Altaf Bukhari for maximizing admissions under PMSSS
Minister for education Syed Muhammad Altaf Bukhari today directed for taking proactive measures to maximize the admissions under Prime Minister’s Special Scholarship Scheme (PMSSS) for J&K students.
In this connection, he stressed for sustained campaigning at school level and advance counselling of aspirants with regard to options of courses and choice of colleges.

Chairing a high-level meeting to review the issues related to the ambitious scheme, the minister asked the implementing agency, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), and Education Department, to start the exercise well in advance and "take the hunt for aspirants to remotest schools of the state."

The Minister expressed satisfaction over steep fall in complaints from student beneficiaries in the backdrop of intensive measures taken by AICTE and state government to isolate the unwanted elements in the admission process, an official statement said.
He also hailed 80 percent lateral entry of diploma holders in engineering degree courses against the 20 percent of total seats as mandated under the scheme.

He hailed the successful implementation of DBT disbursement of the scholarship.
Stressing on the need to maximize the intake in the next session, the minister called for encouraging admissions in humanities and languages as well. “Studying in top colleges of Delhi and other cities would help to provide potential students an opportunity to strive for civil services exams,” he said.

Kashmir shrines vulnerable to fire

Kashmir shrines vulnerable to fire
No preparedness at 3 revered shrines in Srinagar

A day after a fire gutted the spire of the Khanqah-e-Moula and exposed nearly non-existent fire prevention and control measures at the shrine, a visit to three of the most revered shrines in the city only reflects the official apathy on the fire preparedness front.
This correspondent on Thursday visited the three shrines—Dastagreer Sahab (RA), Khanyar; Naqashband Sahab (RA); and, Bulbul Shah (RA)— to have a look at fire readiness and safety there.

JAMMU, Nov 15: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today reviewed Jammu and Kashmir situation at a high-level meeting with top brass of the Home and Defence Ministries especially steps required to keep infiltration to minimum level during winter and utilize the period to eliminate the militants operating within the Valley even during snowfall and harsh weather conditions.
National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, Union Home Secretary Rajiv Gauba, Defence Secretary Sanjay Mitra and senior officers of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Incharge Jammu and Kashmir desk attended the meeting and briefed the two Union Ministers on situation prevailing in the State and steps required to maintain peace and normalcy during the winter after near peaceful summer when National Investigating Agency (NIA) arrested number of separatists and businessmen for their involvement in hawala operations, funding terrorists and separatists and fuelling unrest in the Valley.
Sources told the Excelsior that the Home and Defence Ministries have decided to utilize four crucial months of harsh winter in Kashmir to eliminate maximum possible terrorists inside the Valley and, at the same time, ensure that infiltration level was reduced to negligible when majority of infiltration routes will be blocked by heavy snowfall.
“The security forces have been asked to ensure that there was no fresh infiltration of militants into Kashmir during these four months. Simultaneously, Army, CRPF, police would go all out against the militants operating within the Valley. The winter strategy was aimed at reducing number of militants at its lowest,” sources said.
Sources said top brass of MHA and Defence Ministry have been asked to devise winter strategy along with all security agencies operating in Jammu and Kashmir and the local police to ensure that successes achieved against militants this summer continued in the winter as well.
According to sources, the high-level meeting of Home and Defence Ministries decided that there will be no let up in the operations against militants despite the opening up of channel of dialogue by the Centre Government with the appointment of Dineshwar Sharma as Special Representative of the Government on Jammu and Kashmir.
“The talks will go on. Dineshwar Sharma has completed his first visit to Jammu and Kashmir and would undertake another visit to the State after sometime during which he will also cover remote districts of Leh and Kargil. However, as the talks go on, the anti-militancy operations will also continue,” sources said, adding that this aspect has been made clear to all security agencies in the State.
Instead, they asserted, the anti-militancy operations will be further stepped-up in the winter.
According to sources, the situation prevailing along the International Border (IB) and Line of Control (LoC), which were largely peaceful barring few occasional ceasefire violations on the LoC, was discussed in detail. A high-level MHA Study Group, which had visited both IB and LoC on November 10 and 11 to study problems of the border dwellers and suggested permanent solutions to their problems, has already briefed the Home Minister.
However, sources said, the Study Group would finalize its recommendations only after visiting border areas of Kashmir and Ladakh regions. After their recommendations, the Home Ministry was planning to undertake series of measures to address problems of the border dwellers, both on LoC and IB, in such a way that they feel safe even during ceasefire violations by Pakistan.
Sources said the Centre was satisfied with the impact the NIA raids had in choking terror funding in Kashmir as Intelligence inputs suggested that terrorists, separatists and Over Ground Workers (OGWs) were clearly running short of funds.
“Lack of funding has contributed a lot in reducing violence in Kashmir,” they observed.

Ever busy Bikram Chowk flyover awaits tragedy, over 30 LED lights non-functional
The new Bikram Chowk flyover, which was inaugurated by the Chief Minister Mahbooba M***i a few months back, is reeling under darkness as more than 30 LED lights over this ever busy flyover in the heart of the city have been lying non-functional since long.
Sources said that ERA, which is responsible for maintenance of the flyover, doesn’t have requisite cranes for replacing or repairing the out of order lights.

In view of the darkness over this flyover, there could be mishap anytime, especially in the winters during dense fog. There are a total of 220 LED lights on both the stretches of the Bikram Chowk Flyover which means around 100 LED lights on each stretch.

This ever busy flyover, which was constructed with an aim to decongest the city traffic, witnesses heavy movement of vehicles to and fro including the inter-state vehicles.
The winters are round the corner, and if the lights over this flyover are not repaired or replaced, there could be mishap anytime due to poor visibility in view of heavy fog.

Pakistan Not Weak to Allow India to Take PoK, Says Farooq Abdullah
Srinagar: After his "PoK belongs to Pakistan" remark last week, National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah today made another controversial statement saying Pakistan was "not weak to allow India to take that part of Jammu and Kashmir under its occupation".
Addressing party workers in Uri area of north Kashmir's Baramulla district, the former chief minister said, "How long shall we keep saying that (PoK) is our part? It (PoK) is not their father's share. That (PoK) is Pakistan and this (J-K) is India."
He said 70 years have "passed but they (India) could not get it (PoK)".
"Today, they (India) claim it is our part. So take it (PoK), we are also saying please take it (from Pakistan). We will also see. They (Pakistan) are not weak and are not wearing bangles. They too have atom bomb. Before we think about war, we should think how we will live as humans," Abdullah said.
The Lok Sabha member from Srinagar had raked up controversy last week when he said that PoK belongs to Pakistan and it won't change even if the two countries fight wars against each other.
"I tell them in plain terms not only the people of India, but also to the world that the part (of J-K) which is with Pakistan (PoK) belongs to Pakistan and this side to India. This won't change. Let them fight how many wars they want to. This won't change," he had said.
His comments drew the ire of the BJP and a case was also filed against him in Bihar.
"A case has been filed against me. That too by a Muslim. May God protect him. Look at his situation, he does not know Kashmir. He does not know our situation. They (Pakistan) drop a bomb, common people and soldiers die here (in Kashmir) and when a bomb is dropped from here, our people and soldiers also die there (PoK). Till when would this storm continue? Till when would the blood of innocents continue to flow," he told his party workers.
He said he hoped a day would come when people would move freely across the Line of Control (LoC).
"A day will come when you will cross the Line of Control (LoC) in such a manner as if going from one house to another. Have belief on this that such a day will come and without that, there would be no peace in this country," he said.

Jammu and Kashmir separatist leaders Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, Muhammad Yasin Malik arrested for joint march
Separatist leaders Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik have been taken into preventive custody after Jammu and Kashmir Police foiled a joint march by them on Wednesday. They were detained just as they started a march towards the city centre Lal Chowk from the nearby Abi Guzar office of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF).

According to IANS, the two leaders addressed a joint press conference at the JKLF office earlier where Farooq said the continuing harassment of people in south Kashmir by security forces in the name of operations against militants was condemnable.

They also voiced concern over the plight of Kashmiris detained in different jails outside the Kashmir Valley. They criticised Chief Minister Mehbooba M***i for saying that some people were first stoking agitations and later lining up for administrative favours.

Kashmir valley is called the garden of saints, Sufis and rashes. Its natural beauty and pristine purity would attract them towards penance and prayers and they spread the message of peace and tolerance among the people. Many spiritualists, ascetics and missionaries from ancient times visited Kashmir with message of peace and tranquillity and thus created among the local people a humanistic culture of highest order.
One of the great saints who visited Kashmir in 14th century was Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani from the province of Geelan in Iran. In the locality of Khanyar in downtown Srinagar, a spacious complex by the name of the shrine of Pir Dastgeer was established in his name and it became a sanctified place for the visitations of the saint. Unfortunately, in June 2012 the shrine was badly gutted in a mysterious fire and the imposing structure was razed to ground. This caused much agony to the people and the devotees of the saint who are not small in number. The Government took a note of the blaze and the destruction it had caused to the shrine building and committed to rebuilding and renovating it and raising a spectacular structure after the Islamic traditions. Consequently, the concerned departments were put to work. The estimate of expenditure on the new plan was around 1607 lakh rupees out of which 1200 lakh had been provided. After that flow of funds stopped and the work of renovation and reconstruction came to a standstill. On enquiry we have come to know that the work had to be stopped owing to paucity of funds as the value of the work done was to the tune or rupees 1400 lakh and the Government owed rupees 150 lakh for the construction of the new mosque.
Reports suggest that the entire complex is in a bad condition and the devotees are facing many difficulties to pay obeisance at the shrine. The boundary wall is non-existence, wash rooms are in a dismal condition and the control room all of timber is too dangerous to house the main power centre because if there is short circuit by chance the room will immediately catch fire being made of timber. The attendants at the shrine were sore that the Government despite making tall claims has not released funds to the construction agency namely JKPCC.
We like to entreat the Government that since the sentiments of a vast majority of people in the valley and especially in Srinagar are attached to this popular shrine, necessary funding be provided immediately so that repair, reconstruction and renovation work is resumed without loss of time.

The judges of lower courts in the country, numbering over 21000 may soon hear good news. It is expected that they will be favoured with a pay hike making their salaries become at least three fold of what is at this moment. The Union Cabinet has given its nod and now the nitty-gritty of the case will be taken care of by the concerned subordinate agencies.
The last revision of the salaries of judges of lower courts was revised in the year 2010. Ever since, much water has followed down the river. After receiving the approval of the Cabinet, the Law Ministry has to constitute the second National Judicial Pay Commission. Justice P Venkatrama Reddi, retired Supreme Court Judge will be the Chairman of the Commission and R Basant, a former judge of the Kerala High Court is the member of the panel. Obviously, the Pay Commission will consider the feasibility of hiking the pay scales of the judges of lower courts in the country and then submit its recommendations.
The Constitution of India allows many privileges and facilities for the judicial organ of the State. Making judges independent means, among other things, making them financially good enough to meet their household expenditures. Judges are supposed to be the custodians of high values of integrity and honesty and they are also the watchdogs of the morals of society. This is practically possible only when they are financially sound and independent. The current entry level salary for a junior civil judge is Rs 45,000 while a senior judge gets nearly Rs 80,000. The Commission will submit its recommendations in early 2019 and the hike again is expected to be given with retrospective effect.
Obviously judges of lower courts will be happy with the news and expectations of considerable hike in their salaries should infuse in them heightened sense of service to the nation. We are fortunate to have the democratic arrangement in which judiciary as one of the three organs of the State enjoys great respect and credibility with the people.

The bi-annual meet between the BSF and Rangers (Pakistan) has ended in New Delhi and the next meeting scheduled to be held after six months will take place in Pakistan. These are routine meets in which security matters pertaining to the International Border and the LoC are discussed. Evidently, both sides place their point of view and there is nothing new in allegations and counter allegations made in the course of deliberations. Though, the outcome of these meetings is nothing to sooth us yet the point is that meetings should continue and one should never lose the hope that good sense will prevail.
Obviously, both sides agree that unprovoked firing and shelling ultimately brings pain and suffering to the innocent civilians for no fault of theirs. They have once again reiterated that the wanton destruction of life and property should be avoided and as such greatest care has to be taken to protect civilian lives.
There are some strong points which Indian side put forth and Pakistani side needs to ponder over coolly. There is usually unprovoked firing from Pakistani side. It is purposefully done and the known purpose is to provide cover fire to the infiltrators who want to sneak into Indian side under the smokescreen of fire. It aims at diverting the attention of Indian border security force and let the infiltrators who are the jihadis equipped and armed to sneak into our side and disappear in the darkness of the night. Many of these infiltrators have been captured and they have given statements to the media. The second strong argument which Indian side has put forth is that of secret tunnels dug by the infiltrators from Pakistani side with logistical support from the Rangers. These tunnels have been discovered and the material obtained from there is a clear proof that Pakistani jihadis deployed for sneaking into our side and creating destabilization in J&K. BSF has discovered many tunnels so far and foiled the attempts of the intruders. Pakistani side cannot deny it because even the smugglers of narcotics also are reported to be making use of these tunnels. As far as narcotic smuggling is concerned, BSF has smashed a number of narcotic networks which had links with their counterparts across the border. It is highly desirable that the two sides cooperate in tackling narcotic smuggling because both countries are committed to uproot narcotic trade and as such a joint effort is welcome if they can make to eradicate the menace.
For Indian side, the crucial question is of infiltration by armed jihadis sent by several terrorist organizations flourishing on Pakistani soil. Though Pakistan has been making commitment to the US and even to the world body that she will not allow her soil to be used for launching attacks on neighbouring countries but the fact is that terrorist groups based and thriving on Pakistani soil are regularly sending infiltrators to sneak in and create law and order problem for us. These people cannot succeed in their mission if the Rangers meant for maintaining security of the border are not soft paddling with them.
We do not discourage these meetings between the top brass of security forces. These meets should continue and each party should try to understand the point of view of the other side. The simple logic is that India and Pakistan are two neighbouring countries with common past. They have to live as good neighbours. That implies having good and friendly intentions and not harbouring animus against each other. News trickling down suggests that the two sides have realised the need of increasing the frequency of the meets between the field commanders known as flag meetings to discuss and take decisions on the ground whenever something untoward happens along the IB. We think this is a sensible decision and both sides should try to stick to it without being provoked and intimidated.
