BSF airlifts 3 critical patients from snow-bound Tangdhar Sector in Kupwara
Apart from evacuation of patients, BSF chopper carried four bodies from Tanghdar to Kupwara for their last rites, which could not be carried out for past five days due to heavy snow fall and closure of road, a BSF spokesperson said.
Tanghdar remains cut off from rest of the Kashmir Valley due to heavy snow accumulation at Sadhana Pass during winter season. Resultantly, the border population suffers due to lack of medical treatment.
As a border guarding force, BSF is not just protecting the Line of Control, but working closely with the civil administration in looking after welfare and emergency needs of border population.

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Nearly 6 days after remaining in a mortuary at District Hospital Handwara, corpses of four Tangdhar residents were airlifted in a chopper, lent by Border Security Forces, to their native places here on Monday.
As reported, bodies of four persons namely Shabir Ahmad Khawaja son of Abdul Rasheed, resident of Dildar Karnah, who passed on February 8 at Bemina Srinagar; Sahib Jan wife of Ali Shan Bhadana, resident of Amrohi, who passed at SMHS Hospital Srinagar February 9; Mohammad Saeed son of Mohammad Yaqoob Qureshi, resident of Nawagabra who passed at SKIMS Soura and one Haleema Fatima, resident of Panjtaran, which reached the hospital on Sunday night, were kept in the mortuary at District Hospital Handwara, due to blockade of roads in the aftermath of recent snowfall.
After fervent appeal by the bereaved families to district administration and other relevant offices, district administration Kupwara reciprocated well and requisitioned for the chopper services to airlift the bodies.
Deputy Commissioner Kupwara Dr Doifode Sagar Dattatray had a few days before said that the office has sent a chopper requisition to lift the bodies as per flying conditions.
The bodies (alongside attendants) were accordingly evacuated in an ambulance from District Hospital Handwara at 8:55 AM to Zangli, from where they were boarded in a chopper, lent by Border Security Forces, at 9:24 AM on Monday.
Quoting an official news agency GNS reported that it normally takes some 20 odd minutes for a chopper to reach Tangdhar from Zangli launchpad.
Before leaving DH Handwara, the bereaved families extended their gratitude to District Administration Kupwara and Handwara Hospital management for making it possible for them to take the bodies back to their native places.
“We are highly thankful to Deputy Commissioner Kupwara Dr Doifode Sagar Dattaray, Medical Superintendent District Hospital Handwara Dr Nissar Ahmad, SSP Kupwara Yougal Manhas and Border Security Forces for all the assistance provided”, they said.

In a somewhat similar case, the district administration alongside DH Handwara, dispatched bodies of two elderly persons to their native places, Karnah and Tangdhar, earlier this month.

Supreme Court Dismisses Plea Challenging Delimitation In JK

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The Supreme Court Monday dismissed a petition challenging the delimitation of Assembly and parliamentary constituencies in Jammu and Kashmir, according to Bar and Bench.
Dismissing the plea filed by two Kashmir residents — Abdul Gani Khan and Muhammad Ayub Matto — the bench comprising Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and AS Oka said that it has not ruled upon the validity of the Jammu & Kashmir Re-organisation Act, 2019, which is pending before the Supreme Court among the batch of petitions challenging the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution.
Delimitation is the act of redrawing boundaries of an Assembly or Lok Sabha seat to represent changes in population over time. A commission set up by the Centre submitted its final report for the delimitation in Jammu and Kashmir in May last year.
In December, the apex court reserved its judgment on a plea challenging constitution of the commission. The petitioners had argued that under the 2019 Act, only the Election Commission is empowered to conduct the delimitation exercise. However, the Centre stated that the J&K Reorganisation Act of 2019 mandates the commission to do it, reported Bar and Bench .
