ACB nabs two JKWDC field supervisors for accepting bribe
Srinagar, September 14: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Jammu and Kashmir on Monday trapped and arrested two Field Supervisors of the Jammu & Kashmir Womens Development Corporation (JKWDC) for their alleged involvement in demanding and accepting a bribe in connection with the disbursement of a sanctioned loan. According to the ACB, the action followed a written complaint alleging that Owais Ahmad Khan, Field Supervisor, JKWDC, had demanded illegal gratification from the complainant for facilitating the release of a sanctioned loan amount of 3 lakh under the Women Entrepreneurship Platform (WEP) Scheme. The complainant, unwilling to pay the bribe, approached the ACB. Following verification of the allegations, the ACB said the demand for illegal gratification was prima facie established. Subsequently, FIR No. 15/2026 was registered at Police Station ACB Srinagar under Sections 7 and 7A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and Section 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). A trap team was thereafter constituted to catch the accused. During the trap proceedings, Owais Ahmad Khan was allegedly caught red-handed while demanding and accepting the bribe from the complainant in return for facilitating the release and disbursement of the sanctioned loan. During the operation, another JKWDC Field Supervisor, Meiraj-ud-din Sheikh, was also arrested on the spot for his alleged involvement in the offence. The ACB said that the exact role and involvement of Sheikh are being ascertained as part of the ongoing investigation. The tainted money was recovered from the possession of the accused in the presence of independent witnesses, the ACB said. Both accused were subsequently subjected to medico-legal formalities and lodged at Police Station Shaheed Gunj, Srinagar, for safe custody. The ACB said further investigation into the case is going on .

Bangladesh Plans Five Floating LNG Terminals to Ease Gas Shortage
Bangladesh plans to set up five floating LNG terminals in phases to address the countrys persistent gas shortage, with three terminals to be developed initially and two more later, the government said on Monday. The plan was unveiled at a meeting between Prime Minister Tarique Rahman and leaders of 21 business organisations and media representatives at the Secretariat. State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Anindya Islam Amit presented the governments short-, medium- and long-term plans for electricity and gas at the meeting. The government is working to begin construction of the countrys third floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) before 2028, officials said. In the medium term, drilling of 150 gas wells is underway, with plans to undertake another 150-well drilling programme after its completion. The government is also pursuing land-based LNG terminals and expansion of gas transmission infrastructure alongside FSRUs. Prime Ministers Adviser Mahdi Amin later told reporters that the meeting discussed employment, industrialisation, electricity, gas, energy and mineral resources. He said the government was focusing on integrated power generation using oil, gas and coal while also prioritising solar power.

Srinagar could enter top-three cleanest cities in 2 years: H&UDD Secy
Srinagar, Sep 14 : Commissioner and Secretary, Housing and Urban Development Department (H&UDD), Mandeep Kaur, on Monday stressed the need for greater public participation in keeping Srinagar clean and improving waste management. Addressing an awareness programme on cleanliness, Kaur as per the news agencyKashmir News Observer (KNO), expressed hope that the improved waste-processing system would help Srinagar secure a place among the top three cleanest cities in the country within two years. We can talk as much as we want about cleanliness, but nothing will change until we start from our own homes, she said. Kaur said the government could spend thousands of crores on infrastructure, vehicles and waste-processing facilities, but such investments would not yield the desired results unless people changed their habits and took responsibility for keeping their homes and surroundings clean. Referring to Srinagars sanitation workforce, she said the Municipal Corporation had around 3,000 to 4,000 sanitation workers for a city with a population of approximately 16 to 17 lakh. Can such a small number of workers force everyone to maintain cleanliness? They cannot, she said, urging citizens not to depend solely on municipal workers for sanitation. She also stressed the need to reduce plastic use, promote home composting and create Swachhata warriors in schools and homes to combat garbage and pollution. Tourists should not say that Jammu and Kashmir is very beautiful but dirty, Kaur said, stressing that cleanliness was essential to complement the regions natural beauty. On Srinagars cleanliness ranking, Kaur said waste collection was being carried out effectively in the city, while waste processing had remained a major challenge. A solution has now been found and waste processing has started, she said, adding that the project had been prepared earlier but its implementation had been delayed. Kaur said the Swachhata Internship Programme had been launched as a pilot project in Jammu to take the message of cleanliness to schoolchildren and encourage them to motivate their parents to maintain cleanliness beyond their homes. She said collective efforts by citizens, along with improved waste processing, would be crucial to achieving the cleanliness goal.(KNO)

AIMSA Writes to Sakina Itoo Over PG Stipend Disparity in Jammu & Kashmir
Srinagar, September 14 : The All India Medical Students Association (AIMSA) has written to HealthMinister Sakina Itoo, raising concerns over the disparity in stipends received by postgraduate residents at Government Medical Colleges (GMCs) in Jammu & Kashmir compared with residents at SKIMS and in other states. AlMSA questioned why such a disparity exists when postgraduate residents across these institutions perform similar clinical duties and provide frontline healthcare services. The issue has gained further attention after Bihar revised its postgraduate resident stipends, while J&K continues to lag behind several other states. Dr Mohammad Momin Khan, President AIMSA J&K, said, There should be no disparity among postgraduate residents. Doctors performing similar responsibilities and serving patients should receive fair and equitable compensation. The government must address this anomaly without further delay. Dr Mohit Choudhary, Chief Advisor, AIMSA, and Postgraduate Resident atGMC Srinagar, said, Our government should take immediate steps to resolve this disparity. PG residents are working continuously on the frontline of healthcare, and their compensation should reflect their responsibilities and workload. AIMSA has urged the J&K Government to review the existing PG stipend structure, rectify the disparity with SKIMS and other states, and ensure fair, equitable and regularly revised stipends for postgraduate residents across J&k.

Brief Rain, Thundershowers Likely at Scattered to Many Places Across J&K Till Sept 17: MeT
Srinagar, September 14 : Jammu and Kashmir is likely to experience a brief spell of rain and thundershowers at scattered to many places during the early morning and forenoon hours from September 14 to 17, according to the latest weather forecast. The forecast suggests that the weather is expected to remain generally dry from September 18 to 25, with only brief spells of rain likely at isolated places. The weather pattern is expected to provide relatively favourable conditions for agricultural activities during the latter part of the period. Authorities have, however, advised caution as thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds may occur at a few places between September 14 and 17. For the farming community, the outlook remains encouraging, as apple and paddy harvesting can continue along with other routine farm operations, while farmers are advised to remain alert to sudden changes in weather during the next few days. The expected improvement and relatively dry conditions after September 17 could provide farmers with a useful window to accelerate harvesting and other agricultural activities.
