Asserting that the government was committed to development of border villages, Thakur assured the local villagers that their demands of better digital connectivity and road connectivity, enhancing tourism infrastructure, sports infrastructure and improved Jal Jeewan Mission will also be implemented on priority basis.
As part of the government’s vibrant village programme, Thakur embarked on a three-day tour of Leh-Ladakh, during which he stayed in Karzok village, held meeting with UT and district officials to review Central/state government schemes and distribution of sports equipment.
He also interacted with the ITBP jawans at Karzok platoon post located about 15,000 feet above sea level on the Indo-China border, according to an official statement.
Aiming to assess the reach of various projects and schemes of the government and also gain a first-hand understanding of the challenges faced by the residents in remote villages on Indo-China border, the Union minister held close interaction with the local villagers and also administrative officials.

Accompanied by a team of officials and local representatives, Thakur interacted with local villagers in Kharnak and Samad among others and listened to their concerns and aspirations.
At Kharnak, he also inaugurated the PMGSY road connecting the highway of Dadh Kharnak.
During one of his interactions with locals, the minister asserted that after the formation of the Union territory, a lot of development has taken place in Ladakh such as direct funding, 24-hour electricity, installation of solar plant, increased livelihood opportunity, and sanction of 375 mobile towers in Leh.
He also unveiled plans for future initiatives that would further enhance the development of Changthang and surrounding villages. These initiatives include upgrading infrastructure for better connectivity, and promoting eco-tourism to leverage the region’s natural beauty.
Thakur assured the villagers that the government would provide all necessary support and resources to implement these plans effectively.
The concerted effort of the government would lead to increased tourism development in Changthang, he added.

Residents of Chinpazpora in Bandipora Express Concern as Water Starts Inundating Residential Areas

[ad_1]
Babar Rather
Bandipora, Jul 10 (GNS): In a worrying development, water from the Naz Nallah Channel of Walur lake has started entering residential areas in village Chinpazpora of Ajas in Bandipora district.
A local Parvaiz Ahmad told GNS that the main cause of concern for them is the dysfunctional state of the Zadwa gauge – a crucial gate controlling the water levels from Wular Lake.
“Due to this malfunction, the water has started to seep into the residential areas of Chinpazpora village,” he said.
Worried villagers expressed apprehensions that if the gauge is not restored and closed promptly, the water may eventually submerge their homes in the coming days even as the link road is already partially submerged.
The residents expressed their disappointment over WUCMA’s failure to live up to its assurances’ of increasing the water holding capacity of Wular Lake. They claimed that a substantial amount of funds has been spent on this endeavor, but the situation on the ground tells a different story.
The villagers have appealed to the WUCMA authorities and the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Bandipora to urgently intervene and address the imminent issue to mitigate the threat posed by the surging water levels.
When contacted, Coordinator WUCMA Irfan Rasool said that he will look into the matter.

It remains to be seen how the authorities will tackle this situation and provide relief to the residents of Chinpazpora. (GNS)

AIMIM Bihar chief stopped from visiting Ram Navami violence-hit areas

[ad_1]
Days after of Ram Navami communal clashes in Bihar Sharif, the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) group led by its Bihar unit president Akhtarul Iman tried to visit the violence-hit area in Bihar Sharif on Thursday, was stopped by Bihar authorities.
While taking a dig at Nitish Kumar, AIMIM’s sole MLA Iman alleged that the CM of Bihar has used Nalanda District Administration for stopping them from visiting Bihar Sharif.
“Earlier same DM Nalanda had given permission to visit Bihar Sharif. We will continue to raise our voices for minorities and weaker sections. Mr Nitish Kumar is busy in Iftaar Party but no time to visit Bihar Sharif,” he alleged.

Iman also alleged that he was halted earlier too when he wanted to visit the violence-hit city to take stock of the situation there.
“On April 4, I informed DM about my visit to Bihar Sharif and he responded that the authorities are controlling the situation and asked me to come later. When I questioned about the visits of BJP, Congress and other party leaders then why I am not allowed to visit there, he told me that they had come to meet me,” he said.
He went on to say, “I asked DM what compensation has been decided for those whose homes have been burnt down “
On Wednesday, before visiting Bihar Sharif, Iman attacked Bihar CM Nitish Kumar over his previous connection with BJP.
“Our honourable CM Nitish Kumar is the feeder of all rioters in Bihar because they are associated with BJP,” Iman alleged.

Earlier on Tuesday at a press conference, Owaisi condemned the anti-muslim flare-up during the Ram Navami festivities in Bihar AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi down heavily on the Nitish Kumar government and alleged the CM of Bihar has no remorse over the fatal communal clashes.
Owaisi termed the episode of Bihar Sharif a complete failure of the state government and alleged they failed to take appropriate action to stop the violence despite knowing such situations might rise.
“Whenever there is violence in a state, the accountability falls on the state government. Mosque and Madrasa Azizia in Bihar Sharif were burnt down, and shops, vehicles, and homes belonging to Muslims were targeted,” Owaisi said.
“This clearly shows that there is a big plot behind it. Nitish and Tejaswi’s governments knew Nalanda is a communally sensitive district, yet violence erupted there. He (Nitish Kumar) has no remorse, yesterday he even attended an iftar party,” he added.
However, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on Wednesday rejected BJP and AIMIM’s allegations of administration failure in the recent communal violence.
Nitish Kumar claimed that the communal disturbances at both places were cleverly plotted by some people.
While making a veiled attack on Union home minister Amit Shah, he said, in one place where he (Shah) had to visit, the clashes were deliberately orchestrated. The other place is Bihar Sharif. The type of mischief they planned in Bihar Sharif, it all will be exposed after a few days.”
Nitish stated that Shah cancelled his visit to Sasaram which was scheduled for Sunday to address a rally in honour of Mauryan emperor Ashoka.
On Sunday, Nitish Kumar held a high-level meeting over the violence in Sarsaram and Bihar Sharif.
He directed state police to be vigilant and announced an ex-gratia amount of Rs 5 lakh for the kin of the deceased.
During the Ram Navami festival, in Nalanda’s Bihar Sharif, one person died and several others were injured after fatal communal clashes broke out. Sarsaram town of Rohatas district also witnessed a blast in which six people were injured.
On Sunday, Nalanda police stated that more than 75 people were arrested in raids after the clashes.

Deliberate entry of Ram Navami processions in minority areas without permission: Mamata

[ad_1]
Khejuri: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday alleged that the BJP was deliberately taking out rallies in minority areas of the state without permission.
Banerjee’s comments come a day after clashes broke out between two groups during a Ram Navami procession in Rishra and Serampore in Hooghly district.
“Why will there be Ram Navami processions for five days? You can organise several such rallies on the day it is celebrated. We will have no objection… But, do not carry arms with you,” Banerjee said at a public distribution program here at Thakurnagar Ground.

“They (BJP) are deliberately entering minority areas with such processions without permission. Yesterday in Rishra, too, they took out rallies in which people were seen with arms,” she claimed.
Violence during Ram Navami celebrations also rocked parts of the Howrah district on Thursday and Friday, leading to the arrest of 45 people.

The roof level will be used for the first time, and in the event that the interior spaces of the Grand Mosque are full, the northern and western courtyards and parts of the service buildings will be used as it expands to accommodate more visitors.
