Drug-Free J&K Campaign Reaches 19th District, LG Sinha Leads Padyatra in Kishtwar
Jammu, June 6: We are breaking the chain of the drug trade at every single link. Whether its cross-border smugglers, peddlers or the terror financiers- there is no safe haven. Our agencies are hunting down every narco-terrorist and permanently dismantling their networks, the Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha said on Saturday. He observed that over the last nearly two months, citizens from all walks of life, have walked streets across the Union Territory, shared the pain of affected families, and energized our youth. Our goal is to foster a grassroots resistance against drug abuse and end narco-terrorism, he said.The Lieutenant Governor was addressing the public rally at Kishtwar. The campaign has so far covered 19 districts of Jammu Kashmir, reinforcing a collective commitment to eradicate drugs from villages and towns. For 56 days I have pursued a single mission of eliminating every drug smuggler and narco-terrorist from this land. Narco-terrorists and drug smugglers, whether in Pulwama or Ramban, Kulgam or Kishtwar, must understand this truth that there will be no mercy for those who ruin the future of our young generation, the Lieutenant Governor said. He said under the leadership of Honble Prime Minister Narendra Modi, there is no mercy for narco-terrorists.We are ensuring that drug addicts who seek a path to recovery are provided all possible assistance and brought back to the mainstream with compassion and dignity. But compassion cannot be wasted on narco-terrorists who profit from others ruin, who thrive on destruction, who aim to drain the life from Kishtwars villages and towns. My objective is very clear that ruthless action will be taken against narco-terrorists while unwavering protection will be ensured for the innocent, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor said that although J&K Drug-Free Campaign is scheduled for 100 days, it marks the start of a much larger fight. He said eliminating this threat requires a marathon effort. It is a war of years, not a battle of weeks. Victory demands a unified, round-the-clock commitment. By mobilizing a whole-of-society approach, we will ensure that J&Ks soil is completely cleared of drug smugglers and drug peddlers. During the Padyatra across Jammu Kashmir, I have witnessed the incredible courage of young men and women breaking the shackles of addiction to reclaim their lives. That is why we cannot fail. This campaign is a matter of the soul of Jammu Kashmir, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor said in order to safeguard youth, the administration is embedding the spirit of this mission into the very fabric of our neighborhoods, equipping communities to recognize the warning signs, intervene early, and shield each other. Our teachers, Panchayat Mahila Samitis, religious leaders, and civil society groups are the torchbearers of this movement, standing united to ensure the shadow of addiction never finds a foothold in Kishtwar and across Jammu Kashmir. This is a defining moment for the future of our children. The people have spoken with one voice that narco terrorists must be driven from this land, the Lieutenant Governor said.

Narayana Health City has announced the achievement of a significant milestone in Cardiac Electrophysiology by performing India’s first Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) for the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), one of the world’s most common and challenging heart rhythm disorders. Breaching a frontier in Cardiac Electrophysiology, the first PFA procedure in India was successfully conducted at Narayana Health City, Bengaluru by the team of Cardiac Electrophysiologists comprising Dr. Deepak Padmanabhan, Dr. Kapil Kumawat, and Dr. Debabrata Bera. This procedure which would have taken up to four hours through traditional methods, was completed within 35 minutes using this new technology. Celebrating a landmark in cardiac care, the team at Narayana Health City successfully performed India’s first Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) for Atrial Fibrillation As the first centre in India to perform Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA), Narayana Health has integrated this platform with its unique Comprehensive AFib management programme with an intention to deliver state-of-the-art, minimally invasive, and safe AFib ablation to patients suffering from the disease. The Institute performs this procedure on globally recognised technology systems such as Johnson & Johnson, Abbott, Boston Scientific, and Medtronic. This allows physicians to perform procedures with enhanced precision and efficiency. The technology is safe, patient-centric and compatible with both conscious and deep sedation thereby paving the path towards shorter hospital stays and recovery periods. Narayana Health, with its focus on greater accessibility, offers mechanisms for patients of various socio-economic backgrounds to avail this procedure at prices as low as Rupees 2.5 lakhs despite the use of imported technologies. Commenting on this significant landmark, Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty, Founder and Chairman, Narayana Health , said, “ Pulsed Field Ablation represents a defining leap in the future of cardiac rhythm management. It uses ultra-fast electrical pulses to selectively target cardiac tissue, while preserving surrounding critical structures and minimising damage. This makes it one of the safest and most promising breakthroughs in Electrophysiology in recent times and ushers in a new era in rhythm management in our country. Atrial Fibrillation affects nearly 50 million people worldwide with the prevalence increasing as the age of the population increases. It contributes to 20 per cent of brain strokes with an unknown cause, and incites and worsens heart failure. It is also known to contribute to dementia by causing minor brain infarcts and reducing blood flow to the brain. In Atrial Fibrillation, the heart’s upper chambers beat out of sync with the lower chambers, making them quiver or ‘fibrillate’ rapidly. This disrupts the heart’s coordinated pumping, causing the blood to collect inside the heart instead of being pumped out fully. This is the mechanism of the clot formation as well as heart failure. In addition, owing to the higher heart rate and poor filling of the cardiac chambers, exercise reserve is reduced leading to a vicious cycle of heart failure, Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial muscle weakness .” A person experiencing AFib may feel a fluttering sensation in their chest, unusual fatigue, dizziness, or even shortness of breath. While these symptoms can be managed with medications and blood thinners, the best remedy in the long term would be to restore a normal cardiac rhythm. Hitherto, patients underwent traditional thermal ablation, a minimally invasive catheter-based technique which uses targeted heat or cold to destroy tissue responsible for abnormal electrical signals in the heart, but with a high likelihood of damage to surrounding structures. Early clinical studies on Pulsed Field Ablation have demonstrated considerable safety, effectiveness, faster recovery times, and shorter duration of the procedure, which means that patients spend less time on the operating table. Dr. Devi Shetty further added, “ As India embraces next-generation cardiac care, the adoption of PFA needs to be supported by rigorous clinical evaluation, structured training for physicians, and strong institutional protocols to ensure effective integration into mainstream practice. This technology has the potential to dramatically reduce procedure times, improve recovery, and redefine the standards of care for patients with complex cardiac arrhythmias. We believe that successful Atrial Fibrillation management extends beyond the procedure itself and requires a comprehensive, patient-centric approach .” Elaborating about PFA, Dr. Deepak Padmanabhan said, “ Patients increasingly seek therapies that are effective, minimally invasive, and associated with quicker recovery. The procedure is performed using a fine catheter, guided through the blood vessels in the leg. Most patients will require just an overnight stay in the hospital and can return to work quickly. It also enables hospitals to be able to deliver care effectively and scale the therapy to cater to the growing needs of our burgeoning population. ” Dr. Kapil Kumawat said, “ The most important step remains early recognition. Persistent palpitations, irregular heartbeat, unexplained fatigue, dizziness, or breathlessness should not be ignored. Early diagnosis and timely evaluation can reduce the risk of complications, including brain stroke and heart failure. Even after a successful ablation, patients will need structured, long-term follow-up to maintain heart health. This includes managing overall cardiovascular risk factors—through brain stroke prevention, controlling BP, diabetes and weight management, being consistent with exercise routines and treatment of sleep apnoea .” Dr. Debabrata Bera said, “ As Electrophysiologists, our goal is to provide patients with durable rhythm control while reducing procedural risks and recovery times. Pulsed Field Ablation brings us significantly closer to achieving that objective and offers renewed hope for patients living with Atrial Fibrillation. It also democratises the procedure delivery since the learning curve is expected to be less steep than the existing ablation technologies .” Narayana Health has developed and deployed advanced technologies to treat electrical disturbances of the heart, generally referred to as Arrhythmias. Comprehensive AFib services are available throughout its network of hospitals across the country. About Narayana Health Narayana Health, founded by Dr. Devi Shetty and headquartered in Bengaluru, is a leading presence in the global healthcare landscape. As one of the largest healthcare providers in India, Narayana Health operates a comprehensive range of primary, secondary, and super-speciality tertiary care facilities across India and the Caribbean.

Uri Youth Demand Jobs in NHPC Project
Idrees Bukhtiyar Srinagar, June 04: With construction activities recently commencing on the 240 MW Uri-I Stage-II Hydroelectric Project in north Kashmirs Uri area, local unemployed youth have urged the authorities to ensure adequate employment opportunities for residents of the region, saying the project should directly benefit the people living in its vicinity. The project, being developed by NHPC Limited on the Jhelum River in Baramulla district, is an extension of the existing Uri-I Hydroelectric Project. Designed with an installed capacity of 240 MW, it will comprise two generating units of 120 MW each and is expected to generate around 932 million units of clean electricity annually. The demand for local employment has gained momentum following the recent launch of major construction works by NHPC. Residents said that while they welcome the project as a significant infrastructure initiative, it should also contribute to addressing unemployment in the Uri area. We are happy that work on the project has finally begun. However, local youth have high expectations from NHPC. Preference should be given to educated and skilled youth from Uri in recruitment and contractual jobs, said a resident of Mohura area. Several unemployed graduates from Uri said the region has long contributed to the countrys energy sector by hosting major hydropower projects but local communities have not received adequate employment benefits. Many young people here possess technical qualifications and degrees but remain unemployed. This project can become a source of livelihood for hundreds of families if locals are given priority during various phases of construction and operation, said Abrar Ahmad, a local of Uri. Residents also appealed to the district administration and NHPC management to establish a transparent mechanism for hiring local manpower and contractors. We are not asking for special favours. We only want deserving local candidates to be considered first for jobs that match their qualifications and skills, a delegation of locals told Rising Kashmir. Social activists and community leaders also echoed the demand, saying large developmental projects should create economic opportunities for host communities. The Uri-I Stage-II project is expected to strengthen Jammu and Kashmirs power infrastructure while contributing to Indias renewable energy goals. Officials have said the project will play a key role in increasing clean energy generation and meeting growing electricity demand.

Wicketkeeper-batter KS Bharat Retires From International And Indian Cricket
Indian Captain Rohit Sharma: In a surprise development, wicketkeeperbatter KS Bharat on Thursday announced his retirement from international and Indian cricket at the age of 32. Bharat represented India in seven Tests and featured prominently in domestic cricket for Andhra. With a proud heart and sense of gratitude, I announce my retirement from international Cricket. To play for my country has been the greatest honour of my life. This journey of mine has demanded great resilience and strength, but the Honour to represent India in Tests is worth every moment. In a family of four, we all lived the same dream over two decades, a big heart to my sister, mom, and dad for creating an environment and support system they have been. I am a product of their love, discipline, and hard work, wrote Bharat in a note on his Instagram account on Thursday. Bharat first got an India call-up in November 2019 but made his Test debut in February 2023 after Rishabh Pant was sidelined due to recovery from his injuries suffered in a life-threatening car accident. Hes also remembered for taking two catches and effecting one stumping when Wriddhiman Saha had a stiff neck during the Kanpur Test against New Zealand in 2021. But Bharat was inconsistent in his glovework and run-making, which meant that he wasnt considered for the Test team after playing the second Test against England at his hometown, Visakhapatnam. In seven Tests, including playing in the 2023 World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval, Bharat amassed 223 runs with a highest score of 44 and an average of 20.09. Thank you, BCCI, and all the coaches and managers whom I came across in my career and who supported me unconditionally by creating a great environment to play and excel at the highest level. Thank you, Andhra Cricket Association, VDCA, and all office-bearers, for your support and encouragement from my childhood. I owe massive gratitude and respect to all the Groundsmen who have worked very, very hard to ensure the best pitches and ground conditions were given to me at all times. To all my teammates, I extend a big thank you for all the moments and achievements together, which helped me in my career, and without you all, it would not have been possible for me to achieve my dream and play the sport all these years. A big thank you to my IPL debut captain, Virat Kohli, for giving me an opportunity to show my skills and come into recognition. A big thank you to my Indian Captain Rohit Sharma, under whom I made my Test debut, which is priceless and beyond words. To my Indian coach, Rahul Dravid sir, his guidance from India A to the Indian team is unforgettable. With your support, I could become an Indian Test cricket player, added Bharat. In domestic cricket, Bharat was the first wicketkeeper-batter to score a triple-hundred in the Ranji Trophy, when he smashed 308 off 311 balls for Andhra against Goa in Ongole in the 2014/15 Ranji Trophy season. In all, he made 6102 runs in 113 first-class games at an average of 36.53, apart from 2692 and 1812 runs in List A and 20-over matches respectively. To my coach, J. Krishna Rao, thank you for shaping me into an international cricketer at a young age. To the fans and cricket lovers across the world, thank you for your endless support and encouragement whenever I represented our country. Hearing our national anthem and sharing the field with great ambassadors of the game are memories I will cherish forever. I'm deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of my journey. Cricket had given me everything in many ways, and I owe it to my life, added Bharat. In IPL, Bharat was a part of Delhi Daredevils in 2015, before playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2021 season, where he smashed an unbeaten 78 in a thrilling last-ball win over Delhi Capitals, where he lofted Avesh Khan for a straight six. In the following three years, Bharat was a part of the Delhi Capitals (2022), Gujarat Titans (2023), and Kolkata Knight Riders (when they won the trophy in 2024), but didnt get many chances. About his future plans, Bharat said his focus will be on mentoring the next generation of cricketers. My advice to young players is to dream big and work hard to achieve it. Dreams do come true with grit, discipline, hard work, and determination. If I could achieve my dream, so can you.

Inter-State burglar arrested in Goa; stolen gold and silver worth 82 lakh recovered
Antara , India’s most comprehensive senior care ecosystem offering end-to-end solutions across all stages of ageing, has opened an integrative medicine clinic in Gurugram, purpose-built for managing chronic conditions. The Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic (AIWC) brings integrative medicine, combining modern medicine with evidence-based holistic therapies, into Antara’s continuum of care for the first time. Here, a multidisciplinary team of doctors deliver personalised care plans that take a holistic view of a person rather than treating symptoms. The launch marks a significant evolution in how Antara serves seniors, and in how health and wellbeing can be approached as India’s population gets older, the disease burden grows, and the gap between lifespan and health span widens. The Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic in DLF Phase 2, Gurugram Globally, integrative medicine has gained acceptance for its role in improving outcomes in chronic disease management and enhancing quality of life. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises it as an interdisciplinary, evidence-based approach that combines conventional medicine with traditional therapies, such as Ayurveda and energy healing, to look at the mind, body and spirit together; the focus is on the root cause of illness, not just its symptoms. Ms. Tara Singh Vachani, Executive Chairperson, Antara Senior Care , said, “ Antara has spent more than a decade walking alongside families through all stages of ageing. We have seen them navigate the complexities of a fragmented healthcare system, disjointed treatment plans and episodic care that seldom restore quality of life. Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic is our answer to preserve seniors’ dignity and independence. It is built on the conviction that patients’ problems should be addressed holistically as good health is a combination of physical, emotional, mental, and social wellbeing. As India’s senior population and chronic disease burden grow, fully integrated, holistic wellness models will become key to unlocking a healthy society .” Mr. Rajit Mehta, CEO & MD, Antara Senior Care , said, “ Indians are living longer, but the years added are too often years lived with disease, dependency and fatigue. The gap between lifespan and health span is the gap we strive to close. Our goal is straightforward: help seniors live their best life possible; prevent the hospital visits we can, reduce medication where possible, and restore function where we can. At AIWC, seniors benefit from a coordinated care journey designed by one multidisciplinary team, beginning with a comprehensive health assessment, followed by personalised wellness plan, and multi-pronged approach that addresses physical, mental and emotional health. ” Dr. Pankaj Verma, Medical Director, Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic , explained, “ In integrative medicine, modern medicine is the anchor, and traditional systems work alongside it to address lifestyle, stress, the inflammation that sits underneath chronic diseases. For a senior with diabetes, hypertension and joint pain, coming to AIWC means a clear focus on addressing the root cause—the hidden mind-body link that often feeds the disease. Over time, many of our patients can reduce their pill load and recover function they had given up on. This is what whole-person medicine looks like in practice .” Antara’s integrative clinic offerings combine functional medicine consultations, Ayurvedaprakriti analysis, advanced therapies such as IV cellular nutrition (high-dose Vitamin C, Glutathione), medical-grade ozone therapy and Far Infrared sauna, classical Ayurveda and Panchakarma, acupuncture, energy and vibrational healing, and integrative counselling. Care is organised through 10 condition-focused programmes: JointCare, HeartCare, DiabetesCare, BreathCare, GutCare, LiverCare, MindCare, WeightCare, and CancerCare, the last designed as complementary support alongside standard oncology care. For India, care pathways like integrative medicine are becoming increasingly important as its senior population is set to more than double to 347 million by 2050, bringing with it unique clinical needs that the traditional healthcare system cannot address alone. About Antara Senior Care Launched in 2013, Antara is the senior-care business of Max India Limited, part of the USD 7-billion Max Group. It is an integrated ecosystem for senior care, operating in two main lines of business – Residences for Seniors and Assisted Care Services. Antara’s first senior residential community in Dehradun, comprising nearly 200 families, caters to their social, recreational, educational, wellness, and health-related needs. In the near future, it will open its second senior living community in Noida’s Sector-150, with families moving into the 340 apartments built in the first phase. Expanding its footprint in Gurugram, Antara will manage senior living residences, dedicated spaces for senior living, and primary healthcare services at Estate 360 and Estate 361, developed by Max Estates. Antara’s Assisted Care Services include Care Homes and Services, AGEasy, and Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic. This line of business caters to seniors, who need more immersive interventions in their daily lives due to medical or age-related issues. With eight facilities and 485 beds across Gurugram, Noida, Bengaluru and Chennai, Care Homes provide long-term care to seniors who require constant medical and nursing supervision, and short-term care services for the recuperation of seniors. Its care at home services, offered in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and Chennai, provide well-equipped, trained professionals offering care to seniors inside their home’s comfort. AGEasy, an online and offline store focusing on senior-specific products and solutions to manage chronic health conditions at home, has touched over 6.5 lakh lives since inception in 2023. Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic combines modern medicine with evidence-based traditional therapies through a multidisciplinary team of doctors to deliver personalised care plans.
