    Aquib, a 12th-class student of Government Higher Secondary School, is the first youth of Kashmir whose name has entered the ‘India Book of Records’ in the ‘Innovation and Technology’ category.

    “Since childhood, I used to open up toys and other electronic devices at home, for which my parents used to scold me. However, this habit yielded positive results after the Manak Awards competition by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, was announced where I won the Inspire Award for four consecutive years,” Aquib told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO).

    Recently, Aquib applied for the innovation conclave at IIT Kanpur, where his idea was selected. He attended the recently-held ‘Innovation Hunt’ held at Sri Pratap College and also sent an innovative idea for review to the University of Kashmir’s Incubation Centre.

    Meanwhile, SSP Ganderbal Nikhil Borkar who was accompanied by DySP Hqrs Gh Hassan felicitated the Aquib at DPO Ganderbal.

    Aquib “is an inspiration for his fellow students in the area,” the SSP said.

    He said police appreciated and felicitated the young boy with an aim to promote the local talent and encourage the positive and constructive activities of youth in the area.

    The SSP appreciated the young innovator and assured full support for his future endeavours—(KNO)

If I keep on delaying, such a situation will come…. It is very necessary to fix it and to conduct the entrance test on time”.

    “To ensure that no one is left out, the ministry has extended the cut-off date for all those MBBS students who are yet to complete their internship.

  • Special Prayers Organised Across Kashmir For Turkey, Syria Earthquake Victims

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: Prayers were organised in all the major mosques, shrines and imambarahs of the valley including the historic Central Jamia Masjid Srinagar, for those who lost their lives in the devastating earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria earlier this week.

    The devastation following the massive earthquake continues to spread, as the death toll in Turkey and Syria crosses 21,000.

    At Jama Masjid Srinagar, the prayers were led by Imam Hai Moulana Ahmad Saeed Naqshbandi, who on behalf of the people of Kashmir, expressed sympathy and solidarity with the people of Turkiye and Syria and prayed for eternal peace to the departed souls and speedy recovery to those injured.

    He also expressed strong resentment against the authorities for keeping the valley’s top religious leader Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq continuously under detention for the last three and a half years, and termed it extremely unfortunate and condemnable, Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid said in a statement.

    He said that due to the continued detention of Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir, the mimbar-o-mihrab (pulpit) of the Central Jama Masjid has been constantly silent for all these years and he is also unable to discharge his religious duties towards the people.

    Imam Naqshbandi appealed to the authorities to end the prolonged and unjustified detention of Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir and release him before Shab-e-Mehraj-ul-Nabi- PBUH.

    On the occasion, the people who had come from various parts of the valley to perform Friday prayers in the Jama Masjid also expressed great anger against the continued detention of Mirwaiz and protested against the ‘dictatorial behaviour of the authorities’, the statement added.

  • Govt Orders Ban On Sale Of Land Belonging To ‘Missing Persons’

    Govt Orders Ban On Sale Of Land Belonging To ‘Missing Persons’

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: The administration has issued another order and asked tehsildars to make sure that agricultural land of missing people is not sold by their family members or that crop proceeds are not used by any third party.

    This comes as the crackdown on properties in Jammu and Kashmir that are allegedly encroaching government land continues.

    “It has been brought to my notice that in Tehsil Tangmarg that there are some land patches, belongs to those persons who are not traceable,” reads the order issued by the divisional commissioner Kashmir.

    It reads that they are neither traceable nor receive their share of crop yield and in such a situation there is difficulty in getting such land mutated.

    “In such situation the Standing Order No:23-A is clearly stipulates that for a period of more than 7 years, whenever any land holder is absent from the village and does not cultivate the land or do not take share of the produce, he shall be designated as “GAIR HAZIR/GAIR KABIZ” (not present / not in occupation) and the person who is in possession the land, is to be recorded as “KABIZ”.In such a situation, after making reasonable efforts/ enquiry; the concerned Tehsildar shall presume that he is dead and pass orders on the case accordingly. Before making formal entry into revenue record, he shall also get it confirmed/ approved from the District Collector concerned,” it added.

    “The share of such “GAIR HAZIR/GAIR KABIZ” persons may be allowed to be used by the family members/ other co-sharers (in blood relation). However, they shall not be entitled to sell, gift or in any manner alienate the share of such “GAIR HAZIR/GAIR KABIZ” persons or create 3rd party interest in the property in any manner. No FARD-INTIKHAB of such lands shall be issued,” it further added.

    “Necessary entry in this regard also shall be made by the concerned Tehsildar. Specific input from the office of Special DG, CID has been received, in which it is apprehended that such ‘GairHazir- GairKabiz’ properties are used for financiering militancy. There are specific instances of misuse. In such a situation, strict preventive action needs to be taken on priority,” reads the order.

    It reads that above provisions shall not be applicable to the immovable property of Migrants. As provisions of J & K Migrant Immovable Property (Prevention, Protection and Restraint on Distress Sale) Act, 1997 have superseding effect over all other laws.

    “In this backdrop, you are directed to take immediate necessary action in light of above directions/ instructions in the matter,” it added.
