Punjab cop murder case: Main accused killed in police encounter; Pakistan link under probe
Digital Desk | Amritsar, Sep 20 (IANS) One of the accused in the Punjab Police ASI Harjit Singh murder case was killed in an encounter late at night, officials said on Sunday. While one of the main accused was killed in an encounter, his accomplice managed to escape by taking advantage of the darkness, Punjab Police Commissioner Harmanveer Singh Gill said during a late-night interaction with the media. ASI Harjit Singh was killed while performing his duty on September 18. Following the killing, police teams had been working to identify and apprehend those involved. A high alert was subsequently issued across the city and adjoining areas, with intensive toll checking. Police received specific information that the suspects were moving in the area and could be looking for another target. According to Commissioner Gill, when a police team signalled two suspects travelling on a scooter to stop at the Tarn Taran/Thanda Road naka, they allegedly opened fire at the police personnel instead. The suspects were chased, and after abandoning their scooter at another location, they fired at the police team again. The attackers fired four rounds, two of which struck the police vehicle. Another bullet hit a CIA officer in the chest. The officer survived as he was wearing a bulletproof jacket. Police then returned fire in self-defence, firing six rounds, during which one of the suspects was hit. He was rushed towards a hospital but died on the way and was declared dead by doctors. Based on preliminary identification and investigation, his age was estimated to be between 25 and 28 years. The second suspect escaped under the cover of darkness. Police have launched a combing operation to trace and apprehend him. Commissioner Gill also alleged that the murder was part of a conspiracy involving Pakistan-based handlers. According to him, the youths were lured with promises of money and a share in the illegal drug trade. The handlers demanded proof of loyalty by targeting police personnel. Investigators also found that after shooting ASI Harjit Singh, the accused allegedly returned to the crime scene and recorded a 3040 second video to send to their overseas handlers as proof that the task had been completed. The act was reportedly captured on CCTV, while forensic examination of mobile phones is underway. Commissioner Gill appealed to parents to closely monitor their childrens activities and protect them from being exploited through social media, drugs and criminal networks.

The Borrowed Pyjama and the Borrowed State
In Thursdays Greater Kashmir, Haseeb Drabu did something rare in our public life. He took a silly quarrel seriously, and in doing so showed us how silly it is. The quarrel began with the claim that a whole village once shared a single pyjama. It has since produced effigies, memes, one apology from one NC legislator, regret from another, and a Chief Ministers refusal to apologise at all. Drabus point is that civilisation and poverty are not opposites. Egypt built its high culture on forced labour, and Bengal had a refined court while people starved. Antiquity, as he puts it, is not a savings account. I agree with his history. I want to take his argument one step further, because the pyjama quarrel is not really about the past. It is about what we cannot bring ourselves to say about the present. What the old men knew I grew up in Lolab, where poverty was lived, not read about. The generation before mine did not need Walter Lawrence to tell them what the Dogra years were like. They carried it in their bodies: the walk to the city in borrowed clothes, the pulhoad, a straw sandal woven for feet that had no leather, and the harvest counted out to the last handful before the cultivator saw his share. When the old men said akh yezar poore mohallas, one pyjama for the whole mohalla, nobody was being mocked. It was the humour of survivors, the kind that makes hardship bearable by making it laughable. So Tanvir Sadiq was not inventing anything. Omar Abdullah is right that the poverty is well documented. The Big Landed Estates Abolition Act of 1950, which gave land to the tiller, was a real revolution. It changed rural Kashmir more deeply than most land reforms anywhere in the subcontinent. No honest history of Kashmir can leave it out. And yet the remark hurt. It is worth asking why. Why it hurt Drabu calls it a semiotic hijack: a sign of poverty rewritten as a sign of shame. That is true, but it doesnt explain who was ready to be hijacked, or why. A people who feel secure in the present can laugh about the past. The Irish joke about the famine years, and the Punjabi farmer laughing about his grandfathers single kurta. Kashmiris could not laugh this time, because the remark landed on an open wound. That wound is not 1930. It is 2019 and everything since. In 2019 we were told, in effect, that we would now be governed in borrowed clothes. The state became a Union Territory. The elected government has a title but limited powers. Statehood is promised, then postponed, then promised again. Our young people carry degrees the way their great-grandfathers carried borrowed pyjamas: to look complete in public while being incomplete in fact. The unemployment, the drug crisis among the young, and the brain drain are the pyjama shortages of our time. We have not yet found the Sheikh Abdullah who will end them. When a ruling-party spokesperson reminds a people with borrowed statehood that they once had borrowed trousers, the listener does not hear history. He hears a comparison. He hears: be grateful, you have come far. A man who feels he has recently gone backwards will not take that kindly. The five-thousand-year reflex The reaction was no more honest than the remark. The PDPs answer, that a 5,000-year-old civilisation had been reduced to trivia, is exactly what Drabu diagnoses: If the political self feels smaller, the cultural self is asked to stand in for it. Lalitaditya, Abhinavagupta, Lal Ded and Nund Rishi are not a reply to anything. They are what we reach for when we have nothing to say about today. The BJP burning a naked effigy in Srinagar deserves only one sentence. A party that has spent seven years dismantling the political dignity of Kashmiris has no standing to defend their sartorial dignity. What should trouble us most is that every party found this fight comfortable. Arguing about 1930 is safe, because it costs nothing, risks nothing and promises nothing. Arguing about 2026 is dangerous, because it requires a plan. Since 1950 the National Conference has lived off the land-to-tiller reform. That is a proud inheritance, but an inheritance is not an income, and a party that keeps citing a reform from 76 years ago is telling us something about its record since. The opposition, in turn, prefers wounded pride to a policy. Both are fighting over the old wardrobe because neither has anything new to offer. A soldiers reading In the Army we were taught that a units morale depends less on what it has than on whether it trusts that its leaders are honest about what it lacks. A commander who tells his men there is no ammunition shortage when there is one loses them. So does a commander who spends the briefing recalling how much worse the last war was. Kashmir today needs neither denial nor nostalgia. It needs an honest briefing. That means an account of what we have: the literacy, the roads and the grandchildren of cultivators who are now doctors and engineers, much of it thanks to 1950. It also means an account of what we lack: political authority, jobs for the educated young, trust in institutions, and a future that does not depend on Delhis goodwill. Faiz wrote, aur bhi dukh hain zamane mein mohabbat ke siwa: the world has other sorrows than love. Kashmir has other sorrows than a pyjama. That the whole political class spent a fortnight on this one tells us which sorrows they would rather not be asked about. What we might do instead Let me suggest three things, in the spirit Drabu opened. First, let history be history. The poverty of the Dogra years belongs in our schools and archives, told plainly and without embarrassment. A people who are ashamed of having been poor will never understand how they stopped being poor. Our grandparents borrowed pyjamas are a mark of endurance, not disgrace. Second, retire the anniversary politics. Commemorations of Sheikh Abdullah should ask what the land-to-tiller reform of our generation would be. Is it a jobs guarantee for graduates? A real rehabilitation programme for the young lost to drugs? A united, non-partisan demand for statehood with a deadline? Any of these would honour him more than defending a sentence about trousers. Third, speak about dignity where it is actually at stake. It is not threatened by a folk saying. It is threatened by the absence of elected authority, by laws that treat suspicion as proof, and by a young generation that sees no road ahead. If our parties shared a fraction of the outrage they spent on the pyjama remark and turned it on these questions, Kashmir would be better served. Tailpiece Drabu closes with the Kashmiri phrase phirith pheran tshunun, to wear the pheran inside out: blaming someone else for your own fault. It fits this quarrel perfectly. Everyone has turned the garment inside out. The ruling party blames history for the offence, the opposition blames the ruling party for insulting civilisation, and the BJP blames everyone while holding the keys to the wardrobe. The old men of my village, if they were alive, would find all this very funny. They had one pyjama and no illusions. We have many pyjamas and not much else. Iqbal saw both the civilisation and the poverty and did not pretend that one cancelled the other. He wrote in the voice of Mulla Zada Zaigham Lolabi, a poet he imagined from my own Lolab: Aaj woh Kashmir hai mehkoom-o-majboor-o-faqeer Kal jise ahl-e-nazar kehte the Iran-e-sagheer Today that Kashmir is subjugated, helpless and poor, which only yesterday the discerning called Little Iran. Keh raha hai dastaan bedardi-e-ayyam ki Koh ke daaman mein woh gham-khana-e-dehqaan-e-peer It tells the story of a pitiless age, the old peasants hut of sorrow in the mountains lap. Iqbal put the lament and the hunger in the same couplet. We keep them in separate quarrels. The day our leaders speak of Little Iran and the old peasants hut in one breath, and do something about the hut, Kashmir will not need anyones permission to be proud.

Bukhari seeks review of J&K reservation policy
Srinagar, September 19: Apni Party president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Saturday called for a review and rationalisation of the reservation policy in Jammu and Kashmir, saying it should ensure fair representation of different sections of society. Speaking to reporters after inaugurating an exhibition in Srinagar, Bukhari said the existing policy was, in his view, not judicious and needed to be reviewed. My stand on the reservation issue is clear: reservation should be based on population, ensuring fair and equitable representation of different sections of society, he said. The exhibition featured young entrepreneurs and exhibitors from Srinagar, Jammu, Delhi and Punjab, who showcased a range of products, including handicrafts and jewellery. Bukhari said such events provided young people with exposure and opportunities to develop business ideas and explore new avenues. He also described the participation of exhibitors from different parts of the country as a positive sign of national integration and said such platforms helped showcase local products and talent.

Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 19 (IANS) In its third major strike within four days, Punjab Polices Counter Intelligence (CI) Amritsar has busted another cross-border narcotics smuggling module with the arrest of three key operatives and recovered 17 kg of heroin from their possession, Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav said on Saturday.

Fight decisive battle against drugs: Shivraj Singh Chouhan to Punjabis
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 19 (IANS) Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday called on the people of Punjab to fight a decisive battle against drugs. Punjab is currently going through a serious drug crisis. Drugs have devastated many families and ruined the lives and futures of numerous young people, Chouhan said in a video message posted on X. Under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) slogan Eradicate Drugs, the party is organising the Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra across Punjab. The campaign began on September 18 in Madhopur, Pathankot. As part of the campaign, yatras are being taken out from four locations. After offering prayers at Takht Sri Damdama Sahib in Talwandi Sabo, Chouhan and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini will flag off the fourth yatra on September 21. Expressing concern over the drug crisis ahead of his Punjab visit, Chouhan said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab had failed badly in addressing the problem. He said the time had now come for the people of Punjab to wage a decisive battle against drugs. With this objective, the BJP is organising its Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra from September 18 to September 30. Appealing to the people of Punjab, Chouhan said, My sisters and brothers of Punjab, elders, sons and daughters, come forward and participate in this yatra in large numbers to make Punjab drug-free. Let us fight a decisive battle against drugs so that Punjab can be made drug-free. Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday flagged off the second Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra from Fatehgarh Sahib town. She said, When Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann came to power in Punjab, they promised to eliminate drugs from the state within three months. The deadline was extended, first by three months and then by four months, and has now been extended six times. A government that keeps giving new deadlines cannot be expected to eradicate drugs. Gupta added that the 13-day yatra would become a campaign to free Punjab from the AAP government. Before launching the yatra, she paid obeisance at a historic gurdwara located on the sacred land that witnessed the martyrdom of the younger Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh.

Digital Desk | Amritsar, Sep 19 (IANS) BJP Rajya Sabha member Raghav Chadha made a late-night stop at Amritsar's famous Giani Tea Stall, where he enjoyed a cup of traditional Amritsari tea and engaged in conversations with locals about the political situation in Punjab. Giani Tea Stall is a popular and widely known spot in Amritsar, particularly famous for its traditional Amritsari tea. The tea stall has also gained popularity on social media, making it a recognisable stop for visitors looking to experience the city's local food and tea culture. Sharing photographs of his visit on X on Saturday, Chadha said, After wrapping up the day's schedule, I reached the famous Giani Tea Stall in Amritsar. Amid sips of tea, discussions on Punjab's politics stretched late into the night with folks around. He also added a light-hearted line about tea and addiction while sharing the pictures from the visit. Nahse mei naash hai, chai mei vishwas hai. Kuch logo mei bhram hai, lekin chai mei dum hai (Roughly translated to -- Ruined by addiction, belief in tea; some have illusions, but tea has strength!) Chadha added. Earlier on Friday, Chadha joined BJP National President Nitin Nabin in Pathankot to flag off the Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra. The programme focuses on the drug crisis gripping the state and the suffering of affected families. Taking to X, he wrote that he had met families living through the devastating impact of drugs and described their stories as a painful reminder of the human cost of the crisis. Drugs don't just destroy lives. They destroy families, he said. The MP alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab had promised to eradicate the drug menace but had failed to deliver. He claimed that over the last four and a half years the problem had increased significantly. According to him, the supply of drugs, particularly chitta, has boomed and continues to flow freely through the state. The Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra was flagged off in Pathankot in the presence of BJP National President Nitin Nabin. The campaign aims to highlight the scale of the drug problem and mobilise public opinion against it.

Ravneet Bittu detained after protesting near CM Manns cavalcade in Ludhiana
Digital Desk | Ludhiana, Sep 19 (IANS) Former Union Minister and BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu was detained by Punjab Police on Saturday after he protested near the Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) gate when Chief Minister Bhagwant Manns cavalcade was passing through the area. Bittu held up a bottle towards the Chief Ministers convoy, saying that he was returning the bottle to the Chief Minister and asking him to enjoy his liquor while allowing Arvind Kejriwal to loot Punjab from Delhi. The incident took place as CM Mann arrived at PAU for the Kisan Mela. Bittu also returned the eggs and tomatoes that were allegedly thrown at his cavalcade near Batala town on Friday while he was travelling for the BJPs Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra. He had alleged that his convoy was attacked on Friday and that vehicles in his cavalcade were damaged. Speaking after the protest, Bittu said: Yesterday eggs and tomatoes were thrown at my cavalcade. Today I have returned them. If AAP workers are going to protest against BJP leaders, rallies and yatras, then BJP workers will also exercise their democratic right to protest against the Punjab government and its leaders. We will not remain silent. Bittu said the BJP would continue to raise issues concerning Punjab and would organise peaceful democratic protests outside the Chief Ministers programmes and offices whenever required. This is a clear message to the Punjab government: political opposition cannot be silenced through police action. BJP workers will answer every democratic protest democratically and will continue to stand with the people of Punjab, Bittu said. The BJP leader was subsequently detained by the police. A day earlier, after his convoy was pelted with tomatoes and eggs while en route to Pathankot to attend BJP national President Nitin Nabins flag-off of the partys Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra, Bittu pardoned all three people apprehended by his security team. Despite the seriousness of the incident, Bittu made it clear that such incidents cannot be allowed to undermine the democratic rights of political leaders and workers.

How can 70% population get 30% jobs? asks Altaf Bukhari
Srinagar, Sep 19: Apni Party president Altaf Bukhari on Saturday said reservation in Jammu and Kashmir should be based on population, arguing that the existing distribution amounts to injustice. My stand in this is very clear. My partys stand is very clear. Jiski jitni population hai usko utni reservation milni chahiye,Bukhari said while speaking about the reservation issue ahead of the autumn session of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. There should be no injustice. There is injustice. There is absolutely injustice. How can it be that 70% of the population is given 30% of the jobs? he said. Bukhari said he did not want to comment on who was responsible for the situation but maintained that the present arrangement was detrimental to the region. Now, whose responsibility it is and whose it is not, I do not know, he said. What I know is that if you ask me as a resident of Srinagar, I feel this is totally against Srinagar. If you ask me as a resident of Kashmir, I will say this is against Kashmir. If you ask me as a resident of Jammu and Kashmir, I will say this is against Jammu and Kashmir. On the upcoming Assembly session, Bukhari said people expected legislators to raise issues that directly affected their lives. People always have expectations that some good things in their favour will be discussed in the Assembly, which will directly benefit the people, he said. Describing the short session as an important political occasion, Bukhari said, I wish them all the best to the legislators who are meeting tomorrow in this Valley for a short span of time, but nevertheless, it is an important milestone in the political activity. Bukhari also spoke about an exhibition featuring young exhibitors from Jammu, Srinagar, Delhi and Punjab, saying it conveyed messages of national integration while providing a platform for local talent. One is a message of national integration. The second is that we are showcasing Kashmir, he said. He added that the initiative was encouraging young people and giving them ideas about opportunities available to them. It provides encouragement to our young boys and girls. They get encouragement and ideas about how to do it, Bukhari said.

Kashmirs enduring quest for compassionate governance
The history of Kashmir is not merely a chronicle of conquests and conflicts but also a testament to visionary leaders who prioritized human welfare amid adversity. These figures understood that true governance transcends power. It involves restoring dignity, reviving economies, and fostering equity in one of the worlds most beautiful yet vulnerable regions. In the 15th century, Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin, popularly known as Budshah or the Great King, illuminated this path. Ascending the throne, he ushered in nearly five decades of peace and prosperity. It is within this tradition of welfare-oriented leadership that Colonel Mihan Singh, famously known as Kumedan Mihan Singh under Sikh Rule (1819-1846), occupies a distinctive place. A veteran Sikh soldier known for administrative acumen and unwavering dedication, he was appointed governor of Kashmir in April 1834 by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The timing was critical: the valley was reeling from drought, famine, and widespread devastation. Reports of suffering had troubled the Maharaja, prompting the dispatch of a capable hand to restore order. Upon reaching Srinagar, Mihan Singh encountered a heartbreaking scene. A city plunged into darkness without lights, devoid of livestock, and overwhelmed by decay and despair. Historian accounts note that the sight left him unable to eat for three days. Yet this soldier-administrator did not succumb to despondency. He launched a comprehensive reconstruction drive that addressed immediate survival while laying foundations for long-term recovery. His governorship under Sikh Rule, lasting until his tragic death in 1841, is remembered as a period of benevolent and equitable rule that left an indelible mark on Kashmiri memory. Crisis response and economic revival Mihan Singhs first emphasis was combating acute famine. Acting swiftly on directions from Ranjit Singh, he imported 20,000 maunds of corn from Punjab. He supplemented this by purchasing additional grain from Muzaffarabad, Rajouri, and Kishtwar at Rs. 16 per kharwar, then selling it to the starving populace at the subsidized rate of Rs. 3 per kharwar. This intervention prevented mass starvation and restored public confidence. To rebuild rural economies, he imported cows, sheep, poultry, and eggs, distributing them among peasants. His frequent tours across the valley motivated farmers to resume cultivation, backed by promises of lenient taxation that encouraged widespread sowing. He tackled market malpractices head-on. Hoarders were compelled to sell stocks publicly. Mihan Singhs swift justice system became legendary. He emphasized fairness and efficiency. He appointed Pandit Ganesh Dhar to head the Revenue Department. During two extensive valley-wide tours, he personally oversaw tax collectors, remitted old balances from Raja Sukh Jeewans era (six seers per kharwar from one lakh kharwars of taqqavi and seed loans), and fixed laborers shares at nine seers per kharwar. Grain was sold at Rs. 2 per kharwar in some cases. Harsh penalties, including amputation for adulteration, enforced integrity. After discovering a short-weighed shali basket, he ordered public punishment to set an example. He introduced standardized stone and iron measures for accuracy in trade. Social equity was a hallmark of his tenure. He abolished the burdensome Muslim marriage tax, promoted access to justice by appointing 20 thanedars for swift case resolution, and reinstated jagirs worth one lakh kharwars to religious communities. Infrastructure development flourished under his watch: bridges over the Jhelum at Khannabal, Bijbihera, and Pampur were rebuilt, canals and bunds repaired, and Basant Bagh founded, enhancing both utility and urban beauty. Within two years, shali prices had fallen to Rs. 1 per kharwar, a remarkable achievement. He advanced interest-free loans for agricultural improvement and worked to re-establish trade and industry, measures that particularly benefited the Muslim population and mitigated famines long-term scars. Colonel Mihan Singhs reputation for justice, swift decision-making, and dedication earned him widespread respect. Kashmiris across communities viewed his rule as fair and compassionate. When he was assassinated in 1841 during a mutiny, the populace lamented his death deeply. His loss was mourned as that of a genuine benefactor who had brought relief and order to a suffering land. His relevance today In the 21st century, Kashmir continues to grapple with aspirations for peace, development, sustainable agriculture, tourism revival, and inclusive growth. Colonel Mihan Singhs model offers a powerful blueprint. His hands-on crisis management, importing and subsidizing essentials while distributing livestock, demonstrates how decisive action can avert humanitarian disasters in a region prone to climate vulnerabilities and supply disruptions. His agricultural revival through tours, loans, and tax leniency highlights the value of connecting directly with farmers, a need as pressing today as in the 1830s amid modernization efforts. Economically, his enforcement of fair measures, anti-hoarding drives, and price stabilization speak to contemporary demands for transparent markets and curbing exploitation. Infrastructure initiatives like bridge and canal repairs parallel todays needs for resilient connectivity and irrigation in the face of environmental challenges. Abolishing regressive taxes and supporting crafts and trade underscore the importance of equitable policies that bridge communities and boost livelihoods, particularly for marginalized sections. Mihan Singhs humanized approach, combining firmness with gestures of mourning, reflects the empathy required to build public trust in a politically sensitive landscape. Kashmir needs administrators who deliver visible results, enforce accountability without alienating people, and prioritize welfare over bureaucratic inertia. These elements remind modern leaders that economic focus must be complemented by attention to social cohesion, institutional morale, and long-term stability. Kashmirs history, from Zain-ul-Abidins tolerance to Mihan Singhs revival under Sikh Rule, reveals a consistent truth: the valley flourishes under leaders who act with authenticity, courage, and a genuine commitment to people. In an age seeking good governance, reduced corruption, and shared prosperity, administrators embodying Mihan Singhs spirit, decisive yet compassionate, reformist yet rooted in ground realities, can help realize the regions immense potential. His story is not just historical. It is a call for leadership that heals, builds, and unites. Kashmir deserves such stewards, leaders who see beyond challenges to the resilient spirit of its people and work tirelessly for their welfare.

Northern Railway's Jammu division to run 3 special trains to meet festival rush
Jammu, Sep 18: To meet the anticipated festival rush and facilitate passenger movement, the Northern Railway's Jammu division will operate three special trains connecting Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra, Jammu Tawi, Varanasi and New Delhi from next month. Terming the decision a ig gift to rail passengers, a railway spokesperson said the operation of the three reserved trains will help clear the extra rush and waiting list during Dussehra, Diwali and Chhath Puja. The Railway has decided to operate three pairs of reserved festival special trains via Jammu Division. The operation of these trains will not only make it easier for passengers to secure confirmed tickets but will also ensure a more comfortable and safe journey, the spokesman said. He said the first train, 04604/04603 Katra-Varanasi-Katra Special, will make nine trips in each direction. The train departing from Katra will run every Sunday from October 4 to November 29, at 6:15 PM, while the train departing from Varanasi will run every Tuesday from October 6 to December 1 at 4:30 AM, the spokesman said. He further said that the train will halt at Jammu Tawi, Pathankot Cantt, Jalandhar Cantt, Ludhiana, Ambala Cantt, Saharanpur, Moradabad, Bareilly, Alamnagar, Rae Bareli and Pratapgarh, among other stations. The spokesman said the second train, 04610/04609 Jammu Tawi-Varanasi-Jammu Tawi Special, will also make nine trips in each direction.

He said running of these trains would reduce pressure on regular trains and will provide relief to passengers from the rush for tickets during festivals.
Punjab Kings Wrap Up Four-day Off-season Conditioning Camp In Bengaluru
Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings on Friday said they have concluded a four-day off-season physical preparation camp aimed at sharpening player fitness and recovery ahead of the upcoming domestic season and their next Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign. The camp, conducted in collaboration with Stance Health from September 14 to 17, brought together several key franchise players including Shashank Singh, Priyansh Arya, Pyla Avinash, and Vishal Nishad. The sessions prioritised athletic readiness, integrating customized strength and conditioning routines, mobility drills, structured nutrition plans, and advanced recovery protocols. The short camp came after a skill-focused camp held in New Chandigarh last month, with the franchise planning further specialized training modules across the country as part of a year-round preparation cycle. This is the first fitness camp that has taken place this year. Everyone feels that the IPL is a three-month tournament, but it is not. It is a proper 12-month commitment for players competing at this level. If you want to compete with the best in one of the worlds top leagues, you have to work that hard. This camp is focused entirely on fitness, diet, and training, and we are making sure to tick all the boxes well ahead of the season, Shashank said in a statement by the franchise. Highlighting the structured daily routine, lower-order batting all-rounder Shashank added, In the morning we start with mobility and gym work, followed by a team lunch. In the evening we move into conditioning, and we finish the day with pool or recovery sessions. That routine gives us quality time together, and that is how we grow both as individuals and as a unit. Building strong bonds off the field is just as vital as our performance on it. Left-handed opener Arya noted that tailored physical management and rapid recovery still remain crucial factors for sustained performance. As the season approaches, our focus is to get as much quality training as possible and achieve peak physical condition. The facilities here, especially the dedicated physio support and strength and conditioning programmes, are tailored specifically for our individual needs. In modern cricket, fast and efficient recovery is what makes the real difference over a long season. He also praised the franchises active involvement in terms of player development during the off-season. The IPL might be played across three months, but Punjab Kings actively tracks our progress and supports us for the full nine months of the off-season. Whether we need to train in Mumbai, Bengaluru, or attend camps in Chandigarh, the franchise arranges everything within a day. Having that level of backing throughout the year gives a player immense confidence, he added. He also praised the franchises active involvement in terms of player development during the off-season. The IPL might be played across three months, but Punjab Kings actively tracks our progress and supports us for the full nine months of the off-season. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories The management, players, and owners treat us like family rather than just a professional setup, and that environment inspires you to give 110 percent on the field, he concluded.
