Who is Chuck Redd? Judge awards $252,000 to musician who canceled performance over Trump-Led Kennedy Center name change

In a notable legal decision, a judge mandated that the Kennedy Center compensate jazz musician Chuck Redd with over $250,000. This follows Redd's cancellation of a Christmas Eve show due to President Trump's name being displayed prominently. Although the Kennedy Center threatened legal action for $1 million, the judge dismissed the case, referencing a lack of a binding contract and the protective measures under the district's anti-SLAPP law.

3175 landless rural households in J&K await land under PMAY-G: Centre

Srinagar, Aug 11:As many as 3175 rural landless households in Jammu and Kashmir are awaiting land to build houses under the Pradhan Mantri AwasYojana-Gramin (PMAY-G), the Centre told the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The Ministry of Rural Development said 3673 landless households in J&K have been identified as eligible under the scheme. Land has been provided to 498, leaving 3175 awaiting allotment by the J&K administration, it said. The figures were given by Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in a written reply to a Lok Sabha question. They are based on data available as of August 6, 2026. The ministry said, Landless beneficiaries are accorded priority under PMAY-G and that States and Union Territories are responsible for providing land to eligible households and implementing the scheme. J&K has a PMAY-G target of 3,41,644 houses. Of these, 3,34,597 have been sanctioned and 3,26,860 completed. Another 14,784 houses remain incomplete against the target, it said. The Centre said delays were linked to beneficiaries unwillingness, permanent migration, disputed succession in cases involving deceased beneficiaries, delay in allotment of land to landless beneficiaries, delays in updating credit confirmation through State IFMIS, elections, and non-availability of construction material. At the national level, 5,61,919 rural landless households have been identified as eligible. Of these, 3,26,183 have been provided land, while 2,35,736 are awaiting allotment, it said. The government has approved Phase-II of PMAY-G for completion of an additional two crore houses by March 2029. It said progress is being monitored through regular reviews, a dedicated dashboard and workshops with states and UTs, along with timely allocation of targets, release of funds, and rural mason training programmes to accelerate construction.

Heavy rains lash parts of Jammu region

Jammu, Aug 11:Heavy rains on Tuesday lashed parts of Jammu region, with Kathua, Jammu, Katra and Samba experiencing significant rainfall, leading to brief surge in water bodies amid persisting forecast of intense isolated weather activity during next 48 hours. In Kathua, which received the highest rainfall in the region during the past 24 hours, Ujhriver on Tuesday afternoon even crossed the danger mark. This prompted the authorities to issue safety alerts for the people in low-lying areas. However, by evening, the water level had started receding. Around 12 pm or so, Ujh crossed the danger mark following an overnight spell of heavy rains. However, it did not reach the evacuation level. But the district administration, which is already in pro-active mode, had already issued a warning, sensitising people to stay alert. But by late noon, the water started receding. Overall the situation remained well under control, Deputy Commissioner Kathua Rajesh Sharma told Greater Kashmir. He stated that Ujhs surge above the danger mark persisted for two hours or so, before it finally started receding. In fact, intense overnight rains in Billawar and its higher reaches led to a surge in Ujh. Seven people, belonging to the nomadic community, were caught in the swollen Ujhriver following a sudden surge near MahiChak village. But all the stranded people, including six females and a child, were safely evacuated with the assistance of SDRF and NDRF teams after the water receded, DC Kathua shared. According to the Met department, Kathua recorded the highest 156 mm of rainfall, followed by Jammu with 79 mm of rainfall, Katra 71 mm and Samba 55 mm of rainfall, during the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the orange alert issued by the department for isolated heavy rains, thunder storms, lightning and gusty winds for the entire Jammu region, with the possibilities of landslides, shooting stones and flash floods at vulnerable places from August 12 to 15, 2026 continued to be in place. As per India Meteorological Department (IMD) Centre, the activity in terms of spatial distribution in the region will be fairly widespread to widespread, light to moderate and thunderstorm with isolated heavy falls during this period. The weather activity will weaken from August 16. The safety advisories of divisional and district authorities for people in vulnerable stretches to stay alert and away from the water bodies continued to be in place. Meanwhile, a man died of electrocution after he came into contact with an inverter in Kathua which registered an intense spell of heavy rains.

Don't wait for job, create one: Bandipora womans journey from 20 sheep to 500

Bandipora, Aug 11: When Mumtaza started her livestock venture in 2020, she had just 20 sheep and a simple determination to build something of her own. Today, that modest beginning has grown into a thriving sheep farm with nearly 500 animals, a journey she says was made possible by hard work, family support and timely guidance from the Animal Husbandry Department. For Mumtaza, the journey did not begin with a big business plan. It began after her education, when a government job failed to come her way. I didnt wait for a job. I thought, why not do something on my own? she recalls. With the support of her family, husband and in-laws, she decided to step into livestock farming. The Animal Husbandry Department provided her with a sheep unit, while officials continued to visit the farm and guide her whenever needed. What started with 20 sheep gradually expanded through persistence and reinvestment. Today, Mumtaza proudly looks after nearly 500 sheep. But for her, the real success of the farm is not measured only by the number of animals. The farm has also become a source of livelihood for others. People are employed for cleaning the farm, removing manure, feeding the animals and carrying out other daily tasks. I didnt just create employment for myself; I also created opportunities for others to earn a livelihood, she says. Behind the numbers is a story of a woman who chose to move forward when opportunities seemed limited. Mumtaza believes that women, particularly those who spend most of their time confined to household responsibilities, should also look beyond the kitchen and explore the opportunities available through government schemes. Where women are often confined to household work, they should come forward and take advantage of government schemes. They should do something for themselves, for their families, and also create employment opportunities for others., she says. Her message to other women is simple: Do not be afraid to start. Come forward. Take advantage of government schemes, just as I did. Leave your hesitation behind, work hard, and move forward. For Mumtaza, the rewards of her hard work have gone far beyond financial independence. The income from the farm helped her educate and support her children and gave her family a better future. And then came a blessing she considers among the most precious achievements of her life she was able to perform Umrah twice through the earnings of her work. From a small flock of 20 sheep to nearly 500, Mumtazas story is not merely about livestock farming. It is about refusing to wait for an opportunity and instead creating one. Her journey also highlights how government support, when combined with individual determination and family encouragement, can help women turn small beginnings into sustainable livelihoods. Today, she has a message for women across Jammu and Kashmir: There are many schemes available today. Go, take advantage of them and start your own work. The beginning may be small, but if you keep working hard, you can achieve great things. Mumtazas 20 sheep were once just a beginning. Five hundred today stand as a reminder that sometimes, all it takes to change a life is the courage to take the first step.
