Terrorist killed in Operation Ashdar in J&Ks Budgam identified as LeT ultra from Pakistan
Srinagar, Sep 5 (IANS) The terrorist killed in Operation Ashdar by the joint forces on Friday in Jammu and Kashmirs Budgam district was on Saturday identified as a Pakistani national and a member of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). J&K Police said on Saturday that the terrorist killed during Operation Ashdar in Budgam has been identified as Yasir, a Pakistani national. In a post on X, the J&K Police said, You can run but you cant hide, while confirming the identity of the terrorist killed during the operation by the security forces. The identification comes a day after security forces neutralised a terrorist during a joint operation in the Ashdar Gali area of Budgam. An AK-series rifle and other war-like stores were also recovered from the slain terrorist during the operation, officials said. The operation was launched on Thursday when a patrol of Para-commandos engaged in firing exchanges with the terrorists after specific Intelligence inputs about the presence of a group of militants there. Troops of the Rashtriya Rifles and J&K Police joined the operation and ensured that the hiding terrorist did not escape despite darkness in the densely forested area. Budgam district has witnessed many encounters during the last over 36 years since terrorism started in J&K. The longest operation was undertaken by the Indian Army in 1995 when a Pakistani terrorist commander, Mast Gul entered the Chrar-e-Sharief town with a group of terrorists and laid siege of the holiest Sufi shrine of Sheikh Nuruddin Wali. The Indian Army did not storm the town to prevent civilian killings and damage to the Sufi shrine. The standoff continued for 66 days when Mast Gul set fire to the shrine which quickly spread to the densely populated town. The Army immediately started relief and rescue operation with J&K Police, paramilitary forces and the civil administration. Mast Gul managed to escape from the town and crossed over to Pakistan. As many as 20 terrorists, two Army soldiers and four civilians were killed in the Chrar-e-Sharief operation.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq urges J&K govt to engage striking medical interns, resolve their stipend issues
Srinagar, Sep 5 (IANS) Senior religious leader and chief cleric, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, on Saturday urged the Jammu and Kashmir government to engage the medical interns presently on a strike, in talks and resolve their problems. Taking to social media platform X on Saturday, Mirwaiz Umar said, The concerns raised by MBBS & BDS interns across J&K deserve serious and urgent consideration. A stipend of Rs 12,300 is clearly inadequate for young doctors working long hours and carrying significant clinical responsibilities. With a government-constituted committee having already recommended an enhancement, the prolonged delay is difficult to justify. The administration should engage with the interns, address their genuine demand fairly and expeditiously, and ensure that patient care is not disrupted. Medical interns are at present on a strike in J&K demanding enhancement of their monthly stipend from Rs 12,300 to Rs 30,000. The stipend of medical interns has remained unchanged since 2019. J&K Health and Education Minister, Sakina Itoo, said on Friday that the file regarding enhancement of their stipend was under active consideration of the finance department and there is no reason for the medical interns to continue their strike. The deadlock between the J&K government and the medical fraternity deepened on Saturday as MBBS and BDS interns from various institutions have announced the continuation of their ongoing strike. The decision comes in the wake of high-level discussions held on September 4, 2026, where the government proposed a 30-day administrative timeline for the long-pending revision of their internship stipend. The protests erupted recently as hundreds of interns across government medical colleges, including GMC Srinagar, GMC Baramulla, and the Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) Bemina, took to the streets. Chanting slogans of equal work and equal pay, the protesting doctors demanded an immediate hike in their monthly stipend from Rs 12,300 to Rs 30,000, citing severe inflation and seven years of administrative stagnation that has left their allowance at roughly Rs 400 per day. In contrast, they pointed out that counterparts in other states and UTs receive between Rs 25,000 and Rs 45,000 per month for identical clinical duties spanning 80 to 90 hours a week, 24-hour shifts, and mandatory rural postings. The strike notably disrupted routine outpatient department (OPD) services across several tertiary care facilities. Seeking a resolution, a delegation comprising 12 student and intern representatives held separate rounds of talks with Nasir Aslam Wani, Advisor to the Chief Minister and the Minister for Health & Medical Education, Sakina Itoo yesterday. During the two-hour meeting, the government conveyed that administrative and financial processes for stipend enhancement had already been initiated. Sakina Itoo acknowledged the demands as genuine given rising living costs, explaining that the proposal had cleared the Health Department and was currently with the Finance Department to assess financial implications. A tentative deadline of October 3, 2026, was set for the fulfillment of the demand, alongside an acknowledgment of concerns regarding the loss of academic days and patient care. The striking interns have said unless an announcement is made by the government that their stipend is being raised, the strike would continue. Senior doctors in J&K have supported the strike of the medical trainees. In addition to attending to patients in OPDs, in hospital patients, emergencies and operation theatres, the interns form an important part of the UTs healthcare delivery system.
When Asghar Wajahat wrote his acclaimed play Jis Lahore Nai Vekhya, O Jamya E Nai in 1989, India was a very different country. More than three decades later, as the celebrated play reaches the big screen as Rajkumar Santoshis Batwara 1947, Wajahat argues that its central concerns have become even more relevant. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Wajahat says that communal tension has significantly intensified in India since he first wrote the play. The communal tension has obviously increased. When I wrote the play, the communal tension was there, but it was not as high as it is today. Yet neither his play nor its screen adaptation was ever conceived as a loud political commentary. Instead of directly confronting Partition or communalism, the story works through undertones. This play negates the two-nation theory. It's not very vocal, not very over. It does it from the inside, he explains, describing his play more as a human saga. Asked about the increasing presence of communal divisions and religious conflicts in cinema and public discourse, Wajahat points to the role of misinformation and organised hate campaigns. There is misinformation. There is a hate campaign. It is an organized campaign, he says, adding that such campaigns ultimately have destructive consequences because unity is very important for a human being, for a society, for a country. Wajahat believes such divisions are fuelled by multiple factors. There are many reasons for people to separate from each other. One reason is that you don't try to understand others. You are confined to your own community. You are not going out of your community. Another reason is that you have a complex of superiority. You are superior to others. The third reason is that you are being misinterpreted by history. You are being told that you were a victim. So, what needs to be done to promote communal harmony? The 80-year-old scholar, novelist and playwright believes the answer lies in what he calls a confidence-building exercise. The secular democratic people of both communities need to come together and plan confidence-building exercises. They need to institutionalize it. It used to be institutionalized before. For example, Holi and Eid meetings used to take place where people of both communities used to meet and greet each other. They used to eat sweets together, Wajahat says, adding that everyday interaction remains crucial to restoring mutual respect. Understanding each other and coming closer to each other needs to be done at the level of the common people. Not at the level of the intellectuals. If there are confidence-building exercises, communities will come together, the veteran writer signs off.

Women's Jr Asia Cup: India begin title defence with 4-1 win over South Korea
Moqi (China), Sep 5 (IANS) The Indian Junior Womens Hockey Team began their title defence at the Junior Asia Cup China 2026 on a winning note, defeating South Korea 4-1 in their opening match in Moqi on Saturday. The defending champions, who have won the last two editions of the Womens Junior Asia Cup, delivered a composed and dominant performance against South Korea, with Sanika Chandrakant Mane, Purnima Yadav, Puja Sahoo and Madhu Sidar finding the back of the net for India. India started the contest with intent and created several opportunities in the opening quarter. Their efforts were rewarded in the 8th minute when Sanika Chandrakant Mane opened the scoring, giving India an early 1-0 lead. The Indian side continued to put pressure on the South Korean defence and earned two penalty corners in the opening quarter, including one in the 14th minute, but were unable to convert either opportunity. India maintained their advantage at the end of the first quarter. India continued their attacking approach at the start of the second quarter and won another penalty corner within the opening five minutes. They were awarded a re-PC after the initial attempt, but India could not find the back of the net. South Korea responded with increased pressure and earned back-to-back penalty corners within a five-minute period as they sought an equaliser. However, the Indian defence remained resolute and kept the Korean attack at bay. India then regained control of proceedings and earned another penalty corner in the dying moments of the second quarter. This time, the Indian side executed a well-worked variation, with Purnima Yadav finishing the move in the 30th minute to double India's advantage and send the team into half-time with a 2-0 lead. South Korea came out with renewed intent in the third quarter, seeking a way back into the contest. However, India's defence held firm under pressure, while the Indian forwards continued to threaten on the counter. India's persistence was rewarded in the dying moments of the third quarter when they won another penalty corner and converted it. Puja Sahoo was on target to extend India's lead to 3-0. With a three-goal cushion, India continued to push forward in the final quarter and sought another goal. They won another penalty corner seven minutes into the quarter, but the South Korean defence held firm against India's attacking threat. Korea also cleared another penalty corner as India continued to dominate possession and territory. The Indian onslaught eventually paid off in the 51st minute when Madhu Sidar found the back of the net, making it 4-0. South Korea continued to fight until the final whistle and pulled one goal back with just four minutes remaining. Following another penalty corner, Korea executed a variation that led to KIL Gabin scoring in the 57th minute. India, however, held firm in the closing stages to secure a convincing 4-1 victory, beginning their campaign with three points. The Indian Junior Womens Hockey Team will next face Malaysia on Sunday in their second match of the Womens Junior Asia Cup China 2026.

Mohanlal and Arjun Rampal to share screen in 'Operation Ganga' about India
Highlights Mohanlal has announced Operation Ganga , his next film with Meppadiyan director Vishnu Mohan Arjun Rampal joins Mohanlal alongside Bhagyashri Borse, Parthiban and Adil Hussain The first-look poster hints at a military-driven story involving national duty The makers have kept the characters and plot details under wraps Dhurandhar composer Shashwat Sachdev is set to score the film Mohanlal has announced his next project, Operation Ganga , bringing together an intriguing cast led by the Malayalam superstar and featuring Arjun Rampal in a key role. Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Vishnu Mohan, the film marks their first collaboration and already has fans wondering what kind of high-stakes story is being prepared. The casting of Rampal, in particular, adds another layer of intrigue. While the makers have confirmed the ensemble, they have revealed little about the characters. So, when Mohanlal and Rampal eventually share the screen, will they be working towards the same mission or could their characters find themselves on opposite sides? Arjun Rampals role is still under wraps Rampal joins Operation Ganga alongside Bhagyashri Borse, Parthiban and Adil Hussain. However, character details have not yet been disclosed, making his role one of the film's biggest unanswered questions. The first-look poster offers a few clues without giving away the story. It features a giant female statue holding a sword and shield above a city, with thick clouds surrounding the structure and a fighter jet flying alongside it. The imagery points towards military action, national duty and potentially enormous stakes, but it does not reveal where each character fits into the story. Is Operation Ganga inspired by a real-life mission? The title immediately recalls India's evacuation mission during the Russia-Ukraine war, when the government launched Operation Ganga to bring stranded Indian citizens back home. While the makers have not revealed the complete plot, the title and first-look imagery suggest that the film will explore a mission involving national interests and high-pressure circumstances. Exactly how closely the story will draw from real events remains to be seen. That uncertainty could also make the Mohanlal-Rampal pairing particularly interesting. With neither actor's character fully explained, audiences will have to wait to discover whether they are allies, rivals or simply two players caught up in the same dangerous operation. Vishnu Mohan reunites with a much bigger canvas Operation Ganga is Vishnu Mohan's second feature as a director after Meppadiyan , his 2022 Malayalam film starring Unni Mukundan. The filmmaker won the National Film Award for Best Debut Film of a Director for the movie. His follow-up brings a considerably larger ensemble and a more action-oriented setting, with Mohanlal leading the project. Adding further anticipation is Dhurandhar composer Shashwat Sachdev, who has been announced as the film's music composer. His involvement has already sparked excitement among fans following his work on the Ranveer Singh-led film. For now, the biggest details surrounding Operation Ganga remain a mystery. But with Mohanlal and Arjun Rampal at the centre of the cast, the question of where their characters stand could become one of the film's most intriguing reveals.
