Similarly, the Kashmir to Kanyakumari railway project is going to be completed soon,” he said. “Though air traffic is better now as compared to previous times, soon air restrictions will be eased and more flights will be operational in coming times.”
He also said that the government is committed to provide employment to the unemployed youth through different schemes and many youth have already been provided jobs through different schemes.

Parimpora Harassment Case: RTO Kashmir Cancels RCs Of Two More Vehicles

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The transport authorities in Kashmir ordered the suspension and cancellation of two more Registration Certificates (RCs) on Wednesday for “involved vehicles” in response to a case involving alleged harassment. The case pertains to allegations made by a family from the Srinagar outskirts that a group of boys riding two-wheelers harassed them.
By exercising powers under Section 54 of the MVA, 1988, the office of the Regional Transport Officer (RTO) Kashmir issued two separate orders calling for the suspension of the registration certificate of vehicle number JK01AS-1158 with immediate effect and the cancellation of the RC of vehicle number JK01AR-1634 for one year.
Meanwhile, the RTO Kashmir exercised powers under Section 180 of MVA, 1988, and imposed a penalty of Rs 5,000 upon Mehraj Din Ganaie, the present owner and possessor of the vehicle used in the “offence,” for allowing his vehicle to be driven by a person who did not possess a valid driving licence.
The order stated that “Hial Mehraj is complicit in the offence and has acted irresponsibly, not only allowing his vehicle No: JK01AS-1158 to be used in contravention of the provisions of this MVA, 1988, but also allowing his son Mr Hazik Mehraj, a juvenile to drive his vehicle.”
Last month, a video went viral on social media in which a family traveling in a car was seen seeking help while a group of youths on scooters chased and allegedly attacked them in the Parimpora area of Srinagar. Following the incident, Srinagar Police arrested the group of youths. (KNO)

Kashmiri Imam’s Devotion Rewarded With Ultimate Gift, An Umrah Package

[ad_1]
by Insha Shirazi
SRINAGAR: In a heart-warming gesture, Maulana Bilal Ahmad Nadvi, an Islamic cleric was gifted an Umrah package by the Masjid committee in the Mareed Mohalla area of North Kashmir’s Kupwara district. Nadvi had spent the entire month of Ramadan leading the Taraweeh prayers and reciting the holy Quran, an act of devotion that did not go unnoticed by the community.
The committee members of Mareed Mohalla expressed their gratitude for Maulana Nadvi’s dedication to his work, his ability to connect with the community, and his unwavering loyalty towards it. This gift was their way of showing their appreciation for his hard work and devotion during the holy month of Ramadan. Maulana Nadvi’s commitment to his work touched the hearts of the residents of Mareed Mohalla, who were deeply grateful for his tireless efforts to make their Ramadan special.
Showkat Ali, the chairman of the Masjid Committee, expressed his admiration for Maulana Bilal’s remarkable dedication to his work, saying, “We have been listening to the recitation of the Quran since our childhood, and this year we were mesmerized by the astonishing recitation of the Holy Quran by Maulana Bilal. His recitation was truly remarkable and touched the hearts of everyone present. We felt that we needed to do something special to show our appreciation for his hard work and devotion.”
Ali went on to reveal that the committee had decided to gift Maulana Bilal with an Umrah package, saying, “He will be leaving for the holy city of Mecca for Umrah soon. We hope that this small gesture will help to show him how much we value his efforts and dedication towards the community.”
Showkat emphasized that imams have a crucial role in spreading the teachings of Islam, and providing the Umrah package to Maulana Bilal is a significant gesture towards this cause. He also emphasized the need to recognize the imams’ work by providing them with good salaries, as they contribute immensely to the community.
Maulana Bilal stressed the importance of acknowledging the authority of imams throughout the year and supporting them from all parts of the valley, as they play a crucial role in educating the community about Islam.
Maulana Bilal expressed his gratitude towards the Masjid committee of Mareed Mohalla in Kupwara and said, “The gift of an Umrah package from the Masjid committee of Mareed Mohalla where I recite the Quran during Ramadan is a significant and thoughtful gesture. It is an honour and a blessing to receive this gift from the Almighty.”

The gesture made by the Masjid committee of Mareed Mohalla in Kupwara has been welcomed by everyone in the Kashmir valley. It is symbolic of the efforts and dedication of the imams in the region, who have received their education from various well-known Madarsas across India. Despite their immense contribution to the community, these imams are not well-known in the valley and are only occasionally acknowledged during the holy month of Ramadan or on significant holidays like Eid.
This initiative serves as a reminder of the pure spirit of Islam, which emphasizes the importance of recognizing and valuing the work of imams, who play a vital role in educating the community about Islam and its teachings. The gesture is not just a reward for Maulana Bilal Ahmad Nadvi but also recognition of the hard work and dedication of all the imams in the region who work tirelessly to spread the message of Islam.
