    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: A student from National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar has earned 1.23 lakh profit from his investment in the share market during the past one week and has decided to donate the entire amount among marginalized sections of society.

    Tabrez Alam, 8th-semester student from the Department of Information Technology is all set to donate his profit of investments among marginalized sections of society including students.

    In his message, Director NIT Srinagar Prof Rakesh Sehgal appreciated Tabrez Alam for the noble initiative. Donations can provide essential support to individuals and communities who are struggling with poverty, illness, or other challenges, he said.

    “By donating, individuals can inspire others to give and contribute to creating a culture of generosity and compassion,” Prof. Sehgal said, adding that NIT Srinagar students should become a ray of hope for the society.

    Institute’s Registrar, Prof. Syed Kaiser Bukhari said donation is a powerful tool for creating positive change in the world and helping those in need. By giving to others, we can make a difference in their lives and contribute to building a better future for all, he said.

  • After Three Year Hiatus, Taraweeh Prayers Return To Jamia Masjid On Shab E Qadr

    After Three Year Hiatus, Taraweeh Prayers Return To Jamia Masjid On Shab E Qadr

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: The holy month of Ramadan is one of the most significant periods for Muslims worldwide, and it is celebrated with great fervour in Jammu & Kashmir as well. The month of Ramadan is observed by Muslims as a time for self-reflection, spiritual growth, and increased devotion to Allah. The highlight of this month is the Shab-e-Qadr or the Night of Power, which is considered one of the holiest nights in Islam.

    This year, Shab-e-Qadr was celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion throughout Jammu & Kashmir. After a gap of three years, the Isha and Taraweeh prayers were held in the historic Jama Masjid Srinagar, the spiritual hub of Kashmiri Muslims. A large number of people from across the valley gathered at the grand mosque to seek forgiveness from Allah on this Night of Power.

    The Jama Masjid Srinagar is a significant religious landmark in Jammu & Kashmir and has been the center of Islamic teachings and spirituality for centuries. The mosque has played a vital role in shaping the religious and cultural identity of the people of the valley.

    However, this year’s celebrations were marred by the absence of Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq, the head of Anjuman Auqaf Jama Masjid. Dr Farooq has been under detention for nearly four years, and as per the statement issued by Anjuman, he could not lead the collective prayer or deliver the sermon on the Night of Power.

    The Anjuman expressed its disappointment at Dr Farooq’s continued detention and called for his unconditional release on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr. The Anjuman also expressed hope that the authorities would consider the importance of Dr Farooq’s role in the religious and spiritual life of the people of Jammu & Kashmir.

  • Mutton Crazy Kashmir Consumes Over 800 Truckloads Of Sheep This Ramadhan

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: Amidst fluctuating mutton rates, the demand for mutton has increased in the Valley with over 800 truckloads of sheep consumed during the holy month of Ramadan so far.

    “Nearly 30-35 trucks loaded with sheep arrive in Kashmir on a regular basis in the past 27 days of Ramadan,” Mehraj ud Din, General Secretary of Mutton Dealers Association said.

    He said that there is no shortage of mutton in Kashmir, adding that the shortage of mutton would be possible in case the highway is closed for vehicular movement amid the prevalent weather conditions.

    The General Secretary of the association further informed that so far a total of 811 trucks loaded with Sheep arrived in Kashmir since the beginning of Ramadan. “30-35 trucks arrive in Kashmir on a daily basis. The number of trucks ahead of Eid will go up to 160 a day,” he said.

    Moreover, the consumers continue to complain that the mutton is being sold at Rs 650-700 per kg, adding that there has been no proper check on the ground as it seems that the mutton dealers and butchers have been let loose to loot the public as per their will.

    “One fails to understand the need of issuing a rate list when it is not being implemented on the ground. It seems that the authorities concerned are reluctant to act against the mutton dealers and have been maintaining silence over the issue,” a consumer said.

    He further said that a few months back, the concerned officials started a drive to act tough against the mutton dealers, but all in vain as the step has not yield any results for the consumers. (KNO)

  • Minimal Access Heart Surgery Successfully Performed At Super Speciality Hospital

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: A minimally invasive heart surgery was performed at the Super Specialty Hospital (SSH) in Jammu.

    Dr Shyam Singh, the Chief Surgeon at SSH, said that heart surgeries through small incisions have evolved over the years and become standardized. “These procedures need expertise and perseverance to make them a routine,” he said after carrying out a Heart Valve replacement procedure on a young female patient with Rheumatic Heart Disease from a far-off village called Chansri, Mughal Maidan Kishtwar.

    In this procedure, Dr Singh said, a small incision is made below the right breast to undertake the entire operation, and the fine scar hides in the breast crease and is cosmetic in female patients. The surgery requires less blood transfusion and less pain-relieving medication. The patient was able to move around in the ward the next morning, which is normally not possible in a conventional surgery, Dr Singh said.

    Furthermore, the patient had a rare blood group of O negative, and there was minimal blood loss during the procedure, according to Dr Singh.

    The surgical team included Dr Shyam Singh, Dr Ishtiyak Ahmed Mir, and Dr Arvind Kohli, while the anesthesia team was headed by Professor and HoD Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia Dr Puja Vimesh, who conducted the per-operative and postoperative management along with Dr Rasmeet Kour, Dr Vikas, Vikas Sharma, Arif, Sonal, and Abhiranjan. Charanjit Singh and Roshan Lal managed the vital parameters of the patient while the patient was on Heart lung machine during operation while theatre scrub sister Angmo helped to carry out the procedure.

    Principal GMC Jammu Professor Dr Shashi Sudan lauded the efforts of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Department of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiology to make such surgeries possible and routine at SSH Jammu under the Ayushman Bharat Scheme, for which the Patients do not have to pay from their pockets. She further said that the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeons (CTVS) has been routinely doing open heart surgeries for the last two years, and very shortly Bypass surgeries (CABG) shall also be started, which shall be followed by starting Super-speciality DNB CTVS courses.

    Dr Sudan said that the department has already applied for DNB Vascular Surgery courses and is most likely to get permission soon. (KNO)
