AIP seeks swift relief for Beerwah flood-hit traders

Srinagar, July 26: Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi has called upon Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to immediately implement the assurances he made to the traders whose shops were destroyed after the devastating flash floods along the Sukhnag Nallah in Beerwah. Inam Un Nabi said that the affected traders have lost not only their shops but also their only source of livelihood. He stated that the Chief Minister's visit to the affected area had raised hopes among the victims, and those assurances must now be translated into immediate action. The government must not allow these promises to remain mere announcements. The affected traders deserve swift rehabilitation, fair compensation and a clear timeline for restoring their businesses. Delays will only deepen the economic and psychological distress of families already struggling to recover, he said. He demanded the immediate release of compensation, early completion of the assessment process, and allotment of suitable temporary commercial spaces until permanent rehabilitation is ensured. He also urged the government to formulate a comprehensive rehabilitation package that addresses both immediate relief and long-term livelihood restoration. Inam Un Nabi further stressed the need for permanent flood mitigation measures along the Sukhnag Nallah, including strengthening embankments, improving drainage infrastructure and conducting regular safety audits of vulnerable commercial structures to prevent such disasters in the future. Reaffirming Awami Itihaad Party's solidarity with the affected traders, Inam Un Nabi said the party stands firmly with them in their hour of crisis and will continue to press the government until every commitment made to the victims is fulfilled in letter and spirit.

During his visit, the Speaker paid obeisance at the revered shrine of the renowned Sufi saint Hazrat Abdul Samad Mir (RA) at Nambalhar, where the annual Urs Mubarak is being observed. He offered prayers and paid rich tributes to the saint, praying for lasting peace, communal harmony and prosperity across Jammu and Kashmir. The Speaker addressed a huge gathering and interacted with the local residents at Arampora. During the interaction, the residents apprised the Speaker of several long-pending developmental issues requiring immediate attention. Prominent among their demands was construction of a bridge over Nallah Shaliganga to connect Tehsil Khansahib with Tehsil Chadoora. The people also highlighted the need for improved road connectivity, augmentation of drinking water supply, strengthening of power infrastructure and upgradation of other essential public amenities. The Speaker gave a patient hearing to every representation and assured the people that all their genuine demands would be taken up with the concerned departments for appropriate action. He said that developmental priorities would be pursued in a phased and planned manner, ensuring that projects of public importance receive due attention and are implemented without unnecessary delay. The Speaker emphasized that the bridge over Shaliganga would serve as a vital link, significantly improving the inter-tehsil connectivity, facilitating the transportation of agricultural produce to markets, reducing travel time and creating new economic opportunities for the farmers and traders. He said that the bridge would immensely benefit thousands of residents living on both sides of the nallah. The Speaker said that the present government is committed to ensure equitable and balanced development across Jammu and Kashmir, with special emphasis on strengthening infrastructure and improving the quality of life in rural and far-flung areas. He said that sustained efforts are being made to expand road connectivity, improve healthcare and educational facilities, augment drinking water supply, strengthen power infrastructure, and create durable public assets that directly benefit the people.

He stressed that every developmental initiative is aimed at improving the public welfare, generating employment opportunities, boosting economic activity and creating better prospects for future generations. The Speaker urged the people not to pay any heed to rumours or misinformation, saying that such elements only obstruct the pace of development and create unnecessary confusion among the public. He appealed to the residents to remain united and extend their wholehearted cooperation in implementation of developmental programmes for the larger interest of the region. The Speaker said that public outreach and direct interaction with the people remain essential for understanding grassroots issues and ensuring that development is driven by the genuine needs and aspirations of the people.

Fully prepared for all scenarios: Iran Army ahead of Netanyahu's US visit

Tehran [Iran], July 26 : Iran said its Army is fully prepared for all scenarios and has strengthened the air defence capabilities ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the United States, according to Iranian media. As reported by ISNA news agency, Iran Army spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia said that the US had failed to achieve its objectives during the conflict and suggested Washington was reassessing its strategy, with the claim that it is allegedly under Israeli influence. The situation for America is chaotic and undesirable, and they failed to achieve their goals in the Strait of Hormuz and in weakening Iran, he said. He added, They are now seeking a new strategy; the possibility of withdrawal from the war, conditional on Israel's permission. According to Tasnim News Agency, General Akraminia said that Iran had used the recent ceasfire period to rebuild and strengthen its military capabilities, particularly in the field of air defence. We have tried to make good use of opportunities. The three-month ceasefire period was a good opportunity for our defence planning, particularly in the field of air defence, he said. He said repaired air defence systems had been restored while new equipment had been integrated into the Army's operational structure, enhancing Iran's defensive capabilities. Akraminia further claimed that the US had failed to achieve its objectives in a war of aggression against Iran. He said Washington had failed in its goals of reopening the Strait of Hormuz, weakening Iran's defence capabilities, and undermining the resolve of the Iranian Armed Forces. Iran's Armed Forces have prepared for all possible scenarios and would deliver an appropriate response to any potential action, he said, warning that any continued US aggression could expand the geographical scope of the conflict and that Iran had developed new strategies to deal with such developments. The response comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Iran would be one of the key issues on the agenda for his meeting with US President Donald Trump in Washington. Ahead of his departure, at the start of the weekly government meeting, Netanyahu said, Tomorrow I will fly to Washington to meet, at his invitation, with President Trump, and afterwards to participate in the memorial service for a great friend of Israel, the late Senator Lindsey Graham. I will also discuss all pending issues with President Trump, including the situation in Iran. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has shelved plans for a major military escalation against Iran, opting to hold off on a wider offensive amid growing warnings from defence officials regarding critical shortages in the Pentagon's air defence stockpiles across the Middle East. According to a report by The New York Times, military leaders cautioned that a broader campaign could dangerously deplete supplies of Patriot antimissile interceptors, exposing US troops, Gulf partners, and key installations to retaliatory strikes, while senior aides voiced concern over wider economic instability and escalating regional crises. Concerns intensified after three US service members were killed on Thursday in Jordan when an enemy ballistic missile penetrated American defences during a barrage of Iranian drones and missiles, a senior US official told The New York Times.

Amarnath Yatra 2026 crosses 4 lakh pilgrim mark; over 4.14 lakh devotees receive darshan

Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], July 26 : The ongoing Shri Amarnath Yatra 2026 crossed a major milestone on Sunday, with more than four lakh pilgrims completing the annual pilgrimage and offering prayers at the holy cave shrine. The achievement comes days after the yatra resumed following a six-day suspension due to adverse weather conditions. According to an official Lok Bhawan press communique, a total of 4.14 lakh devotees have received darshan at the shrine since the 57-day pilgrimage began on July 3. Marking the milestone, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha expressed gratitude to Lord Shiva and thanked all those involved in ensuring the smooth conduct of the pilgrimage. By Lord Shiva's divine grace, the holy Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra has crossed a remarkable milestone and more than 4 Lakh pilgrims have already completed the sacred journey. Till now, 4.14 Lakh devotees have received darshan. I bow with reverence to Baba Amarnath for this blessing and extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make this journey a truly divine experience for all, Sinha said in a post on X. Earlier in the day, the 19th batch of pilgrims crossed Chanderkote in Ramban district under tight security as the pilgrimage continued towards the Kashmir Valley. The yatra resumed on Saturday after remaining suspended for six days due to heavy rainfall and deteriorating weather conditions. The Jammu and Kashmir administration had halted the pilgrimage on both the Pahalgam and Baltal routes on July 19 following an India Meteorological Department (IMD) warning of heavy rainfall across the Union Territory. Pilgrims departing from the Bhagwati Nagar base camp in Jammu resumed their journey under enhanced security arrangements. Authorities have permitted pilgrims travelling from the Jammu base camp to proceed only through the Baltal route. The 57-day Shri Amarnath Yatra, which began on July 3, will conclude on August 28 on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. Every year, the pilgrimage draws thousands of devotees from across the country to the revered cave shrine in south Kashmir. (ANI)
