiry into the alleged outsourcing of around 25,000 government jobs in Jammu and Kashmir, accusing the National Conference-led government of running what it described as a recruitment scam marked by nepotism and backdoor appointments. Addressing reporters, BJP spokespersons Dr. Abhijeet Jasrotia, Zorawar Singh Jamwal, and Dr. Hari Dutt Shishu alleged that the government had diverted from its promise of large-scale employment by outsourcing posts to private contractors instead of following transparent recruitment through the Services Selection Board (SSRB). The leaders claimed that the move had resulted in favouritism and corruption, denying equal opportunities to deserving candidates and undermining merit-based selection. They also alleged that past recruitment practices under previous regimes had similarly been misused to accommodate select individuals. Dr. Jasrotia claimed that even professionals who had earlier left the region were now being accommodated in government jobs at the cost of those who had served during difficult periods, terming it an injustice to merit-based aspirants. Zorawar Singh Jamwal described the outsourcing of posts as institutionalised corruption, while Dr. Hari Dutt Shishu warned of agitation if the policy was not rolled back. He said youth aspirations were being compromised and accused successive governments of favouritism in public employment. The BJP leaders demanded immediate cancellation of the outsourcing policy, a comprehensive CBI investigation into all related appointments, and a review of recruitment processes to ensure transparency and merit-based selection in government jobs.
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.
Estimates panel flags delay in R&B projects
Gurez review flags delay in UT Capex works despite approvals Panel raises concern over low bidding, seeks timely completion, accountability Srinagar, June 30: The Committee on Estimates of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly has expressed serious concern over the slow pace and lackadaisical approach in the execution of development projects by the Roads & Buildings (R&B) Department across the Union Territory. Chairing a review meeting in Gurez, MLA Nazir Ahmad Khan (Gurezi) said several works sanctioned under the UT Capex Budget over the last two financial years have failed to progress with the required urgency, prompting concern from the Committee over delays in implementation. Legislators Ali Mohammad Dar, Javid Hassan Baig, Mushtaq Guroo, Irshad Rasool Kar, Sajad Shaheen, Sunil Bhardwaj besides Secretary JKLA Manoj Kumar Pandit, Secretary Law, Justice & Parliamentary Affairs Achal Sethi along with senior officers from Finance, PWD ( R&B) and PMGSY were present in the meeting. The Committee held detailed deliberations on the execution of development works sanctioned during the previous financial year. It also reviewed the status of various ongoing and pending projects across different districts and divisions, particularly those which have not been initiated despite the accord of Administrative Approval. Stressing the need for expeditious implementation, the Committee urged the departmental officers to accelerate the pace of work and ensure the completion of all ongoing projects within the shortest possible time so that the public is relieved of the inconvenience caused due to prolonged delays. The Committee also took serious note of the practice of awarding contracts at abnormally low rates, observing that such tenders often result in delays and non-completion of projects, thereby defeating the purpose of developmental initiatives. Emphasizing accountability and timely execution, the Committee directed the department to adopt appropriate measures to discourage non-serious contractors and ensure strict adherence to the prescribed timelines. It further called upon the department to strengthen the monitoring and enforcement mechanisms so that all sanctioned works are completed efficiently, maintaining the desired standards of quality and within the stipulated timeframe. The Committee reiterated its commitment to ensure transparency, accountability and the timely completion of public infrastructure projects in the larger interest of the people.
