Kashmir gears up for winter tourism

Srinagar, Nov 12: With preparations for the upcoming winter season reaching their final stage, the Tourism Department Kashmir is gearing up to organise a series of events and adventure sports activities to attract more visitors to Kashmir. Director Tourism Kashmir Syed Qamar Sajad expressed optimism about the upcoming season, saying the department is fully prepared to welcome tourists and organise various programmes during winter, particularly around the New Year celebrations. Speaking in Gulmarg, Sajad said the department would also organise a special autumn event, 'Harud', on November 16 to showcase Kashmir's rich cultural traditions and the influence of changing weather on the Valley's way of life. He said autumn holds a special place in Kashmir's cultural and natural landscape, particularly during the harvesting season when Chinar trees transform their surroundings with golden-coloured leaves. During this season, when you visit a Chinar garden, it feels as if gold has been spread everywhere. The golden colour creates a beautiful atmosphere and adds a unique attraction for tourists. Visitors first witness the greenery and later see the same landscape turning golden, Sajad said. On winter tourism preparations, he said the department was planning to organise one or two tourism-related tournaments, with particular emphasis on skiing, which remains among the most popular adventure sports in the region. He said snowboarding competitions and snow races would also be organised to provide greater exposure to Kashmir's winter tourism and adventure sports potential. Our effort is to give maximum exposure to winter tourism and adventure tourism in Kashmir. We want to organise different sporting activities and events to attract more tourists during the season, he said. Sajad further said that drag lifts had been repaired to improve facilities for winter sports enthusiasts. The drag lift at Gangori is also expected to become fully functional this winter, providing an additional facility for visitors and adventure sports lovers. He said the department was making efforts to strengthen winter tourism infrastructure and diversify activities so that tourists could experience more than just the natural beauty of the Valley. Expressing confidence about the upcoming season, Sajad said the combination of adventure sports, cultural events, improved facilities and Kashmir's scenic winter landscape would help attract more visitors. He expressed hope that the winter season would be highly successful and give a further boost to tourism in Kashmir.

Rain throws Srinagar traffic out of gear

Srinagar, Nov 12: Fresh spells of rain lashed Srinagar on Thursday, bringing traffic movement to a crawl at several busy locations across the summer capital and leaving commuters struggling to reach their destinations. The rainfall, which continued for much of the day, led to congestion on several important roads, with vehicles moving at a snails pace during peak hours. Office-goers, students, traders and other commuters faced considerable inconvenience as traffic piled up at major intersections and busy market areas. Among the key stretches requiring attention were Lal Chowk, Jehangir Chowk, Residency Road, Maulana Azad Road, Hari Singh High Street, Batwara, Dalgate, Rajbagh, Jawahar Nagar, Rambagh, Batamaloo and the Bemina stretch. Traffic movement on these roads is particularly vulnerable to disruption during rainfall due to heavy vehicular movement and water accumulation at vulnerable points. Commuters said even short-distance journeys took considerably longer than usual, while the situation was particularly difficult for people travelling towards hospitals, offices and commercial establishments. The moment it starts raining, traffic movement in Srinagar becomes extremely difficult. A journey that normally takes 15 minutes can take almost an hour. There is an urgent need for better traffic management, particularly during bad weather, said Irshad Ahmad, a commuter. Manzoor Ahmad, a resident of Bemina said the recurring traffic congestion during rainfall reflected the need for a long-term solution rather than temporary traffic regulation. People face the same situation whenever it rains. Water accumulation and congestion at busy intersections make travelling extremely difficult. Authorities need to identify vulnerable spots and take corrective measures, he said. The situation also raised concerns among shopkeepers and business establishments in commercial areas, where traffic congestion affected the movement of customers and deliveries. Residents have urged the Traffic Police, Srinagar Municipal Corporation and other concerned departments to improve coordination, ensure proper drainage and deploy additional personnel at vulnerable intersections during rainfall. They said Srinagars traffic management system needs a comprehensive approach to prevent routine weather conditions from turning into major commuting difficulties. A senior traffic police official said that enough deployment has been done to manage and streamline the traffic movement.

Arunachal govt to strengthen indigenous affairs dept, hold youth festival every two years: CM Khandu

Digital Desk | Itanagar, Nov 12 (IANS) Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Thursday reaffirmed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government's commitment to preserving the state's indigenous faiths, traditions and cultural identity, announcing plans to strengthen the Department of Indigenous Affairs and enhance its budgetary allocation. Addressing the inaugural event of the 8th Indigenous Faith Youth Festival at Seppa in East Kameng district, CM Khandu said the department, established in 2016-17, would be further strengthened, with additional funds to be provided in the forthcoming Revised Estimates to expand its programmes and reach more young people. He also announced that the Indigenous Faith Youth Festival would henceforth be organised once every two years instead of three years, with the next edition scheduled for 2028. The festival, organised by the Indigenous Faith and Cultural Society of Arunachal Pradesh (IFCSAP), is witnessing the participation of more than 1,000 delegates from across the state. Chief Minister Khandu assured early consideration and release of the gap funding sought by IFCSAP through a memorandum submitted to his office on November 6, citing the larger-than-expected participation this year. Announcing the revival of the Kameng River Festival from this year, the Chief Minister said the state government would provide financial support through the Tourism Department. Highlighting East Kameng's potential for adventure and cultural tourism, CM Khandu referred to opportunities in river rafting and paragliding and called for greater tourism awareness and hospitality training among local communities. He said the success of a tourist destination depended not only on its natural attractions but also on the warmth and hospitality extended to visitors. On preserving indigenous traditions, the Chief Minister added that six Gurukuls were functioning successfully in the state and assured continued government support for their development. He directed that the road leading to the Gurukul at Lada be taken up during the current financial year, besides calling for improvements in basic infrastructure, including water and electricity. He also announced that the Council constituted under the Department of Indigenous Affairs would be made more effective through regular meetings and greater empowerment. The department, he said, should consult IFCSAP while identifying and prioritising projects, considering the organisation's understanding of the needs of indigenous faith communities. Emphasising that development and technological advancement should not come at the cost of cultural identity, CM Khandu urged the younger generation to remain connected to their roots, languages, customs, faiths and traditions. He also called upon different communities to understand and respect one another's belief systems and cultural practices. Stressing peaceful coexistence, the Chief Minister said the preservation of indigenous faiths must go hand in hand with respect for other religions and cautioned against the misuse of social media and technology to create misunderstandings among communities. Chief Minister Khandu said cultural preservation could not depend on legislation alone and required active participation from individuals, community organisations and faith leaders. He also referred to the research and documentation work being undertaken by the RIWATCH Institute on the traditions of the Mishmi community. The Chief Minister also added that discussions were underway on a proposal to establish an international tribal learning centre or university in Arunachal Pradesh, expressing hope that it could be brought before the Assembly next year. On East Kameng's development, CM Khandu said 30 projects, with a combined estimated cost of Rs 340 crore, had been dedicated to the people through foundation stone laying and inauguration ceremonies. He expressed hope that the festival would provide participating youths an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the indigenous games, faiths, traditions and diverse cultural practices of Arunachal Pradesh.

India-China War Unlikely, Pak Warship Collision, IAF Pushback: Ex-Navy Chief Sunil Lanba | DefenceHQ

Will India and China ever go to war? Why does India hold the advantage over China in the northern Indian Ocean? And what does a former Navy chief make of the Pakistani warship that collided with an Indian destroyer?In this episode of DefenceHQ by The Times of India, Prasad Sanyal speaks to former Indian Navy chief Admiral Sunil Lanba (retd) about India's maritime strategy, the growing Chinese naval presence in the Indian Ocean, the collision with a Pakistani warship and the future of India's military power.Lanba explains why he believes India and China are unlikely to go to war, calls the conduct of the Pakistani warship's commanding officer most unprofessional and speaks candidly about the Indian Air Force's reservations over integrated theatre commands.He also reveals how a joint military plan prepared a year before Pulwama helped shape India's response at Balakot, why India needs three aircraft carriers, how delays have hurt the submarine programme and why he calls India's shipbuilding capacity pathetic. From sea-based nuclear deterrence to drones, modern naval warfare and the challenges of military integration, the former Navy chief offers an insider's perspective on India's defence preparedness.YouTube Tags: Admiral Sunil Lanba, Sunil Lanba interview, Prasad Sanyal, Indian Navy, India China war, China Navy, Pakistan Navy, India Pakistan, Pakistani warship collision, INS Kolkata, Operation Sindoor, Pulwama, Balakot airstrike, Indian Air Force, theatre commands, Indian aircraft carriers, INS Vikrant, Indian submarines, Project 75I, nuclear deterrence, nuclear triad, Indian Ocean, naval warfare, Indian defence, military strategy, DefenceHQ, TOI DefenceHQ, Times of IndiaHashtags: #DefenceHQ #IndianNavy #SunilLanba #PrasadSanyal #IndiaChina #PakistanNavy #TheatreCommands #TheTimesOfIndia00:00 Intro & Highlights02:20 Meet Former Navy Chief Admiral Sunil Lanba03:55 Indias Maritime Power & Why the Seas Matter06:40 India-Pakistan Warship Collision Explained08:05 What Happens When Rival Warships Get Too Close?09:35 Admiral Lanbas Journey in the Indian Navy11:05 Navigation Before GPS: How the Navy Operated12:50 Tracking Chinese Ships in the Indian Ocean15:55 Commanding Indian Navy Warships17:35 Indias Naval Indigenisation Journey21:40 Can Indian Warships Defend Against Drone Attacks?24:15 Why India Needs Aircraft Carriers27:20 Why Landing on an Aircraft Carrier Is So Difficult28:50 Why India Needs Three Aircraft Carriers29:30 How the Navy Responds During a Crisis31:30 Indias Submarine Fleet & The China Challenge33:40 Why Indias Submarine Programme Faced Delays35:55 Nuclear vs Conventional Submarines38:00 The Cost of Delays in Submarine Projects39:00 Indias Nuclear Deterrence & Second-Strike Capability41:30 Working With Army & Air Force Chiefs43:25 Why India Needs Integrated Theatre Commands46:05 What Is Holding Back Theatre Commands?48:20 Navy vs Army vs Air Force: Command Challenges50:45 What Does the Indian Navy Need Today?52:55 Chinas Massive Navy vs India54:30 Indias Advantage Over China in the Indian Ocean55:00 Rapid Fire: Carrier, Submarine, BrahMos & More56:05 Admiral Lanbas Favourite Warship58:05 The Indian Navy of 203558:35 What India Still Doesnt Understand About the Sea59:40 Why India Needs Holistic Maritime Power1:00:28 Closing
