    Srinagar, Apr 20: Markets in Kashmir witnessed thin footfall of shoppers ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr with many blaming inflation for hitting Eid budget.

    Shopkeepers from several markets told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that they were expecting a good sale but said the markets lacked enthusiasm.

    People were seen jostling and swarming around mutton and bakeries shops. But the overall market sentiment was low, said shopkeepers.

    Jahangir Ahmad, a shopkeeper at Pulwama town told KNO despite Covid restrictions in the last two years, sales were good and whosoever was visiting shop was at least purchasing an item or two at least.

    But he said that this time sales remained all time low because customers are not in a position to afford.

    “Inflation and poverty due to Covid-19 lockdowns have badly hit J&K and the poor are hardly able to fill their bellies,” he said.

    Javaid Ahmad, a shopkeeper dealing with readymade garments said that he used to sale lakhs on festive occasions and whosoever was visiting his shop used to buy at least an item or two. But this year very few customers are visiting his shop and one out of ten customers are able to afford an item.

    He said that unemployment is at its peak, poor people have become poorer in last few years and they are hardly able to cater to the requirement of essential items.

    They said that on one hand the rates of essential items like rice have doubled in last few months and on the other hand most people don’t have any are jobless.

    “Most people come to markets to purchase essential items only while sales for other shopkeepers is below par,” shopkeepers said—(KNO)

  • India’s need for water increasing with growing population: Shekhawat

    India’s need for water increasing with growing population: Shekhawat

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: With India becoming the most populous country in the world, its need for water is increasing, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said here on Thursday.

    The central government is working towards fulfiling the country’s water requirement, the Jal Shakti minister said at the 16th Civil Services Day.

    According to United Nations estimates, India has become the most populous country in the world with 142.86 crore people.

    “We have become the most populated country in the world though the official figures are yet to come out. We are also the fastest growing economy in the world and our need for water is also increasing,” he said.

    Underlining that water-bearing capacity has to be increased, Shekhawat said while the country’s present requirement of water stands at 1,100 billion cubic metres, it is likely to exceed the 1,500 billion cubic metre-mark by 2050.

    The minister highlighted that the BJP-led central government concentrated on the last mile saturation.

    “But achieving last mile saturation needed a lot of work and bureaucrats played a very important role in fulfilling India’s target set under the Jal Jeevan mission,” he said, adding, “This government gave freedom to bureaucrats to work freely”.

    Shekhawat added that development work done by India has inspired the whole world.

  • Junk Food And Sedentary Lifestyle Behind Increasing Childhood Obesity In Kashmir: DAK

    Junk Food And Sedentary Lifestyle Behind Increasing Childhood Obesity In Kashmir: DAK

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: The Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) has expressed concern over the increasing number of obesity cases among children in the Kashmir valley. On World Obesity Day, Dr Nisar ul Hassan highlighted that junk food and a sedentary lifestyle are the primary factors contributing to this issue. According to the latest National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), the percentage of obesity among children in Kashmir has increased from 2.1% in NFHS-4 (conducted in 2015-16) to 3.4% in NFHS-5 (conducted in 2019-20).

    Dr Hassan emphasized that the shift towards junk food, which has replaced homemade meals, is a major contributing factor. Children are consuming fast food like burgers, pizzas, chips, sugary drinks, and frozen ready meals. He also highlighted that television advertisements targeting children and junk food sold in school cafeterias are promoting unhealthy dietary habits. Furthermore, high dependency on smartphones has led to children leading sedentary lifestyles, which is another contributing factor.

    Childhood obesity has been linked to several health conditions such as diabetes, asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, joint problems, and liver disease. Dr Nisar stressed the need for parents to encourage their children to adopt healthy eating habits and participate in sports during leisure time to prevent obesity. Preventing obesity helps protect children’s health in the present and future.

    Dr Nisar called for increased awareness and action to eliminate obesity, which is becoming a major health crisis. He also emphasized the importance of educating parents to prevent their children from becoming obese.
