Lt Governor Inaugurates Special Governance Camps for Kashmiri Migrants

[ad_1]
JAMMU, FEBRUARY 04: The Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha inaugurated Special Governance Camp for Kashmiri Migrants at Jagti Colony.
The 12-day long camp at 6 locations is aimed to ensure 100% saturation of Social security schemes for Kashmiri migrants. 18 departments have put up their stalls at the camp including the facilities for enrolment of youth for self employment, skilling and up-skilling.
Speaking on the occasion, the Lt Governor said, Administration is sensitive to the issues of Kashmiri Migrant families and PM Package Employees.
“Few unfortunate incidents had occurred. These attacks were not only on individuals but also on the integrity of India. There are a handful of people, who on the behest of the neighboring country are targeting innocent civilians. Under the guidance of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, we are working with full sensitivity and commitment to address all the issues,” the Lt Governor told the gathering.
The Lt Governor also observed that many PM Package Employees have resumed their duties and the direction has been issued to release their pending salaries without delay.
The Lt Governor strongly refuted the quote by the Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi, and asserted that he has made no such statement and it has been attributed to him with malicious intent.
“It is completely fabricated and full of lies. I have never used such words for anyone in my entire life. It is my firm belief that anyone who needs help should always be given priority. My doors are open 24 hours for those who has any problem. We are creating an environment to address your issues, efforts are being made for welfare of your children and families to ensure that entire community can contribute in the progress of J&K like it did in the past,” Lt Governor said.
The Lt Governor said, directive has been issued to organize such special governance camps for POJK brothers and sisters to ensure saturation of social security schemes, self-employment and skilling.

He also highlighted that almost all the posts under PM Package have been filled and the UT Government has made all the arrangements for construction of 6000 dwellings.
“Except two, the construction is underway on all the sites. I am personally monitoring the progress. By this April, 1200 houses and till December 2700 houses will be ready. All the pending promotions were completed recently. The process of promotion from Non-gazetted to gazetted is going on and I hope that it will be completed by the end of this month,” the Lt Governor said.
He also said that 80% to 85% PM Package employees are posted at district headquarters. Some are posted at tehsil headquarters after the security audit of the areas. We have ensured that no one is posted at any office or school situated in remote isolated area, he added.
“We are committed to fulfill the expectation of people. Earlier, the laws were formulated to retrieve the properties of Kashmiri Pandit brothers but it was not implemented. We have taken immediate action and out of 8000 applications received on Migrant Portal around 6000 cases have been resolved. The administration and the security forces are working with dedication to ensure your safety,” the Lt Governor said.
The Lt Governor directed the concerned departments for the up-gradation of community hall and a playground.
Sh Nazim Zai Khan, Secretary, Disaster Management, Relief, Rehabilitation & Reconstruction; Sh Ramesh Kumar, Divisional Commissioner, Jammu; Sh KK Sidha, Commissioner, Relief & Rehabilitation and other senior officers were also present.

Hyderabad: Kashmiri apparel sellers draw attention at Numaish

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Hyderabad has become a temporary home for sellers from across the country with businessmen from different parts of the nation setting up stalls at the 82nd All India Industrial Exhibition Numaish 2023.

A customer who visited to purchase Kashmiri clothes expressed happiness over the quality of the Kashmiri clothes.
“The apparel in this stall is very unique with exceptional quality. Since we can not go to Kashmir every day, this stall provides us with an opportunity to buy good quality original Kashmiri clothes,” said Nimi Khasimpuri, the customer.
Another customer, Hema Jaiswal said, “We have been visiting the Numaish exhibition since childhood and have been buying Kashmiri clothes.”
The annual extravaganza, ‘Numaish’, which is hosted by Hyderabad every year, recently opened for visitors at Exhibition Grounds in Nampally.

The 82nd edition of All India Industrial Exhibition Numaish 2023 was organised on January 1 and will continue till February 15.
Departments of state and central government, along with vendors across the nation, set up stalls at the exhibition every year.

The delegation briefed him about their problems, including the target killings of minority community members by the terrorists. They also invited Gandhi to visit the Jagti migrant township on the Jammu-Srinagar highway and sources in the delegation said the Congress leader has accepted the invitation.
Delegation members said that they had good interaction with Gandhi, who was briefed about the various problems of the community, especially those faced by migrant members recruited under the Prime Minister’s package and are posted in the Valley.
Gandhi was informed that the salaries of these migrant employees have not been paid for seven months after they left the Valley in the wake of target killings of the members of minority community in 2022.
Most migrant employees working in the Valley left out of fear in May 2022 when Rahul Bhat was killed by the terrorists inside his office in Budgam district.
The delegation also raised the demand for enhancement of relief given to migrant families living outside the Valley.

Hyderabad: Indulge in delicious cup of Kashmiri Khawa at Numaish

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Every Hyderabadi becomes gluttonous when we talk of Biryani. The city residents love to explore new food varieties. Alongside Biryani, which is a beloved staple food in the menus of Hyderabadi restaurants, the people have also adopted Arabic and Middle East dishes like Mandi, Kunafa etc. After having meals which are usually special, most of the Hyderabadis love to have Irani Chai (tea). But today in this write-up we will share with you the special and classic drink which you should not miss this winter.
Hyderabadis have developed a fad for ‘Numaish’ which takes place only once a year. The city residents come out in large numbers to enjoy the shopping, food and the festive atmosphere. The fair offers a wide variety of products from clothes, jewellery, handicrafts from different states, to food and much more. Numaish is not just a fair, it’s an experience that Hyderabadis look forward to every year.
But what makes ‘Numaish’ more special for guzzlers of the city this year is ‘Kashmiri Khawa’.
The luscious Kashmiri Khawa is not only soul-warming drink but it is an emotion to Kashmiris. It is a kind of green tea and has significant nutritional values. So, if you feel exhausted after haggling over buying some beautiful things in the Numaish, just have a sip of Khawa to recharge yourself!
What is Khawa?
It is believed that ‘Khawa’ is derived from the Kashmir word ‘Kha’ which means eleven(11). Khawa is actually a green tea infused with 11 different spices best grown in the valley of Kashmir. The spices used are cinnamon (dalchini), saffron(kesar), cardamom(elaichi), dried rose petals, cloves (laung) etc. The colour of this special tea becomes golden-yellow once it is ready to serve. So, enjoy this cuppa that has chopped almonds floating.

Nutritional Value of Khawa
Kashmiri Khawa which is full of rich ingredients builds the immune system, helps to burn fat and relieve stress. It is also used to improve the digestive system and acts as an energy booster. There is also an old belief in Kashmir that Khawa gives glow to your skin as it helps in curing acne, dryness and dark circles.
Where to get best Khawa sip in Numaish?
A Kashmiri man with over eight years of experience is serving up delicious cups of Khawa to Hyderabadis at Numaish.
According to Mohammad Akram Dar, who hails from the Baramulla district of Kashmir, the Khawa is not only a tea but a medicine used to treat cough, cold, fever and other ailments. Speaking to Siasat.com, Akram said that he wants to stimulate and encourage people to have a sip of healthy drink instead of wine or any other toxic drug. He has set his heart on promoting Kashmiri traditions and culture.

”I have been serving Khawa outside Kashmir since 2012. I used to serve it at birthdays and other parties. Right now, I am serving this special Kashmiri beverage for the first time in Numaish at Hyderabad. My aim is to carry forward what our ancestors used to eat, drink and wear,” said Akram Dar.
He further added, “I want Hyderabadis to come and enjoy Khawa as it has abundant health benefits. I am making this succulent and luscious Khawa just to tell people that healthy beverages/ drinks can also be so scrumptious that after having a sip you can feel like you are in heaven.”
Akram Dar is also actively participating in drug deduction programmes across Kashmir and is seen urging people to keep away from drugs while serving Khawa to them here in Hyderabad. He has also started serving ‘Kashmiri Pink Tea’ which is locally known as ‘Noon Chai”. He also plans to introduce ‘Wazwan’ in the exhibition here next year.
So, if you want to have a cuppa here, then visit Mohammad Akram Dar’s stall which is located near to Bademiya Kebabs in the Numaish. The texture and nutty flavour of Khawa is sure to delight your taste buds and transport you to the beautiful valley of Kashmir!

Guide dupes Kashmiri pilgrims leaving them mid-way in Beirut (capital city of Lebanon) – Kashmir News

[ad_1]
Srinagar, Jan 21: A self-styled ‘Guide’ has duped at least 10 Kashmiri pilgrims, after taking money from them to show sacred shrines and places in Iran, Iraq and other countries, leaving them mid-way in Beirut, the capital city of Lebanon.
At least 10 pilgrims are stuck in Delhi this time, requesting Jammu and Kashmir Administration to help them return home as they are without money.
One of the pilgrims Ghulam Hasan Wani of Devar Yekmanpora village of Singhpora Pattan told the news agency Kashmir News Trust over the phone from Delhi that a Guide Syed Nasir from Harinara Pattan took Rs one lakh per person to help them in pilgrimage to Karbala and others sacred site.
“After performing pilgrimage, the guide left us mid-way in Beirut without informing us. He is still absconding. We suffered heavily as we were not having money with us. We sold our valuables including the earrings and gold chains of women pilgrims accompanying us. Somehow we have managed to reach New Delhi,” he said.
The pilgrims said that they have no money to return back to Valley as they have no money and are starving.
They appealed to LG Manoj Sinha led administration to help them in returning home and direct police to take action against the guide.
“We can’t narrate our sufferings in words. We are illiterates and yet he (Guide) left us in the lurch,” said a woman pilgrim. (KNT)

While Raising The Tricolour, A Kashmiri Youth Lost His Hand And Leg In Kishtwar

[ad_1]
The “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign was in full swing in August 2022, both nationally and especially in Jammu and Kashmir. The people actively participated in this initiative.
On one side, people were busy decorating their homes’ roofs with the tricolour flag on August 13.
According to The Chenab Times video report, Mohammad Anwar, a native of Jammu and Kashmir’s Kapran Shahabad Veerinag, is a young man who came to Kishtwar district for study because of his poor financial situation and was forced to accept employment at a man’s home in Kishtwar. But Anwar described the good nature of his master, in whose home he was living in Kishtwar, as they paid his medical expenses until now after this incident.
The tragedy
The tragic incident with Anwar happened on August 13. When the landlord of Muhammad Anwar asked him to bring a pipe so that he can install the tricolour flag at the residence, Anwar held an iron pipe, and while standing the pipe, it came into contact with a power transmission line, due to which Anwar was electrocuted. The landlord of Anwar immediately took him to the District Hospital Kishtwar, from where he was referred to SKIMS Soura in Srinagar. In this tragic incident, Anwar lost his right hand and leg completely.

Unfortunately, as of November 15, there is no FIR regarding this incident, according to Anwar. When a Chenab Times correspondent asked him whether any police officials had met or visited him, he said that no one met him after this incident. On November 14, he went back to Kishtwar to lodge an FIR so that he could get compensation from the concerned authorities because he was now handicapped and could not earn for his family.
Police response
When CT tried to contact Jammu and Kashmir Police officials in Kishtwar, no calls were received. An official saw our WhatsApp message but didn’t respond until the day this report is filed. We contacted Anwar’s lawyer; he said that they had moved to court regarding this, and the court has directed the police to lodge an FIR.
The unanswered questions
The question is whether Anwar will get compensation for living his life or whether he will keep knocking on doors for help. For losing his hand and leg for the tricolour, whether the Jammu and Kashmir government give honour to him and help him or not. These questions will remain unanswered until some practical developments take place.
