J&K youth must ensure mistakes of past are never repeated: LG Sinha
Srinagar, Aug 14:The Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha, today attended the solemn observance of Partition Horrors Remembrance Day at Tagore Hall, Srinagar. The event was marked by collective remembrance and a reaffirmation of national unity. In his address on the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor paid heartfelt tribute to all those citizens who endured unimaginable suffering during the partition of 1947 and whose sacrifices continue to inspire generations. The Lieutenant Governor emphasised that the wound of partition continues to exist as a pain in the collective consciousness of every Indian. Decades after the partition, their sacrifice reminds us that the wound remains unhealed, lingering as a generational pain in Indias collective soul. On Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, we are not merely recalling the past but we are giving voice to those millions whose voices were taken away from them. I wish to reiterate with firm resolve that we will not allow their pain to be buried in the dust of history. Remembering them is fulfilling our duty towards humanity. We will preserve their memories. Remembering them with complete truthfulness, honesty, and utmost sensitivity is the most sacred tribute. I believe that their stories are an indelible chapter of our national consciousness, and their sacrifice will forever remain alive in the soul of Mother India, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor urged the people of UT of Jammu and Kashmir to treat this day as an occasion of introspection and national resolve. He called upon the youth, farmers, workers, and women to rise with courage and determination, to turn the pace of time towards progress and harmony. The Lieutenant Governor praised the resilience of people who rebuilt their lives with courage and enriched the countrys social fabric and cultural heritage with historic traditions and values. Todays occasion is an opportunity to acknowledge the pain of the past and strengthen our unwavering commitment to peace, harmony and national unity. This day reminds us that only the lessons of history can make the future secure and humane, the Lieutenant Governor said. He noted that the partition divided families and displaced communities from Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Chhamb. He paid tribute to those who faced decades-long discrimination within the UT due to Article 370. The Lieutenant Governor said that Honble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ended their suffering and granted them equal rights like any other citizen of the country. The Lieutenant Governor also paid tribute the countless families who sacrificed during the tribal invasion months after partition. Within a few months of partition, enemies of the nation carried out terror attack under the cover of tribal invasions. Indian army and people fought bravely. The struggle and sacrifice of countless families are an integral part of the collective memory of Jammu and Kashmir. Today, I humbly pay tribute to the patience, hard work, and unbroken patriotism of all those families, he said. Addressing the youth, the Lieutenant Governor emphasised that partition is not merely history but a living memory of millions of families. He urged them to learn from the experiences of the past, to reject enmity and communal bitterness, and to build bridges of trust. He called upon them to construct a developed India that is inclusive and empowered. The youth of Jammu Kashmir must ensure that the mistakes of the past are never repeated in the future. Where walls were once raised, you must build bridges of trust and construct a Viksit Bharat that is inclusive, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor reminded the gathering that Indias strength lies in its diversity. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, from Gujarat to Goa, from Assam to Arunachal Pradesh, India is a confluence of languages, cultures, traditions, and beliefs, he said. Through partition, enemies of the nation tried to destroy this spirit of unity in diversity, but India has continuously moved forward with pride and confidence. We must take a pledge to acquaint future generations with the pain of partition, to strengthen peace and harmony, and to ensure that such a tragedy is never repeated. Building a self-reliant Jammu Kashmir is a shared duty and national unity remains the bedrock of our strength, security and collective progress, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor visited the photo exhibition on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day. A Two- minute silence was observed in memory of those who lost their lives during the Partition of India.
A republic renewed by its citizens
Indias 80th Independence Day, to be celebrated on 15 August 2026, is not merely another anniversary on the national calendar. It is a historic milestone in the continuing journey of a civilisation that transformed the achievement of political freedom into the audacious project of building a constitutional democracy based on liberty, equality, justice and fraternity. Seventy-nine years after India broke the chains of colonial rule, the meaning of independence must be examined not only through the sacrifices of the freedom movement but also through the responsibilities that freedom places upon every citizen. Independence was never intended to be simply the transfer of power from one set of rulers to another. The freedom struggle represented a much larger aspiration: that the people of India should become masters of their own destiny. The Constitution subsequently gave institutional expression to that aspiration. It transformed the promise of freedom into fundamental rights, democratic institutions, an independent judiciary, universal adult franchise, federalism and the rule of law. The 80th Independence Day therefore offers an opportunity to ask a fundamental question: What does freedom mean to an Indian citizen in 2026? The answer cannot be confined to the waving of the Tricolour, patriotic songs or ceremonial speeches. Independence is meaningful only when citizens are free to speak, think, worship, associate, question authority, pursue knowledge, seek justice and participate equally in the democratic process. Political freedom acquires substance only when accompanied by social dignity, economic opportunity, constitutional protection and equality before law. Freedom is both a right and a responsibility The generation that fought for independence understood the price of freedom. Many went to prison, sacrificed careers, endured repression and, in numerous cases, gave their lives. They did not know what India would look like in 2026. But they had faith that succeeding generations would protect and enlarge the freedom they had secured. That responsibility now belongs to us. Citizenship in a democracy cannot be reduced to voting once every few years. A democratic citizen must remain alert to the functioning of institutions, demand accountability from those in power, respect constitutional limitations and defend the rights of otherseven when those rights are exercised by people with whom one disagrees. The true test of democracy is not whether we defend the freedom of those who agree with us. It is whether we are prepared to defend the freedom of those whose opinions, beliefs or politics may be different from our own. This is where the Constitution becomes the moral compass of the Republic. The Preambles commitment to justice, liberty, equality and fraternity is not ornamental language. It represents the foundational contract between the State and its citizens. The Republic becomes stronger when these principles become part of everyday civic conduct. Indias greatest achievement: constitutional democracy The extraordinary achievement of independent India lies in the fact that a deeply diverse society chose democracy. India brought together hundreds of communities, languages, cultures, faiths and traditions within a single constitutional framework. It adopted universal adult suffrage at the very beginning of the Republic, at a time when many newly independent nations were still struggling to establish democratic institutions. The Indian experiment has survived because democracy in India was never merely an institutional arrangement. It became a public habit, a political aspiration and, increasingly, a constitutional culture. Yet democracy can never be taken for granted. Every generation has to renew it. Institutions require vigilance. Fundamental rights require citizens who understand and defend them. The independence of constitutional institutions requires public commitment. The rule of law requires both rulers and citizens to accept that no individual or institution is above the Constitution. The 80th Independence Day should therefore become a national reminder that Indias future will be determined not only by governments but by the quality of its citizenship. And this is where Gen Z enters the national story Indias Gen Z is not merely the youngest generation of voters and professionals. It is increasingly the generation that will shape Indias intellectual, technological, economic and democratic future. This generation has grown up in a digital India. It communicates through smartphones, consumes information at extraordinary speed, creates content, challenges conventional hierarchies and is often impatient with traditional political language. That impatience should not necessarily be viewed as a weakness. It can be a democratic strength. Young Indians are asking difficult questions about employment, education, inequality, corruption, climate change, gender justice, institutional accountability, privacy, technology and the future of democracy. They want transparency and they want results. But Gen Z also faces a new challenge that the freedom fighters could never have imagined: the battle for truth in the digital age. Social media has democratised information, but it has also democratised misinformation. A fabricated story can travel faster than a verified fact. A manipulated image can acquire the appearance of truth. Algorithms can create echo chambers in which citizens hear only opinions that reinforce their existing beliefs. For Gen Z, therefore, digital citizenship is an essential component of constitutional citizenship. Freedom of expression must be accompanied by responsibility in the use of expression. The right to communicate must be matched by the duty to verify. Political disagreement should not become personal hatred. Criticism of government should not be confused with hostility towards the nation. A young citizen who checks facts before forwarding a message is performing an act of democratic responsibility. A young citizen who refuses to participate in online hatred is strengthening national unity. A young citizen who asks uncomfortable questions of authority is contributing to democracy. From patriotic emotion to constitutional patriotism Patriotism must not be measured only by the intensity of slogans. The deeper form of patriotism is respect for the constitutional values that hold India together. India does not belong to one religion, language, caste, region or political ideology. Its extraordinary identity lies precisely in its plurality. The idea of India is therefore not simply geographical. It is constitutional. It is the idea that a citizen in Kashmir and a citizen in Kanyakumari, a citizen in Nagaland and one in Gujarat, a Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, Jain or person of another faith, the rich and the poor, the majority and the minorityall possess equal constitutional dignity. Fraternity is therefore as important as liberty. Without fraternity, liberty can become individualistic and equality can become merely formal. Fraternity reminds us that democracy is ultimately about living together with dignity. The 80th Independence Day should consequently inspire us to move beyond majoritarian and minoritarian identities and rediscover the larger identity of constitutional citizenship. The first generation won freedom. The Constitution gave freedom a framework. Our generation must protect it. And Gen Z must carry it forward. Author is a Constitutional expert & a public intellectual

NCB secures return of naco-peddler Virender Singh Basoya from UAE: Amit Shah
New Delhi, Aug 14: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday said the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has secured the return of fugitive drug kingpin Virender Singh Basoya from the UAE. In a post on X, Shah said, Modi govt is relentlessly tracking down drug traffickers hiding abroad and destroying their entire ecosystem with a ruthless approach. The NCB, he said, secured the return of Basoya from the UAE creating a ew milestone in the policy of zero tolerance against narcotics. By tracing the criminal through a top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top approach, our agencies have once again proven that no matter where drug traffickers hide, they cannot escape the long arm of Indian law, he said. Basoya's name had surfaced in a seizure of 500 grams of Mephedrone, a synthetic stimulant commonly known by street name meow meow, in Pune in 2024. The probe was later expanded to identify and dismantle the entire drug trafficking network resulting in the recovery of approximately 867 kg of Mephedrone from Pune and 970 kg from Delhi, taking the total recovery to approximately 1,837 kg of Mephedrone. The NCB Mumbai unit took over investigation and identified Basoya as the alleged mastermind based abroad who coordinated activities of the syndicate from foreign shores and smuggle out Mephedrone consignments from India to other countries. A major consignment of approximately 970 kg of Mephedrone, recovered in Delhi, was allegedly linked to preparations for export through courier channels associated with him. His role emerged as an important link connecting the domestic manufacturing and trafficking network with its overseas distribution channels, a statement from the Home Ministry said. His name also cropped up in a separate case of Delhi Police Special Cell relating to international cocaine trafficking. In October 2024, the Special Cell of Delhi Police busted a major drug trafficking cartel, leading to multiple seizures from godowns and other premises in Delhi, Hapur and Ghaziabad, as well as from a factory in Ankleshwar, Gujarat. The coordinated operations resulted in the recovery of more than 1,300 kg of cocaine, Mephedrone and hydroponic weed, it said. Investigation into the cartel revealed Basoya's alleged role in coordinating the procurement, transportation, storage and distribution of cocaine and other drugs, it said. The NCB launched Operation GLOBAL-HUNT, launched to identify, locate and pursue major narcotics traffickers and fugitives operating from overseas jurisdictions using international cooperation mechanisms, including Interpol Red Notices. Basoya repatriation from the UAE is one of the key achievements of the operation, it said. NCB Deputy Director General (operations) Neeraj Gupta told reporters here that Basoya escaped to Dubai just a day after the Pune police registered a case against him in 2014. Basoya is a ig kingpin of the drug trafficking network against whom an Interpol Red Notice was issued in November 2025, Gupta added. He said Basoya also faces a 2009 DRI case in which he had gone to jail and a charge sheet in this case is before the court.

24 mining alerts in J&K in 5 years, just one confirmed illegal: Centre
Jammu and Kashmir recorded 24 alerts under the Mining Surveillance System (MSS) over five years, but only one was confirmed as unauthorised mining after field verification, the Lok Sabha was told Wednesday. The data, presented by the Ministry of Mines, covers 2021-22 to 2025-26. Pulwama accounted for the lone confirmed case in J&K as detected by the UT government. J&K recorded four MSS triggers in 2021-22, none in 2022-23, seven in 2023-24 and 13 in 2024-25. No trigger was recorded in 2025-26. The figures show that 23 of the 24 alerts did not result in a confirmed case after field verification. Across India, the MSS generated 679 triggers during the five-year period. State governments confirmed 42 cases of unauthorised mining after verification. Goa recorded the highest number of confirmed cases at 17, followed by Gujarat with seven and Madhya Pradesh with six. Andhra Pradesh recorded four, Tamil Nadu three and Karnataka two. Maharashtra and Rajasthan recorded one each. The Ministry described the MSS as a supplementary mechanism for detecting suspected unauthorised mining. Alerts are sent to concerned state governments for field verification by district-level officials. Under Section 23C of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, state governments are empowered to frame rules to prevent illegal mining, transportation and storage of minerals and take enforcement action. The Centre said details of penalties imposed, minerals recovered and compensation realised in cases arising from MSS triggers are maintained by respective state governments. It, therefore, did not provide consolidated state-wise figures on penalties or recoveries. The Ministry also said enforcement against illegal mining falls within the purview of State Governments, which are responsible for taking action after unauthorised mining is established through field verification.

Awarapan developed a strong following over the years, giving the new film a built-in nostalgia factor ahead of its release. Directed by Nitin Kakkar, Awarapan 2 stars Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi. Batwara 1947 has a tougher opening battle Batwara 1947 has sold 29,261 tickets across 5,672 shows, generating around 67,500 in day-one advance bookings. Its potential gross, including blocked seats, currently stands at approximately 204,000. Delhi is leading the film's bookings at around 49,000, followed by Maharashtra at 36,000. Gujarat has contributed roughly 22,000, while Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan have recorded around 19,500 and 12,500 respectively. The Rajkumar Santoshi-directed film stars Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal and Karan Deol. Set against the backdrop of Partition, it is backed by Aamir Khan Productions. The Independence Day clash is already taking shape The gap between the two releases is significant before either film reaches cinemas. Awarapan 2 has both a substantially higher ticket count and gross advance collection, while Batwara 1947 is currently relying on its Independence Day release and the appeal of its star cast and subject. The early numbers do not determine the final box-office result, but they show where audience interest is leaning before the first shows begin. Awarapan 2 is currently winning the pre-release race, with nostalgia giving Hashmis sequel a notable advantage.
