SC notices to Centre, NMC on plea for restoration of recognition of Telangana medical college

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Supreme Court has sought responses from the Centre and others on a plea by 38 post graduate students of a Telangana-based medical college challenging its non-recognition by the National Medical Commission (NMC).
A bench comprising Justices S Ravindra Bhat and Dipankar Datta took note of the submissions of senior lawyer Siddharth Bhatnagar and advocate Tanvi Dubey that the recognition of MNR Medical College and Hospital in Telangana has not been restored by the NMC despite a specific order of the high court plunging the future of students pursuing PG courses there into uncertainty.
The petition has been filed by Simhadri Ravi Shankar and 37 others pursuing different PG courses at the medical college located at Fasalwadi in Sangareddy district.

“The petitioners are grossly aggrieved by the alleged inaction on part of the NMC of not providing a specific order restoring the recognition as per the National Medical Commission Act, 2019 in favour of the MNR college for the PG course for academic year 2021-22, in terms of the November 28, 2022 order of the High Court,” one of the lawyers said.
The plea said the doctors have been left in the lurch due to NMC’s inaction.
“It is most humbly submitted that the candidates are shocked to note that despite an oral assurance given to the students by NMC on 27.03.2023, while the SLP filed by NMC … was heard, NMC has till date not complied with the direction passed by the Telangana High Court,” the plea, filed through Dubey, said.
The students have been suffering for almost one year without any fault on their part, it said, adding “Unfortunately, even after such a long delay and even after a specific direction of the High Court, there is no order of renewal of recognition yet.”
The petitioners are aggrieved candidates of MNR college 2021-22 batch of PG students.

The plea has sought a direction to the NMC to pass a specific order restoring the recognition as per the NMC Act, 2019 in favour of MNR for the PG course for academic year 2021-22 within a specified time period not exceeding one week.
The plea, alternatively, seeks a direction to the NMC to reallocate the PG students of MNR college of 2021-22 academic session to some other medical college.

Restoration of democracy must to rebuild trust in J&K: NC

[ad_1]
Srinagar, Apr 27 (GNS): National Conference Additional General Secretary Dr. Sheikh Mustafa Kamal on Thursday called for immediate confidence building measures to instil trust in the people of J&K.
Kamal said this while interacting with the party functionaries, here at the party headquarters Nawa-e-Subha, Srinagar.
It was promised that steps would be taken to restore mutual trust and confidence among the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he said adding, “The biggest step towards bridging the trust deficit gap would be by restoring a duly elected legislature and a representative government in J&K. There is a loss of trust which needs to be restored immediately and for that, to begin with, the Centre should work for restoration of complete statehood to Jammu and Kashmir at the earliest so that other democratic exercises could be carried forward.”
New Delhi has repeatedly said that it wants to accelerate J&K’s development and bring large investments to the region, he added saying, “Denying democratic rights to people will foster greater alienation, which could trigger a vicious cycle and make the job more difficult later. Releasing political detainees will be another step towards rebuilding eroded trust.” (GNS)

NC Demands Restoration Of Democracy In JK, Criticizes Centre’s Inaction

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: National Conference Chief Spokesperson Tanvir Sadiq on Saturday expressed disappointment at the apathy of the central government in restoring democracy in Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking to the media at the party headquarters Nawa-e-Subha, Tanvir said that the long-standing undemocratic rule has increased the hardships of the people.
“Recently, even the CEC had acknowledged the deepening void in J&K due to the lingering undemocratic rule. If he is aware of this fact, then why aren’t elections being held? They have been citing one excuse after another – first it was security, then it was weather, and then the run-up preparations for the election process. Now, when the weather is clear and the situation is admittedly normal, not holding the polls despite the ECI nod indicates that the BJP is afraid of the polls,” he said.
“We had an impression that the Election Commission doesn’t want to have polls in Jammu and Kashmir,” he added, saying, “When our representatives asked the Chief Election Commissioner why the ECI wasn’t holding the polls in J&K, the visiting delegation members were told that the commission has completed the delimitation exercise, the voter list is also prepared, polling booths are also identified, and election staff is also prepared, and that ECI is waiting for two things – weather and security clearance. It had made it clear to the delegation members that they were only waiting for weather and security. What holds them now from going with the exercise? Security, we are being told, has improved significantly, and the weather is clear.”
Sadiq contended that any further delay in the restoration of an elected legislator in J&K will make the democratic recovery of the beleaguered region unattainable. “The new model in place in Jammu and Kashmir is bereft of democratic moorings with no say of locals including Dogras, Kashmiris, Paharis, Gujjars in the decision-making process. Consequences of denying democratic rights to people would not augur well for the prized freedom, stability, and strength of our country. It will put the entire region on the path of terminal alienation,” he added. (GNS)

Iraq, Oman welcome restoration of Saudi Arabia-Iran ties

[ad_1]
Riyadh: Iraq and Oman welcomed on Friday the agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran to re-establish diplomatic ties, media reported.
The countries earlier on Friday said they would also open embassies and exchange ambassadors within a period of two months, the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
Iraq hailed “turning a new page” between Riyadh and Tehran, the country’s state press agency said on Friday. Oman also welcomed the plans, its foreign ministry said.
Saudi Arabia and Iran had thanked both Oman and Iraq for hosting previous talks in 2021 and 2022, Al Arabiya reported.
Saudi Arabia and Iran have agreed to re-establish diplomatic ties, reopen embassies and exchange ambassadors within a period of two months, the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said on Friday, Al Arabiya reported.
The decision to re-establish relations, which were severed in 2016, came following talks that took place from March 6 through March 10 in Beijing, SPA reported citing a trilateral statement issued by the Kingdom, Iran and China.
“Saudi Arabia and Iran agree to respect state sovereignty and not interfere in internal matters,” the statement said, adding that the two countries’ foreign ministers will meet soon to arrange for the exchange of envoys and discuss means to enhance ties, Al Arabiya reported.
Riyadh and Tehran also agreed to activate the security cooperation agreement signed in 2001 and the trade, economy and investment agreement signed in 1998.

According to the statement, China’s President Xi Jinping had made an initiative to host and sponsor talks between delegates from Iran and Saudi Arabia to resolve disputes via dialogue and diplomacy, Al Arabiya reported.
The Saudi delegation was headed by Minister of State and National Security Adviser Musaed bin Mohammed Al-Aiban, while the Iranian delegation was headed by Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council.
During the talks, China was represented by Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs Wang Yi.
Saudi Arabia and Iran thanked China for hosting and sponsoring the recent talks and for the efforts exerted to help them succeed. They also thanked Iraq and Oman for hosting dialogue sessions between the two countries’ representatives in 2021 and 2022, Al Arabiya reported.
“Saudi Arabia, Iran and China are keen on making all (necessary) efforts to strengthen regional and international peace and security.”
Saudi Arabia severed ties with Iran after two of its diplomatic posts were attacked in Tehran and Mashhad in 2016.

Early Elections and Restoration Of Statehood Way Forward: AS Dulat

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Ex-RAW chief AS Dulat has suggested early elections and the restoration of statehood as the way forward for Jammu and Kashmir. In an interview with Hindustan Times at an event in Chandigarh, Dulat stated that empathy is required for the region, just like the border-sensitive state of Punjab.
Dulat further stated that Kashmiris have reconciled themselves to the abrogation of Article 370, and the issue is now alive only in political rhetoric and the case in the Supreme Court. Since the situation in the Valley is under control, it is time to move forward politically.
Dulat suggested that if Prime Minister Narendra Modi were to visit Srinagar and announce elections and restore statehood, he would win over Kashmiris. Kashmiris want peace with honor and dignity, and the biggest fear for the past 25 years has been what will happen if they are reduced to a minority in their own land.
Dulat also defined Kashmiriyat as togetherness and cited the crowds that joined Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra on its last leg in Anantnag. He reiterated the message for New Delhi that Kashmir needs a leader who can manage the Valley and Delhi and understand both. He placed his trust in traditional mainstream parties of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly NC leader and former chief minister Farooq Abdullah.
“Rahul promoted the idea of India in Kashmir,” he said, reiterating the message for New Delhi. “Kashmir needs a leader who can manage the Valley and Delhi. A leader who understands both. NC leader and former chief minister Farooq Abdullah can bridge dil ki doori and dilli ki doori,” he said, reposing faith in traditional mainstream parties of Jammu and Kashmir.

Not A Single House Will Be Demolished For Doodh Ganga Restoration: Mayor Srinagar

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Mayor Srinagar, Junaid Azim Mattu on Monday held a detailed meeting with the residents and community elders of various localities and colonies on the stretch of Aloochi Bagh to Chattabal Doodhganda Rejuvenation and Restoration Project and assured the residents that no colonies will be displaced, nor any houses demolished – including the downtrodden colonies and slum settlements on this stretch. The meeting was also attended by Commissioner SMC and CEO Srinagar Smart City, Athar Aamir Khan, SE City Drainage in addition to senior officials and engineers.
The Mayor assured the local residents that the Doodhganga Canal Restoration and Rejuvenation Project was a vital flood mitigation project that would first and foremost benefit the residents and colonies in Aloochi Bagh, Haft Chinar, Batamaloo and Chattabal. The Mayor, while condemning traditional mischief mongers and agent provocateurs who were provoking the people and spreading misinformation, assured the residents that not a single residential colony, including slum structures, would be disturbed or affected by this project.
“The Public Notice that has been issued concerns encumbrances, obstacles and physical encroachments within and on top of the canal and does not pertain to residential colonies, houses or structures. Not a single house will be demolished by this project. It is my assurance to the residents that this wont be allowed. Contrary to what is being wrongly peddled by vested interests, this restoration project will resolve the longstanding issue of localised urban flooding and water-logging in these areas — benefiting the locals of these areas”, the Mayor said while interacting with the residents.
The Mayor also made it very clear that attempts to connect SMC with the ongoing land eviction and retrieval of State land drive were misleading and a larger deliberate ploy to spread misinformation and canards by a particular political party. “SMC is not involved in the ongoing drive in any way, shape or form – neither at the policy level nor at the execution level. A recent statement issued by a particular political party and its motley crew of corrupt former legislators is a shameful attempt to derive political dividends by misleading the downtrodden sections of the society. The administration’s ongoing drive does not involve the Srinagar Municipal Corporation and as the Mayor of Srinagar, I have formally urged the administration to put in place a humane and sympathetic policy of regularisation, especially for the poor and downtrodden sections of our society – keeping in view the fragile and sensitive economy of J&K”, the Mayor added.
“SMC’s enforcement jurisdiction and activities as mandated under a statutory duty under law constitute a routine process that is based on the Master Plan and its by-laws. Besides this normal, routine function that SMC performs in adherence to the law, not a single slum or structure will be demolished for any drive or any project by the Srinagar Municipal Corporation. SMC will abide by the judgements of the Hon’ble Supreme Court on the matter and work towards proposing the provision of dignity and rights to all slum dwellers. Those trying to hide their own greed and decades of misrule and misappropriation of public resources behind this misinformation campaign should introspect and understand the human costs and consequences of their provocations and instigations over the past three decades. Their penchant to provoke and instigate the poor, common-man on the street has filled our graveyards in Srinagar with our youth while they have given their own children very contrasting lives. We need no lectures from the murderers and tormentors of the children of Srinagar,” the Mayor said while speaking after the meeting.
“Those out playing conscience keepers and sympathisers of economically impoverished urban slum dwellers in Srinagar should be asked why they failed to rehabilitate the slum dwellers in Srinagar since four decades – giving them a life of dignity and respect – despite being elected as legislators multiple times. These economically disadvantaged fellow citizens and residents of Srinagar are like my own family and I will not allow any harm to come upon them at any cost. In my humble capacity as the Mayor, I – along with fellow Corporators and officers —have ensured multiple steps were taken to improve their day to day lives and extended basic facilities to these areas after they were deprived of these basic rights for decades by the same shameless people pretending to be sympathisers today,” the Mayor further said.
The Mayor said he has passed strict directions to ensure that no scope is left for misinterpretation of steps being taken for public and community welfare, such as the Doodhganga Rejuvenation and Restoration Project.

Hyderabad: Restoration of Gulzar Houz leads to ‘demolition’ rumours

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The state government here began restoration of the 16th century Gulzar Houz (fountain) in the Old City. On Monday night, workers started drilling out and removing concrete from the structure using a machine, leading to several false messages spreading on social media and also amongst local media, that the structure is being ‘demolished.
Using tin sheets, Gulzar Houz has been was covered from all sides by the contractor who is taking up the restoration works. A board put up at the site reads ‘ Deccan Terrain”, as the name of the heritage conservation company.
A person linked to the company said that restoration works at Gulzar Houz are being taken up for which first a study will be done on needs to be done to begin the actual process of restoring it. They expect the works to completed in two months time.
After noticing the workers at Gulzar Houz, people gathered in large numbers. The police were called and the cops dispersed the crowd after explaining about what was really going on, with regard to the restoration of the structure.
The Gulzar Houz was built some years after the Charminar, which was built as Hyderabad’s foundational monument in 1591 by Mohd Quli Qutb Shah, the city’s founder. The Gulzar Houz was originally called ‘Char Su Ka Houz’ (fountain of the four sides) and was built as a drinking water fountain for locals of the city.
The Golconda fort existed as a walled city until Hyderabad was built in 1591. The Qutb Shahi dynasty, which founded the city, ended in 1687.
However, after the destruction of Hyderabad in 1687 by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, and subsequently with the Nizams coming in (1724) as governors of the Decan, changes were made to Gular Houz. The old massive structure was eventually broken down to what it is today.
