NC Betrayed People Again: AIP

RK News Service Srinagar, May 17: Awami Ittehad Party on Saturday held a workers convention in Beerwah constituency, where party leaders criticised the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference and demanded the inclusion of alcohol under the ongoing anti-drug campaign in Jammu and Kashmir. The convention, held at Sail Beerwah, was presided over by AIP General Secretary and Beerwah constituency in-charge Nazir Ahmad Khan and attended by party workers and delegates from the area. Addressing the gathering, Nazir Ahmad Khan alleged that the National Conference had once again betrayed the people and said the public should question why the same political parties continued to return to power despite widespread dissatisfaction. He said the people of Jammu and Kashmir deserved transparent and accountable leadership and urged voters to bring change through their political choices. Referring to the recent Rathsun incident, Khan expressed concern over the impact of restrictions on local tractor owners and labourers dependent on the Sukhnag stream for livelihood. He urged the administration to adopt a balanced approach that protects both the environment and the economic interests of local residents. The AIP leader also welcomed the administrations anti-drug campaign and appealed to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to include alcohol in the Nasha Mukt Abhiyan. He said alcohol consumption was contributing to social degradation and should also be addressed as part of the anti-addiction drive. Khan further demanded the release of AIP president and MP Engineer Rashid, saying he had remained committed to public interests despite being in jail. He also criticised the delimitation process, calling it politically motivated, and announced that AIP would intensify its grassroots outreach across Beerwah constituency in the coming days.

Congress Will Continue Fight for Restoration of Statehood: Karra

RK News Service Kupwara, May 17: Tariq Hameed Karra on Saturday said the Indian National Congress would continue its struggle for restoration of full statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, accusing the Centre of adopting insensitive and unresponsive policies towards the people of the Union Territory. Karra made the remarks while addressing a day-long political convention of party workers in the border area of Lolab in north Kashmirs Kupwara district. He said the Centres decision to downgrade the erstwhile state into two Union Territories after the abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A had hurt the sentiments and rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The Congress party will continue to fight vigorously for the protection of peoples rights and restoration of complete statehood to J&K, Karra said, adding that the partys Hamari Riyasat Hamara Haq campaign would continue until statehood is restored. The JKPCC president alleged that Jammu and Kashmir was facing economic and developmental challenges, including rising unemployment, after the constitutional changes of August 2019. He also stressed the importance of strengthening the party at the grassroots level and asked party workers to actively participate in the second phase of the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan (SSA). Leader of Congress Legislature Party Ghulam Ahmad Mir, who also addressed the convention, said Congress had played a major role in nation-building and accused the BJP-led government of misleading people on issues of development and employment. Mir alleged that people across the country were facing rising inflation, taxes and unemployment, while genuine public concerns remained unaddressed. MLA Irfan Hafeez Lone said development and public welfare had always remained the priority of the Congress party and urged workers to continue outreach efforts at the grassroots level. Several senior Congress leaders and workers from Kupwara district attended the convention.

Mirwaiz Urges Revival of Mosques as Centres of Social Reform

Says places of worship must guide society towards moral revival and protection of values RK News Service Srinagar, May 17: Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Sunday said mosques, khanqahs and imambaras should play a greater role in guiding society and addressing growing moral, social and cultural challenges confronting the people. Addressing a Seerat Conference organised by Idarah Auqaf Gousia at Sarai Bala in Amira Kadal, the Mirwaiz said religious institutions have historically served not only as places of worship but also as centres of learning, reform and social transformation. He said issues such as moral decline, domestic discord, increasing materialism and weakening social bonds required collective introspection and sustained engagement from society. Our mosques, khanqahs and imambaras must become centres for initiating positive change and reform within society. They should guide the younger generation, spread awareness, strengthen moral values and help address the problems affecting our people, he said. Mirwaiz added that Kashmirs spiritual institutions had long promoted values of coexistence, tolerance and social responsibility and stressed the need to preserve the regions religious identity, culture, language and spiritual heritage. Referring to the teachings of the Holy Prophet (SAW), he said Seerat-un-Nabi (SAW) should not remain confined to speeches and gatherings but must be reflected in individual conduct and collective social behaviour. He said the Prophet (SAW) established a society based on justice, compassion, honesty and service to humanity, and urged people to follow those principles in contemporary life.

Staff Shortage Hits Trals Chandrigam Health Centre

Younus Rashid Pulwama, May 17: Residents of Chandrigam village in Tral have alleged that the New Type Primary Health Centre (NTPHC) Chandrigam is functioning without adequate staff and basic healthcare facilities, causing inconvenience to patients. Locals said the health facility was upgraded to an NTPHC in 2014, but no new building was constructed and no additional staff was deployed as required for such a facility. A representation submitted by the Village Welfare Committee Chandrigam to the Block Medical Officer (BMO) Tral stated that the centre has been functioning without a pharmacist since the retirement of the previously posted official in April 2025. The committee also alleged that although a doctor is officially posted at the centre, the doctor has been directed to perform duties elsewhere, affecting healthcare delivery at the facility. They upgraded the facility to an NTPHC in 2014, but no new building was constructed and no staff as required for an NTPHC was deployed here, alleged Aga Ayash, a local resident. He said a pharmacist had been working at the centre until his retirement last year, after which no replacement was posted. By name it is an NTPHC, but in reality it functions merely as an immunization centre. Hardly any facility is available here and no concrete action has been taken for our convenience. We, the residents, continue to suffer due to the lack of healthcare services, he added. Locals urged the government and health authorities to strengthen the facility and ensure adequate staff for the convenience of the public. Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Pulwama Dr Tahmeena Jameel said the local BMO has all details regarding the facility. However, she said the department is facing a shortage of pharmacists due to retirements. Pharmacists who are retiring, we cannot do anything with that. There is a dearth of pharmacists and the hospital may be functional with MTS and FMPHW staff, she said. She added that the NTPHC does not have any sanctioned post for a general physician. NTPHC doesnt have any post for general physician and is a sub-centre type facility mostly meant for immunization and first aid, she added.

International Museum Day:Uri Museum Showcases Kashmir Heritage

Idrees Bukhtiyar Srinagar, May 17: As International Museum Day is observed on May 18, the Army is drawing attention to a unique museum established at the historic Kaman Post along the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri offering visitors a rare glimpse into the rich history, culture and traditions of Kashmir. Situated near Aman Setu (Peace Bridge) at the last post on the LoC in Kashmir, the museum has emerged as a major attraction for tourists and history enthusiasts alike. Showcasing an extensive collection of vintage photographs, antique weapons, traditional household items and centuries-old artifacts, the museum reflects the diverse cultural heritage of the region, particularly of the Pahari and Gujjar communities. The museum takes visitors on a journey through Kashmirs past, highlighting the customs, traditions and lifestyles that once shaped life in the border areas. Among the notable exhibits is an 83-year-old Chamre Ka Bag (leather bag), historically used by village heads to collect Lagaan (revenue) during the Maharajas rule. Another prized artifact is an 86-year-old Churra, a traditional weapon once used for hunting and self-defence in remote mountainous areas. One of the major attractions of the museum is an 86-year-old wooden Charkha, reminiscent of the Gandhian era, which was traditionally used for spinning cotton into yarn. The museum also houses ancient utensils, earthen pots and traditional household items that were once an inseparable part of Kashmiri life. Adding to the historical significance is an iron chair believed to be over a century old, which was once used by village heads while conducting local court proceedings. An Army official said the museum was initially located in Uri town but was shifted to Kaman Post three years ago after the Army declared the area a tourist destination to promote border tourism and preserve the cultural legacy of the region. The idea behind shifting the museum to Kaman Post was to make it more accessible to visitors and to showcase the rich cultural and historical heritage of Kashmir at one of the most significant locations along the LoC. The response from tourists has been encouraging, the official said. The official added that the museum not only serves as a repository of historical artifacts but also acts as a bridge connecting people with the regions centuries-old traditions and way of life. A local tourist guide at Kaman Post said the growing popularity of the spot and the museum has significantly boosted border tourism in the region. Earlier, very few tourists would visit these border areas, but now people are eager to see Kaman Post and the museum. Visitors are taking keen interest in the history and culture of Uri. This is creating livelihood opportunities for local guides, transporters and small businesses, the guide said. With increasing tourist footfall at Kaman Post, the museum is steadily becoming an important cultural landmark in Uri, especially for those keen to explore the lesser-known historical narratives of Kashmir.
