5th August 2019 will be remembered as a historical day when the article 370 was abrogated and &K State reduced to the status of Union Territory. The Article 370 of Indian constitution would grant a special status to the erstwhile state of J&K. After 1953, particularly after 1964, the article had lost its sheen and strength due to various amendments made in this article by the competent authority on the recommendations of the local rulers/SLA from time to time when the Indian National Congress was ruling at the centre. The former PM. Late Sh. Morar-ji Desai had once said that Article 370 giving special status and powers to J&K state has become an empty shell. Even SMA during his tenure as CM had said that article 370 is not a divine article that could not be abrogated. Yes, also the article was misused by the local rulers to fulfil their vested interests after keeping the intervention of the central government at bay. The people of the Union Territory have always been suffering due to the miss-governance of local rulers since 1947 even when the Article 370 was in place. The governments of all times would depend on the central aid and subsidies. The state has always been deficient in revenue and was not sufficient to even meet the salaries of their employees. Our local rulers have so far failed to lay a strong economic base to improve the financial position of erstwhile state. They have never tried to exploit our resources to gain the economic stability. We are deficient in state owned electricity production, our lakes are shrinking and some are on the verge of extinction. Our rich forests have already been damaged. Due to wrong urban development planning the wetlands are extinct. Even few hours of rain poses threat of floods in the Srinagar city. We are facing environmental problems. There is shortage of drinking water and some time we even fail to supply pure drinking water. There is every apprehension that the situation will further deteriorate in the future times due to global warming. Our agriculture land has also shrunk that has lead to decrease in agriculture production particularly rice. There has been a reckless conversion of agriculture land into residential and commercial use, despite of limits fixed by revenue act. We have become mostly dependent on outside labour in all types of economic activities. Our UT is second after Punjab in drug trafficking and drug addiction. However it is appreciable that the Present Governor is taking personal interest in controlling this menace on top priority. The article 370 had given special powers to rulers of erstwhile state to run the affairs of their government but they failed to utilise these privileges for maximum benefit and welfare of the people of the state. On 5th August 2026, the workers of different local political parties of UT organised programmes with mixed reactions, after the period of seven years of the abrogation of Article 370 and creation of Union Territory. Mostly they demanded the revival of statehood for J&K. It is also alleged that this was done with the pre-consultation of the important leaders of the local political parties. The meeting of the president of N.C along with its vice president and their legal adviser and then sitting M.P with the prime minister of India a few days before the abrogation of article 370, substantiates the allegations of consent given by some important local leaders who would matter in the day to day politics of the valley could not be brushed aside. The workers of BJP no doubt celebrated this day as a watershed in the political history of J&K and claim it as their partys victory for its total and complete merger with the union of India after abrogation of article 370. Yes the leaders of political parties are mostly demanding now the revival of statehood not with the intention to improve the welfare of common people but to gain more powers to exert their authority. Nobody is asking for protection of our cultural identity, heritage, land and employment for the locals as was envisaged in 35A. No result oriented plan for the return of Kashmiri pundits have been chalked out so far by any political government. This community is an important part of our society. Our society is incomplete without their permanent return to valley. It would be better if benefits of Article 371 is granted before restoring statehood to protect our cultural identity, environment, natural resources and secure employment for our local youth. We need a controlled and quality tourism in view of our fragile environment and not mushroom growth of hotels. We need maximum but safe utilisation of our resources to boost our economy. Self-sufficiency in electricity for domestic consumption. Revival and quality promotion of handicrafts. Pollution free environment and supply of clean drinking water. We need disciplined and smooth flow of traffic, safe public transport and restoration of right to way for pedestrians by having footpaths on both sides of roads. Instead laying stress on useless slogan mongering and criticising each other, all the political parties need to concentrate now on the real development of the UT, nepotism and corruption free governance.

Court acquits two in 2022 Budgam NDPS case
Srinagar, July 29: The Special Court for NDPS Cases, Srinagar, has acquitted two accused in a 2022 narcotics case registered at Police Station Budgam, holding that the prosecution failed to establish their conscious and exclusive possession of the alleged contraband beyond reasonable doubt. Special Judge (NDPS Cases) Vinod Kumar pronounced the judgment on July 29, acquitting Shahnawaz Qadir Ganie of Hyderpora and Mohd Ayoub Sofi of Channa Mohalla, Hyderpora, presently residing at Narkarah, Budgam. The case arose from FIR No. 207/2022 registered under Sections 8/20, 21 and 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. According to the prosecution, police received information on June 23, 2022, about the alleged involvement of the accused in the trade of charas and contraband medicinal preparations. A search was subsequently conducted at the house of the first accused in the presence of an Executive Magistrate and other officials. The accused, Shahnawaz Qadir Ganie of Hyderpora and Mohd Ayoub Sofi of Channa Mohalla, Hyderpora, currently residing at Narkarah, Budgam, were represented by a defence team comprising Advocates Anil Raina, Mir Urfi, Waheed Dar, Zia-Ul-Rehan, Aqib Farooq and Bushra. Police claimed to have recovered a charas-like substance, 15 bottles of an unlabelled medicinal preparation allegedly containing codeine and 1.39 lakh in cash. However, the court found several gaps in the prosecution case, including discrepancies regarding the recovery, identification, weighing, sealing and transportation of the seized material. The court noted that the supervising Magistrate had disowned the alleged recovery from the persons of the accused. It also pointed to an unexplained six-day delay in sending samples to the laboratory and deficiencies concerning the carrier and receipt. Significantly, only two of the 15 bottles allegedly recovered were tested, while the remaining 13 were not subjected to examination. The court held that while individual discrepancies might not have been fatal, their cumulative effect created serious doubts about the prosecution case. It also found that the identity of the case property and an unbroken chain of custody from seizure to the laboratory had not been established. Relying on Supreme Court judgments, including Noor Aga and State of Punjab v. Baldev Singh, the court stressed that statutory safeguards under the NDPS Act must be strictly followed. The court also held that the alleged conspiracy under Section 29 of the NDPS Act had not been proved. Accordingly, Ganie and Sofi were acquitted of the charges by extending to them the benefit of doubt and were discharged from their bail bonds. The court directed that the seized material and samples be preserved until expiry of the appeal period and thereafter dealt with in accordance with law. The seized cash of 1.39 lakh was also ordered to be dealt with according to law after the appeal period.

Search For Head Of Sports Science & Medicine At CoE Is On As Top Candidates Back Out: VVS Laxman
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has hit a major roadblock in its attempt to appoint a Head of Sports Science and Medicine (SSM) at its Centre of Excellence (CoE), with multiple high-profile international candidates backing out after nearing agreement. Speaking to reporters at the high-performance facility, CoE head VVS Laxman disclosed that despite extensive global recruitment drives, top choices, including a leading Australian expert and the former sports science head of the famous All Blacks rugby team, withdrew from the process at the final stage. The SSM head post has been vacant since Nitin Patel, the former India mens team physio, left the facility after March 2025. I think we have done a very extensive interview process. Andrew was part of the interview process when Nitin was selected in 2012. That's why we reached out to Andrew the moment we got to know that Nitin didn't want to continue or his term was getting finished. Andrew almost agreed and then backed out. Now, the second interview process was an extensive one. I can share, the first candidate was from Australia. The second and third candidates are already working at the CoE. Now, it's our responsibility to upskill them while looking to identify someone of that stature and experience and knowledge. So that process, it's not that the BCCI is not looking now for the suitable candidate, but you have to find the right candidate, said Laxman. Highlighting the scarcity of qualified personnel capable of managing elite athletes, BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia acknowledged the difficulty in finding an expert who meets the board's high benchmarks. In fact, it's a rare commodity to fit into that position. So we have our technical persons who are at a certain standard. So the person who will be heading the sports sector, he must be much better than them. So there are very limited people, not only in India but across the world. Therefore, we are facing some problems in spite of repeated processes being done. We are not getting the right candidate. So, because of the shortage and acute shortage, I should say, we are not getting the person. But the process is on to find the right candidate. Tracing the timeline of recruitment failures since Patel's exit, Laxman revealed that multiple global specialists pulled out due to personal reasons and unwillingness to commit to a full-time, on-site role in Bengaluru. Unfortunately, after Nitin left as the head of sports science, we didn't get anyone who can fill in that shoes or position. We had Andrew Leipus (who previously worked as Indian team physio and is now with IPL team Punjab Kings). In fact, everything was agreed upon. Devajit had with him two or three meetings and everything was agreed upon. Suddenly Andrew at the last moment citing family reasons backed off. Then we conducted a full fledged interview process where we had Dr. Dinshaw (Pardiwala), Dr. Ashish Soni and Dr. Rohan Khavte and myself, where we shortlisted five candidates out of which the number one, I don't want to name him, was an Australian. After selecting him, suddenly he backed out saying that he cannot move to Bangalore because one of the important reason and condition is it's a full time job. It is not a consultant or a part time one. You want that person to be here because like I'm here because it's a day to day monitoring. It cannot happen as a periodic monitoring, and unfortunately, that professional also didn't join. Then there was another professional who was the head of sports science of All Blacks. We engaged with him and he almost agreed. At the last moment, he backed out, he explained. Despite the vacancy at the helm, Laxman praised the existing internal team for stepping up and restructuring the department into localized operational units. So to fill in that position, you require someone not necessarily of the stature or experience, but the knowledge and understanding of Indian cricketers. It cannot happen as a periodic monitoring, and unfortunately, that professional also didn't join. Then there was another professional who was the head of sports science of All Blacks. We engaged with him and he almost agreed. At the last moment, he backed out, he explained. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Reiterating that the BCCI will not compromise on quality merely to fill the slot, Laxman confirmed that the hunt for the right candidate remains active. I think the lookout is there, but you have to find someone who is qualified and capable enough to take up that position. I think that that lookout is still there. So we require to definitely fill in that position and the suitable candidate has to be identified and I think that lookout is still there. Article Source: IANS

Village Talent Will Now Get A Platform: Ramandeep Hails Sher-e-Punjab T20 League
Punjab T20 League: Cricketer Ramandeep Singh believes the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League will provide a much-needed platform for talented cricketers from villages across the state, allowing them to showcase their abilities in front of a wider audience. Speaking on the sidelines of the player auction for the inaugural Sher-e-Punjab T20 League in Chandigarh on Sunday, Ramandeep said the league would help bridge the gap between emerging players at the grassroots level and the wider cricketing audience. Earlier, I think, the talent did not get a chance to come on TV because only the IPL and international-level cricket were telecast. Now, with the league initiative started by Punjab Cricket, we are very thankful to the Punjab government and especially the PCA, because they have given us this platform where talent from the villages will be seen on TV, Ramandeep told reporters. The player auction is currently underway at a hotel in Chandigarh, with more than 450 cricketers going under the hammer for six franchises. Each team has a purse of Rs 45 lakh for the auction. The Sher-e-Punjab T20 League will feature six teams and is scheduled to be played from August 30 to September 13 at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium in Mohali. Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) president Amarjit Singh Mehta said the league was the fulfilment of a vision to take sport to every part of the state. This league was the dream of our Chief Minister. He wanted to build a big league for Punjab, and his dream is going to come true today. He wanted to bring sports to every village in Punjab, Mehta said. The entire Punjab Cricket Association team worked together to bring this league to this level. There are six teams in the league, featuring marquee players, icon players and district players. The opening ceremony will be held on August 30 and the closing ceremony on September 13, he added. Indian Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill, all-rounder Abhishek Sharma, left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh, wicketkeeper-batter Prabhsimran Singh, Ramandeep Singh and young pacer Gurnoor Brar have been named the marquee players for the six franchises.

Amit Uniyal Appointed Punjab Mens Head Coach As PCA Overhauls Coaching Staff
Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy: In a major administrative shake-up ahead of the 2026/27 domestic season, the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) has overhauled its senior men's coaching staff and named former left-arm seamer Amit Uniyal as the new head coach in place of Sandeep Sharma. Alongside Uniyal, the PCA appointed TP Singh as the batting coach, Harmeet Singh as the bowling coach, and Manish Sharma as the fielding coach. They replace Uday Kaul, Gagandeep Singh, and Sandeep Sanwal, respectively. Uniyal, who represented Punjab in 29 First-Class and 46 List A matches, represented Rajasthan Royals in 2009 IPL. He now becomes Punjab's fourth head coach in four seasons following short stints by Aavishkar Salvi, Wasim Jaffer, and Sandeep Sharma. The overhaul comes on the back of Punjab's persistent struggles in red-ball cricket. While the side lifted the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy in 2023/24, their Ranji Trophy record has been dismal, securing just three wins against ten losses across the last three seasons. Since everyone wants to play in the IPL nowadays, they focus more on T20 cricket. But we have the potential, we have the talent, all we need is to play as a unit. We want to do better in red-ball cricket this time, and for that, you need bowlers who can take 20 wickets. So we will work towards that, Uniyal was quoted as saying by Cricinfo on Saturday. Since the end of his playing days, Uniyal has been part of various coaching set-ups and selection committees for Chandigarh. He was their assistant coach in the 2020/21 season and then chairman of selectors last season. Since everyone wants to play in the IPL nowadays, they focus more on T20 cricket.
