<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a major breakthrough against cross-border terror networks, State Special Operations Cell of <a href="https://thenewsgateway.com/amarinder-voices-what-punjab-bjp-cadre-whisper/">Punjab </a>police has thwarted a terror conspiracy with the arrest of two associates of foreign-based terror operative and recovered one fully assembled RDX-based Improvised Explosive Device (IED), weighing approximately 2.5 kg from their possession, said Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Thursday.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Those arrested have been identified as Mani Singh (32), a resident of Gujjarpura in Amritsar and Abhishek Kumar (28), a resident of Gillwali Gate in Amritsar. DGP Gaurav Yadav said that the recovered IED was fully assembled and ready for use. The operation has resulted in the foiling of a nefarious plot aimed at targeting critical public infrastructure in SAS Nagar and averted a potentially catastrophic threat to public safety and security, he said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The DGP said that further investigations are underway to uncover the entire terror network, including handlers, associates, and all linkages involved in the conspiracy. Sharing operational details, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Counter Intelligence Ashish Choudhary said that acting on credible intelligence inputs, police teams apprehended both the suspects from near a park opposite YPS Chowk, Mohali, who travelled from Amritsar to Mohali by bus along with the explosive device.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the operation, the police recovered the RDX-laden IED from their possession, he said, while adding that considering the grave threat posed by the device, the Bomb Disposal Squad was immediately summoned to the spot, which successfully neutralised and dismantled the IED by following all prescribed safety protocols.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The IGP said that preliminary investigation has revealed that accused Mani Singh had come in contact with foreign-based handler via social media platform recently and he also introduced his brother-in-law Abhishek Kumar to him. During their interactions, foreign-based handler offered financial assistance in return for carrying out certain tasks and both agreed to work for him owing to their financial difficulties, he said.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chief Secretary, Atal Dulloo, today chaired a high-level review meeting to assess the preparedness of the Rural Development Department and district administrations for the smooth rollout of the Viksit Bharat Gramin Rozgar Abhiyan Mission (VB-G RAM G) across Jammu and Kashmir from July 1, 2026.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Chief Secretary reviewed the progress achieved by the department in transitioning from the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) framework to the newly enacted VB-G RAM G, which was notified by the Government of India on May 11, 2026.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stressing the importance of meticulous planning and coordinated execution, the Chief Secretary directed the officers to adhere strictly to the timelines prescribed for operationalization of the scheme and ensure that all preparatory activities are completed well before its commencement on July 1, 2026.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He called for expediting all prerequisites, including notification of the scheme in consultation with the Law Department, completion of e-KYC of all eligible workers, and advance planning and approval of works to facilitate a smooth and seamless transition to the new framework.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Chief Secretary also directed the Directors of Rural Development, Jammu and Kashmir, to take personal responsibility for capacity building and training of all functionaries associated with the implementation of the scheme. He emphasized that every employee at the district, block and Gram Panchayat level should be adequately trained and fully conversant with the provisions, procedures and technological platforms under VB-G RAM G before its rollout.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the meeting, the Secretary Rural Development, Aijaz Asad apprisedthat extensive awareness and outreach campaigns have been conducted across all districts, covering all 4,291 Gram Panchayats through special Gram Sabhas, community engagement programmes, social media campaigns and newspaper outreach initiatives.&nbsp;</p>

Around 3,849 Gram Sabhas have approved development plans and more than 63,000 works have been identified, providing a robust shelf of projects to cater to anticipated labour demand under the new programme.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The meeting was further informed that Jammu and Kashmir has emerged among the top-performing States and Union Territories in e-KYC coverage and face authentication compliance of MGNREGA workers, with all Gram Panchayats achieving full coverage. The Chief Secretary noted that the adoption of technology-driven governance mechanisms under VB-G RAM G, including face authentication, geofencing, AI-enabled analytics and real-time monitoring dashboards, would further strengthen transparency, accountability and service delivery.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regarding the operational readiness of the new scheme, the meeting was apprised that the draft notification for implementation of VB-G RAM G has been prepared and submitted for approval, while the rules, dedicated accounts, budgetary provisions and integration of financial management systems are being pursued in accordance with timelines prescribed by the Ministry of Rural Development. The categorisation of Gram Panchayats and other preparatory activities are also progressing as scheduled.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Jammu Municipal Corporation has formulated a comprehensive sanitation plan to ensure that all major roads, market areas, pilgrimage routes, and public spaces remain clean and hygienic during the upcoming Shri Amaranth Ji Yatra-2026. To strengthen mechanized cleaning operations, a fleet of specialized sanitation vehicles has been deployed across the city.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The fleet includes three compact road-sweeping machines that vacuum litter, dust, and other waste materials directly from road surfaces. These machines are particularly effective in cleaning narrow stretches and urban roads. In addition, four Italian-made Dulevo 6000 road-sweeping vehicles have been deployed for cleaning major roads and important traffic corridors. Two GVP vehicles equipped with powerful vacuum suction systems have also been pressed into service to collect accumulated waste and debris from roadsides and other public areas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All of these vehicles operate primarily during night hours when traffic movement is significantly lower. Since mechanized sweeping vehicles move at a relatively slow speed while carrying out cleaning operations, night deployment allows them to clean roads more efficiently and safely without disrupting the movement of commuters. The reactivation of these machines after necessary maintenance and repairs is expected to considerably improve sanitation standards across the city.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Providing details about the mechanized sanitation fleet, Chief Transport Officer zone lll Jammu Municipal Corporation, Balkar Angurana stated that the vehicles have been strategically deployed to maximize their effectiveness and ensure better cleanliness outcomes. He informed that the three compact road-sweeping machines are capable of vacuuming dust and litter directly from road surfaces, while the Dulevo 6000 and GVP vehicles are being utilized for cleaning larger roads and public spaces. He added that all the machines are being operated during night hours to facilitate smooth operations and comprehensive road cleaning with minimal interference from traffic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Besides mechanized cleaning, the Corporation continues to undertake regular sanitation activities, including door-to-door waste collection, manual sweeping, drain cleaning, and public awareness campaigns. Citizens are being urged to cooperate by avoiding littering and disposing of waste only through designated collection systems.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Municipal Commissioner Dr. Devansh Yadav stated that Jammu Municipal Corporation is fully committed to ensuring a clean, hygienic, and welcoming environment ahead of the Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra-2026 and the forthcoming Swachh Survekshan. He said that all available resources have been mobilized to strengthen sanitation services across the city and appealed to the public to actively support the cleanliness drive by maintaining civic responsibility and helping keep Jammu clean and green.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Railways has announced a 3 percent discount for passengers booking unreserved tickets through the “Rail One” mobile app in the New Year 2026. This scheme will come into effect from 14 January, 2026.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The “Rail One” app was launched on 1 July, 2025 by the Minister for Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw. The app offers multiple facilities, including unreserved ticket booking, platform ticket booking, ordering food during travel, train running status, grievance redressal, and more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recently, the Railway Board has introduced changes in the “Rail One” app to provide better facilities and financial benefits to passengers. Under this initiative, a 3 percent discount will be given on booking unreserved tickets through the app using all digital payment modes. This discount will be applicable on unreserved ticket bookings made through the “Rail One” app with digital payments, excluding R-Wallet. The scheme will remain valid from 14 January, 2026 to 14 July, 2026.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The objective of this initiative is to reduce congestion at unreserved ticket counters and to encourage passengers to purchase tickets through digital platforms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Commenting on this beneficial scheme for passengers, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Uchit Singhal, said, “Providing a seamless and modern digital experience to our valued passengers is the goal of Indian Railways. The ‘Rail One’ app is an important step towards the Digital India initiative, bringing multiple facilities together on a single platform.” He further added that this scheme not only helps passengers save money but also establishes a distinct identity in the digital domain.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The National Investigation Agency has made a significant breakthrough in the Red Fort area car bombing case with the arrest of a Kashmiri resident accused of plotting the deadly attack alongside the suicide bomber. The blast, which shook central Delhi on November 10, claimed 10 lives and left 32 people injured.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The arrested accused, identified as Amir Rashid Ali of Samboora, Pampore in Jammu &amp; Kashmir, was taken into custody from Delhi after the NIA launched an intensive manhunt following its takeover of the case from Delhi Police. Investigators found that Amir had assisted alleged suicide bomber Umar Un Nabi in planning and executing the attack.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to the investigation, Amir travelled to Delhi to help purchase the vehicle later converted into a vehicle-borne Improvised Explosive Device (IED). The car was registered in his name. Forensic analysis carried out by the NIA has confirmed that the deceased driver of the explosive-laden vehicle was Umar Un Nabi, a resident of Pulwama and an Assistant Professor in the General Medicine Department at Al Falah University in Faridabad.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition to Amir’s arrest, the NIA has seized another vehicle belonging to Umar Un Nabi. The agency is examining the vehicle for further evidence as part of its widening probe. So far, 73 witnesses — including several injured victims — have been examined in connection with the explosion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The NIA continues to work in coordination with Delhi Police, J&amp;K Police, Haryana Police, UP Police and other security agencies as it pursues multiple leads to uncover the broader conspiracy behind the attack. The investigation aims to identify all those involved in the terror plot.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today reiterated his government’s resolve to position Jammu Tawi Golf Course (JTGC), Sidhra, as a premier national destination for golfers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He made these remarks while addressing a felicitation ceremony organized for paragliders upon the completion of their training course at JTGC.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said that while tournaments are being held in Srinagar, Pahalgam and Gulmarg, Jammu’s golfing potential has not been promoted to the extent it deserves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Jammu’s golf course is exceptionally beautiful and of high quality. We will work harder to promote it, host more tournaments, and ensure that JTGC emerges as a national golfing destination,” he said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He assured the people of Jammu that the government is making concerted efforts to secure the region economically and elevate its standing on the national tourism map.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Our commitment to Jammu is unwavering. Whether it is Jammu city, its surrounding areas, or the remotest parts of Jammu province, our endeavour is to ensure not just security but prosperity. We have taken several steps already, and many more are in the pipeline,” he said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Chief Minister emphasized that Jammu possesses immense tourism diversity—heritage tourism, pilgrimage tourism, border tourism and adventure tourism—all of which require sustained promotion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“There is a need to bring more people here, develop facilities further and unlock the full tourism potential of this region,” he added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Referring to the development of the golf course, he said, “I don’t know what first inspired us to establish a golf course here—but Jammu deserves it. People here love golf as much as anywhere else, and this facility must be strengthened and promoted.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He also appreciated the introduction of new initiatives such as the enhanced tourist bus services. “The bus inaugurated today, linked to border tourism, is a special addition. We have always maintained that Jammu’s tourism must be nurtured across all fronts,” he noted.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Earlier, the Chief Minister laid the foundation stone for a state-of-the-art Indoor Swimming Pool at JTGC, Sidhra—marking a major addition to sports infrastructure in the region. He also flagged off the Jammu Gedi Bus Service, an innovative transport initiative aimed at improving connectivity to major tourist destinations such as Surinsar-Mansar and Suchetgarh.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary, Minister for Transport Satish Sharma, Advisor to the Chief Minister Nasir Aslam Wani, MLA Jammu East Yudhvir Sethi, Additional Chief Secretary to the CM Dheeraj Gupta, Director Tourism Jammu Vikas Gupta, and other senior officials were present during the event.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Chief Minister congratulated the paragliders on completing their course and encouraged them to serve as ambassadors of Jammu’s adventure tourism potential.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kalyan Chart is a known name in the realm of Matka as it provides an insight into the winning numbers and is said to be a perfect solution for those playing the game. It is however, important to understand that playing Matka is putting one’s money into risk that can be a financial pitfall.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kalyan Matka Chart provides a set of numbers to the players that are analysed and then the Bazi is played. It is, however, a controversial topic as many believe that the winning numbers cannot be defined by a Matka chart result and is likely to be a fluke.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are different kind of Kalyan charts for results including Night and Day, Kalyan Charminar Chart, Kalyan Jodi Chart and others.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The name of Kalyan Matka Chart was derived from Kalyanji Bhagat who introduced the Satta in Mumbai, it was played openly on the streets of the financial hub of the country where workers would gather and place their bet on different numbers. Later, internet took over and now the Satta Matka is played online while the chart is used to analyse the numbers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kalyan Chart has since decades remained like a reference tool for the players who are interested in Satta Matka.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A player just needs to enter a website offering the Satta Matka game where money can be put. But, it is important to understand that Kalyan Chart Matka and any other form of betting games are illegal in India and no money should be invested into it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is a fact that many poor workers and labourers especially from West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and other states try to earn a fast cash due to which they are attracted towards such Satta games. However, they end up losing of whatever they have saved in years. The lust to get more and more money takes away what one has saved leading the player into depression.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As per the reports, some people have been able to register victory by using the Kalyan Chart and were able to predict the Jodi.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kalyan Jodi Chart is the most popular form of the Matka where players have to find two numbers that will win the game. Many players believe that the numbers in Kalyan Chart have a pattern as an algorithm is working that announces the winning numbers. &nbsp;They feel that by cracking the algorithm of the Satta Matka, they will be able to guess the winning Jodi.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Satta King remains one of the most talked about games of guesses and tips in the country despite operating quietly on the edges of legality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While the Satta King is banned under the Public Gambling Act, the Matka continues to attract lakhs of people to test their luck online. The game also has offline version but players mostly like the one on internet played through apps and websites.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Inspired by the 1950s betting on cotton market rates, Satta King has evolved into different networks of localized games including Gali Satta, Disawar Satta, Faridabad Satta and Ghaziabad Satta. All these games are inspired by the name of the cities where they were first introduced and have a Satta Chart ecosystem linked to them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The concept in all these Matka games online is simple – a players chooses a number and wait for the declaration of the numbers on the websites run by the Satta King operators. If a person wins the jackpot, he becomes a King.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many other pages including Satta King online and Black Satta King have emerged over the time with the growing popularity of the game. All these Matka games have extended the reach of the original Satta but come with the similar risks of losing money and becoming bankrupt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another issue related to Satta King is that many websites running it lack authenticity and might be promoting a fraud putting the players into the risk of digital scams. Multiple reports of such frauds come time and again from different corners of the country where the players downloaded the application for the Matka games and were duped of their hard earned money.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Psychologists and experts see the addiction of Satta King and other such platforms as a reflection of India’s fascination with fortune and quick money. While it is a fact that prosperity might comes with smart work in right direction, but believing that fast money can also bring fortune is a myth and may lead a person into a financial trap.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In small towns across India, Satta King is often seen as the same ‘fast cash’ that could end poverty. However, once a person start putting money in the Matka game like Black Satta King, Gali Disawar and others, he starts piling up a burden of financial problems for himself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Satta King remains illegal in the country with little action by the authorities on the websites and apps operating and promoting the illegal game. The rise of Satta Chart apps and guessing on internet has further blurred the line between casual betting and organized play.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Experts believe that only regulations will not be able to stop the Matka games like Satta King in the country and public awareness is required for the same. Access to financial education is one of the key factors that could help people in understanding that easy money is a myth and they should invest their hard earned money in government backed financial institutions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even as the authorities warn against Satta King, the ecosystem thrives with growing popularity of games like Gali Satta, Disawar Satta and others.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While the Satta King (सट्टा किंग) is known to the players across the country, there is another Satta Matka with a suffix of 786 whose result today are awaited by lakhs of players. This, however, comes with a risk of financial losses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://jknewsline.com/satta-king-result-today-declared-matka-tips-fail-again/" title="">Satta King </a>is not a new game and has been played in different parts of the country since years. Its version of Satta Matka like Desawar (Disawar), Gali Satta King, Ghaziabad Satta, Faridabad Satta are also part of the same game of numbers where a player chooses a digit between 00-99 and wings the jackpot worth lakhs if he selects the winning number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Why are people obsessed withSatta King? This has to be seen in a historical perspective as the Matka was once limited to only narrow lanes of different cities of the country. Before the advent of mobiles and internet, people used to lay the game physically and purchase a ticket. However after the internet was rolled in the country, players now have access to games like Satta Matka games and are also able to get the money online but with a major risk.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Players wait for Satta King 786 Disawar online result, updates and charts today to get some tips for winning the Matka.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let us discuss the monetary risk that a person puts himself into while playing and kind of these illegal Satta Matka games. While a player puts money into the game thinking that he will become a Satta King, he is actually putting at stake his hard earned money. Selecting only one number between 00-99 is many odds and very little chance of luck.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some players use tips and guesses to win the game of Satta King but these are useless and are extremely risky. There are many charts available in the market that claim to provide a winning number but these cannot be true as no one has control over the game of Matka.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The lure of easy money by winning the Satta King 786 brings many people to the game who are then at a point of no return. Once a person loses money in the Satta Matka game, he thinks that he will recover the amount by putting more money in the next round. However, it becomes a trap and the person keep on pouring money and it becomes a vicious circle.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The rise in the number of website playing Satta King itself shows how deeply the Matka game has penetrated and how dangerous it is for the next generation. Even as there is little action by the government on the apps promoting Satta and other similar guessing games, there is a rage among the people to earn easy money.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many people are glued to the websites and other social media platforms to watch the Satta King Live Update throughout the day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The online results of Satta King and other similar Matka games have given a boost to the organizers to fund them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is also a fact that till people will continue to search for Satta King and Disawar result, the organizers will keep pumping money into this trap ruining many financially and emotionally.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kalyan Chart is consulted by many players who are into Satta Matka but do you really think that this is helpful in winning the game?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many believe that Kalyan Panel Chart is a very important tool in the world of Matka due to which it has become popular among those who often put their money into the dangerous game of Satta.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The chart has a grid of number and corresponding results, letting the players to analyze the patterns and make prediction to win in the Satta Matka games. While it has no scientific reasoning behind it, but there is a sense of adoption of the Kalyan Chart among the players to use it and then bet on a given number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Those who use the chart claim that it has historical data and statistical analysis behind it that help the players in making predictions. Many other similar charts like Milan Day Panel Chart and Kalyan Jodi Chart are also available in to form a strategy to win the Matka.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many players find it difficult and ask the question as to how to read Kalyan Chart? The chart is generally divided into multiple sections including an open and close result that indicate a set of three numbers. When these three numbers are added in the Panel Chart, it forms a single digit number between 0 -9. The figures are used to assess the final Jodi result. Multiple online platforms offer these daily charts and claim that these offer tips and prediction or lucky number to win the Matka.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To make it simple, the panel chart has a section called Open with three separate numbers, Jodi with set of double digit numbers, Panna with a set of triple digit numbers and Single Jodi in which there are two triple digit numbers and one double digit number. The Kalyan Chart also has Milan Day free game, Rajdhani Day free game, Milan Night free game, Rajdhani Night free game and Main Bazar free game.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Kalyan Chart has many limitations that are important to be considered before playing any Matka game. On one hand where it does not account for external factors that can influence the outcomes, such as changes in regulations, market conditions, or insider information. Additionally, on the other hand the panel does not incorporate individual player strategies or factors like luck and intuition.</p>

It is wastage of money besides putting oneself in a situation where he reaches a point of no return. The Kalyan Matka also leads to financial distress among many families across the country for which it should be avoided.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As part of the ongoing fortnight-long ‘Sewa Pakhwada’ being observed across the country to commemorate the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a delegation of senior BJP leaders, led by the party’s vice-president and former education minister Mrs. Priya Sethi, today felicitated veteran journalist S.P. Sharma and eminent dental surgeon Dr. Gautam Sharma in recognition of their distinguished contributions in their respective fields.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The ‘Sewa Pakhwada’ programme encompasses a wide range of activities, including health camps, cleanliness drives, plantation initiatives, and felicitation of prominent personalities, aimed at fostering the spirit of service and social responsibility.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Among others in the BJP team were Naresh Jasrotia, president (Jammu South district), Kulbir Singh Charak, general secretary (Jammu South), Divya Jain (president, Mahila Morcha, Jammu South), Dr. Himja Mengi, vice-president, BJYM, and Akash Deepak, IT Cell incharge (Jammu South).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The BJP leaders presented mementos to Mr. Sharma and Dr. Gautam on behalf of Mr. Sat Sharma, President BJP, J&amp;K UT.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8216;Sewa Pakhwada&#8217;, is being observed from the birthday of PM Modi on September 17&nbsp; to October 2, coinciding with Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">BJP has placed its two core issues, &#8216;Swadeshi&#8217; and &#8216;Aatmanirbhar Bharat&#8217;, at the centre of the fortnight-long nationwide campaign.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mrs. Sethi said PM Modi has consistently underscored the importance of public service and social reforms, first as Gujarat Chief Minister and later as Prime Minister.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She highlighted the government’s flagship programmes, environmental initiatives, and outreach to marginalised sections, aligning with the Prime Minister’s vision that politics is meant to serve people, particularly the poor and downtrodden.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is worth mentioning that Mr. SP Sharma during his 50 years in journalism has worked in all northern states, J&amp;K, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana. He covered militancy in Punjab and J&amp;K.</p>

The pilgrimage will now be conducted in a symbolic and scaled-down manner, with women and children barred from participating due to safety concerns.<br>The annual three-day pilgrimage, held in the Bhaderwah sub-division of Doda, involves a challenging 21-km trek.

The alternative Chattergala route has been closed, deemed unsafe due to heavy water streams and unstable terrain.<br>Deputy Commissioner Doda, Harvinder Singh, announced the measures after three rounds of consultations with stakeholders. &#8220;The safety and security of devotees will be our top priority,&#8221; he said, urging strict adherence to official advisories.<br>The decision follows recent tragedies in the region:<br>On August 14, a cloudburst in Kishtwar left 67 Machail Mata pilgrims dead and 88 missing.<br>Another incident in Kathua on Sunday claimed seven lives, including five children.<br>To ensure the safety of pilgrims, the administration has planned a comprehensive deployment strategy. Medical teams, disaster response units, water and shelter facilities, and security personnel will be stationed at all key points along the route. Each pilgrim must carry a valid ID issued by the district administration.<br>DC Singh emphasized that while this year’s yatra will be symbolic, all traditional rituals will be upheld. He assured devotees of the administration&#8217;s full commitment to ensuring a safe, smooth, and spiritually enriching pilgrimage experience.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kashmir leaders have slammed the J&amp;K government for banning 25 books on terrorism.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Criticising the ban, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti said “banning books cannot erase history”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="569" src="https://jknewsline.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/mufti-1-1024x569.jpg" alt="Mehbooba Mufti" class="wp-image-3056" srcset="https://jknewsline.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/mufti-1-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https://jknewsline.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/mufti-1-300x167.jpg 300w, https://jknewsline.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/mufti-1-768x427.jpg 768w, https://jknewsline.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/mufti-1.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She wrote on X; “Democracy thrives on the free exchange of ideas. Banning books cannot erase history , it only fuels division. In Kashmir, suppressing democratic voices and fundamental freedoms deepens alienation and mistrust”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Censorship doesn&#8217;t silence ideas it amplifies their resonance”, she added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mirwaiz Umar Farooq also raised his voice against the book ban. He wrote on X; “Banning books by scholars and reputed historians will not erase historical facts and the repertoire of lived memories of people of Kashmir”.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="912" height="1024" src="https://jknewsline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Mirwaiz-Umar-Farooq-912x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-27602" srcset="https://jknewsline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Mirwaiz-Umar-Farooq-912x1024.jpg 912w, https://jknewsline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Mirwaiz-Umar-Farooq-267x300.jpg 267w, https://jknewsline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Mirwaiz-Umar-Farooq-768x862.jpg 768w, https://jknewsline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Mirwaiz-Umar-Farooq-1368x1536.jpg 1368w, https://jknewsline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Mirwaiz-Umar-Farooq.jpg 1661w" sizes="(max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“It only exposes the insecurities and limited understanding of those behind such authoritarian actions, and the contradiction in proudly hosting&nbsp; the ongoing Book Festival to showcase its literary commitment!”, he added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The J&amp;K administration yesterday ordered forfeiture of the 25 titles, alleging that the books promote “false narratives,” glorify terrorism, and incite secessionism in the Union Territory.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">General Upendra Dwivedi paid heartfelt tribute to the fallen soldiers of the Kargil War, lauding their unwavering courage and sacrifice. He reflected on the Indian Army’s historic victory in 1999 and its resolute defence of national sovereignty during recent Operation Sindoor. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Emphasising that India seeks peace but will respond decisively to provocation, he highlighted the Army’s successful, precise operations against terror infrastructure without civilian harm. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The COAS outlined the Army’s transformation into a future-ready force through ‘Rudra’ all arms brigades, ‘Bhairav’ light commando battalions, ‘Shaktibaan’ artillery regiments and ‘Divyastra’ batteries, drone-equipped infantry battalions, and indigenous air defence systems. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He also praised the Army’s role in national building, especially in border infrastructure, tourism, economy and veteran welfare affirming the soldier’s enduring role in building <em>Viksit Bharat</em> by 2047. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Calling upon youth to serve the nation with honesty and dedication, he closed with a resolute commitment to safeguarding India’s unity, sovereignty, and honour.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The main event commenced with the Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Kargil War Memorial. Dr Mansukh Mandaviya, Minister of Labour &amp; Employment and Minister of Youth Affairs &amp; Sports; Sanjay Seth, Minister of State for Defence; Kavinder Gupta, Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh; and General Upendra Dwivedi, COAS, led the nation in paying homage to the martyrs. They were joined by senior military officials, gallantry awardees, Veer Naris, and families of the fallen. The haunting notes of the “Last Post” reverberated through the valley, evoking powerful emotions and remembrance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Earlier in the morning, the rugged high altitude town of Dras, forever etched in India’s memory for the valorous battles of 1999, came alive as Union Minister Dr Mansukh Mandaviya and MoS Defence Sanjay Seth led a solemn ‘Kargil Vijay Diwas Padyatra’, retracing the steps of history with a thousand-strong crowd of youth, soldiers, and citizens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Organised by Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat) under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, the padyatra was a stirring tribute to India’s victory in the Kargil War and the soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.</p>

Shafi &amp; Anr V/s Union of India and Ors. on August 7th, 2025 as the matter could not be considered due to paucity of time.<br><br>       When this much publicized PIL came up for hearing, Sr. AAG Mohsin Qadri and Assisting Counsel Maha Majeed appearing for UT of J&amp;K informed the Division Bench that pursuant to order dated April 24th, 2025, the General Administration Department (GAD) has filed a comprehensive Status Report indicating the steps taken as directed by the Division Bench vide its detailed order passed on April 24th, 2025.<br><br>       Advocate S.S. Ahmed with Advocate Adnan Mushtaq Jaral appearing for the petitioners submitted that he has already received the copy of the said status report filed by General Administration Department.<br><br>       The matter could not be considered by the Division Bench due to paucity of time and looking into the importance of the matter, the Division Bench headed by the Chief Justice Arun Palli directed the Registry to re-list the instant PIL on August 7th, 2025.<br><br>        The CBI is investigating the Arms Licence Scam ranging from 2012 to 2016 which was transferred to it by the Government of J&amp;K in the year 2018 and CBI registered two FIRs RCCHG0512018S0006 and RCCHG0512018S0007 and in September, 2024, the Division Bench then headed by Chief Justice Tashi Rabstan (since Retired) impleaded CBI as a party respondent and the CBI in its detailed Status Report divulged that from 2012 to 2016, the various District Magistrates in J&amp;K in lieu of monetary considerations in connivance with Arms Dealers, Judicial Clerks and middlemen issued 2.63 Lakhs Arms Licences to non-deserving persons in contravention of Arms Act and the rules framed thereunder.<br><br>       The CBI after completion of investigation in both the FIRs has sought Prosecution Sanction against more than 09 IAS Officers who in their capacity as District Magistrates in J&amp;K issued Arms Licences to the Non-Deserving Persons and so far Government of India has granted Prosecution Sanction only against 01 IAS Officer and Chargesheet/Challan has been filed against the said officer in the designated CBI Court. <br><br>    The Government of J&amp;K in March, 2021 granted Prosecution Sanction against the JKAS Officers allegedly involved in the Arms Licence Scam and more than 15 Charge-Sheets have been filed by the CBI in the matter in both the designated Courts at Jammu and Srinagar. <br><br>   The PIL No.09/2012 which has now been fixed for hearing on August 7th, 2025 has highlighted the rampant corruption in J&amp;K and shielding of high-ups in the various scams and the lackadaisical approach of J&amp;K Government in forwarding the prosecution proposals to the MHA/DoPT of those involved in various scams.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the face of catastrophic monsoon devastation in Himachal Pradesh, the Indian Army has emerged as a critical lifeline for the flood-battered Mandi district, where multiple cloudbursts have flattened villages, swept away infrastructure, and left dozens dead or missing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With roads destroyed and communication lines snapped, Army relief columns have been relying on satellite phones to stay connected with base camps as they push into the worst-affected areas. Thunag village, one of the hardest-hit locations, is now receiving aid after days of isolation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Satellite communication systems including ISAT phones, RS STARSV, and HX terminals have been deployed to ensure uninterrupted connectivity for rescue and relief teams,&#8221; a Defence spokesperson said. &#8220;Mobile networks are functional only in patches, with Thunag still facing major blackouts.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since early July, relentless rain and flash floods have claimed at least 85 lives across Himachal Pradesh, with over 35 people still missing. The deluge has left behind a trail of destruction—boulders, uprooted trees, and debris litter once-thriving villages, now barely recognizable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Indian Army personnel, in close coordination with the SDRF, NDRF, and local authorities, are leading Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) efforts. Relief columns have been deployed across strategic locations including Thunag, Bagsiad, and Pandoh. On July 6, they successfully cleared a critical mule track between Bagsiad and Thunag, paving the way for the delivery of urgently needed supplies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the ground, Army medics are providing first aid and distributing ration kits to displaced families. Relief material has already reached remote villages such as Degi (July 7), Rushad (July 8), and Chapad (July 9), many of which had been completely cut off since the floods began.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Brigade Commander of the Indian Army is currently in Mandi to review operations and boost morale among the ground teams.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The Indian Army remains steadfast in its commitment to the people of Himachal Pradesh,” the spokesperson added. “Our teams will continue to support the civil administration for as long as necessary during this crisis.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As heavy rains continue to lash the region, the Army’s mission is far from over—but for the people of Mandi, their presence is already making the difference between despair and hope.</p>
