Assam Premier League A Launchpad For State's Hidden Cricketing Talent, Says Abu Nechim
The Assam Premier League: Former fast bowler Abu Nechim has hailed the Assam Premier League (APL) as a vital launchpad for the states emerging cricketers, adding that the newly launched franchise T20 tournament in the state will provide much-needed visibility to undiscovered local talent. The Assam Premier League is very important, it is a genuinely good platform for our juniors. We had over 270 players in the auction, and I had knowledge of only about 120 of them. That tells you the sheer depth of undiscovered talent across Assam. The league gives every one of those players a stage to be seen, Nechim said in a statement issued by the tournament on Wednesday. Nechim played for India in the 2006 U19 World Cup and apart from playing domestic cricket for Assam, he had stints with Mumbai Indians (20102013) and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (20142016) in the IPL.

J&K GST revenue falls 15% in June as collections slip to Rs 470 Crore
Jammu and Kashmir recorded a 15 per cent year-on-year decline in Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections in June 2026, with revenue falling to Rs 470 crore from Rs 552 crore in the corresponding month last year, according to the latest state-wise GST data released by the Union Finance Ministry. The Union Territory witnessed a decline of Rs 82 crore in GST collections during the month, even as the country's overall GST revenue continued to grow, indicating a mixed trend in tax collections across states and Union Territories. India's gross GST collections stood at Rs 1,34,774 crore in June 2026, compared with Rs 1,26,506 crore collected in June 2025, registering a year-on-year growth of 7 per cent. The increase reflects steady economic activity and improved tax compliance in several parts of the country. Jammu and Kashmir was among the states and Union Territories that reported a decline in GST collections during the month. Neighbouring Himachal Pradesh recorded a steeper fall of 26 per cent, with collections declining from Rs 895 crore to Rs 661 crore, while Uttarakhand registered a 21 per cent decline, collecting Rs 1,334 crore against Rs 1,688 crore in June last year. In contrast, Punjab posted a strong 14 per cent increase in GST revenue to Rs 2,491 crore from Rs 2,186 crore. Haryana recorded collections of Rs 10,065 crore, up 9 per cent, while Delhi reported an 8 per cent increase to Rs 5,987 crore. Chandigarh also registered a 7 per cent rise, collecting Rs 229 crore during the month. Ladakh also witnessed a decline in collections, with GST revenue falling 7 per cent from Rs 28 crore in June 2025 to Rs 26 crore in June 2026. Among the major states, Uttar Pradesh emerged as one of the best performers, recording a 19 per cent increase in GST collections to Rs 9,165 crore. Assam posted a 17 per cent rise to Rs 1,492 crore, Gujarat registered a 12 per cent increase to Rs 11,743 crore, while Karnataka collected Rs 12,937 crore, up 10 per cent over the previous year. Maharashtra, the country's largest contributor to GST revenue, collected Rs 30,714 crore, registering a growth of 9 per cent. On the other hand, Sikkim recorded the steepest decline in the country, with GST collections falling 53 per cent. Puducherry witnessed a 28 pe cent decline, while Jharkhand reported a 16 per cent fall. Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh also recorded declines of 5 per cent each. GST, introduced on July 1, 2017, replaced multiple indirect taxes with a unified tax system and has become one of the most important sources of revenue for both the Centre and the states. Monthly GST collections are considered a key indicator of economic activity, consumption and tax compliance. Experts note that monthly GST revenues can fluctuate due to factors such as seasonal business cycles, the timing of tax payments, refunds and compliance-related adjustments. Therefore, a decline in a single month does not necessarily indicate a broader slowdown in economic activity, though sustained weakness over several months could warrant closer attention. The latest figures show that while national GST collections remain on a growth trajectory, Jammu and Kashmir's revenue performance lagged behind the national average in June. The coming months will indicate whether the decline was temporary or reflects a broader trend in economic activity and tax mobilisation in the Union Territory.

Tourist rush grows at Dubjan, Peer Ki Gali, visitors seek better facilities
Shopian, July 19: Tourist footfall at the scenic destinations of Dubjan and Peer Ki Gali along the historic Mughal Road has witnessed a sharp rise this year, with thousands of visitors from across the country and different parts of Jammu and Kashmir flocking to the picturesque locations. Locals attributed the growing popularity of the destinations to the Winter Carnivals organised by the district administration in 2025 and 2026, which helped showcase Dubjan's tourism potential. Since then, visitor numbers have increased significantly during both the winter and summer seasons. Tourists praised the area's lush meadows, cool weather and serene surroundings but expressed concern over the lack of basic infrastructure. They pointed to the absence of public toilets, dustbins, mobile connectivity and proper waste management facilities, saying these shortcomings affect the overall visitor experience. A newly married couple from Rajasthan, who also visited Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Srinagar, described Dubjan as one of the most beautiful destinations in Kashmir but urged the government to develop essential tourist facilities. Safety has also emerged as a major concern, particularly near the stream adjoining the Dubjan bridge, where tourists frequently gather. Earlier this year, a three-year-old boy drowned after slipping into the stream, prompting fresh calls for protective railings and other safety measures. Social activist Mitha Gatto urged the administration to install permanent safety barriers around the bridge, while Wildlife Department employee Zubair Ahmad Punoo appealed to visitors, especially families with children, to exercise caution near the fast-flowing stream. Responding to the concerns, Chief Executive Officer of the Shopian-Dubjan-Peer Ki Gali Development Authority, Mohammad Rouf, said development works are constrained as much of the area falls under the Forest and Wildlife Departments. He said the authority is coordinating with the concerned departments to provide essential facilities, including toilets and other public amenities. Rouf also said a proposal has been submitted to the government for the construction of a Tourist Reception Centre (TRC) at Peer Ki Gali to cater to visitors from both the Shopian and Rajouri sides of the Mughal Road.

Straight from Homi Bhabha Block Mumbai
The incidence of cancer is not rare anymore in India. In the past two decades, the number of cancer patients has increased quite significantly in India. Though the Union Government as well as various state governments have set up many new medical colleges and healthcare centers, there are still thousands of patients from Jammu & Kashmir and many other parts of India that come to Mumbai to get treated at Tata Memorial Hospital. There are several good reasons why they choose to go there including trust, expertise, cost-effectiveness, and comprehensive care. The hospital uses modern technology along with a team of committed doctors, nurses, and other paramedical personnel. Both general as well as privately treated patients get the same amount of professional care. With the number of patients increasing day by day in Parel campus, many of the patients are referred to Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer (ACTREC), Khargar, Navi Mumbai. This center covers a huge area and provides advanced medical treatment along with residential facilities to those poor patients who cannot afford private lodging. People from all corners of the country, including Jammu & Kashmir, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and various states in South and West India can be seen coming here for treatment. The most challenging situation that a family can ever face is the time when cancer is diagnosed for the first time. For many, hearing about cancer means facing fear and uncertainty. They experience stress and lose their confidence. Their suffering becomes more when the doctors tell them that their kids will have to travel thousands of kilometers to get specialized treatment in Mumbai. The journey to Tata Memorial Centre usually starts from Homi Bhabha Block where patients are registered for admission in the hospital. Long queues of patients and their attendants stand patiently every morning in order to get themselves registered in the hospital. The patients are registered in general or private categories depending on their financial conditions. Financial help, subsidized drugs, and welfare assistance are available for many deserving children getting treatment in the hospital. But one thing that can never be measured in terms of medical instruments is the compassion of people inside the waiting room of Homi Bhabha Block. In case of a new patient who is shocked with so many people who are seeking treatment, he/she sits silently and feels scared inside. He/she will sit beside another patient/parent whose child has already received months of treatment without asking their religious belief, caste, language, and region. They might share some biscuits, tea or even some comforting words to the new arrivals. What type of cancer has been diagnosed in you? When did your treatment start? Dont lose hope and be courageous. Stick to the advice of the doctors. These sorts of conversations usually become the first form of psychological strength for the newly arrived people. In a matter of few minutes, the new people become a part of the companions and the fear starts fading away. The patients start preparing themselves psychologically for their chemotherapy, operation or radiotherapy. There are also various charitable organizations and NGOs that extend assistance to the patients, especially the kids. They usually give them free books, bags, writing material, ration packets, healthy food, counseling, playtime, yoga classes, and education. Parents sitting outside the paediatric oncology outpatient clinic usually show their utmost gratitude for the medical professionals treating their kids. They usually appreciate doctors for being a source of hope in one of the most trying times of their life. Doctors like Dr. Chetan Damnay, Dr. Aditya, Dr.Yaseen and Dr. Jain, among others, and their colleagues, try hard to offer specialized treatment to the children undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Progress of every treatment process is monitored and assessed through regular outpatient visits. The surgeons and other professionals in the surgery department, Dr. Sajid Qureshi and his colleagues, are equally respected for their dedication to the cause. Dedication of the nurses is not behind too. From injection to dressing, everything is done with professional excellence and efficiency. The wards maintain hygiene through out. Once a patient finishes chemotherapy, another is ready to take its place. Separate wards are reserved for children and adults, and patients from every economic and social class are treated without discrimination. Rich or poor, whether you are a government official, politician or labourer, everyone is treated with equal care. Thousands of people every year avail cancer treatment at the Parel and ACTREC hospitals, while thousands more cases register themselves each year. With cancer treatment facilities available in numerous states, most of the patients find the facilities for infrastructure, costs, and multi-disciplinary treatment the reason why they prefer coming to Mumbai. Nevertheless, visiting Mumbai for some families is not feasible due to the economic burden. Costs go far beyond hospital charges; parents need to stay with their sick kids until completion of the treatment process, making them lose paid jobs and income. In some cases, people even have to sell their property to pay for the travel, accommodation, and living costs during treatment. This situation demonstrates the importance of improving the cancer treatment facilities in the country. While new medical colleges have been opened in various states, it is also equally important to create a good regional cancer center equipped with modern technologies, skilled medical personnel, and accessible costs. For each family that enters the Homi Bhabha Block building, fighting cancer does not just involve the treatment of medicine, but it also involves courage, compassion, and hope that go along with it. In the bustling room of that building, strangers can end up becoming one anothers biggest strengththe kind of therapy that starts with humanity itself.
