Thank you for Acknowledging Sir.

It is a matter of profound spiritual significance that for the first time since 1947, the Navratri pujas have been held in the historic Sharda Temple in Kashmir this year. Earlier in the year the Chaitra Navratri Puja was observed and now the mantras of the Shardiya Navratri puja resound in the shrine. I was fortunate to reopen the temple on 23rd March 2023 after restoration.

This not only signifies the return of peace in the valley but also marks the rekindling of our nation's spiritual and cultural flame under the leadership of PM @narendramodi Ji.

An ambulance meant for patients at Bandipora health centre is nowhere to be seen. BMO says it is on VIP duty, while CMO says it is unfit for roads. Both claims cannot be true—this apparent double speak demands clarification. @sakinaitoo @DHSKashmir @CM_JnK @OfficeOfLGJandK

Is there any liberty given to some drivers operating Tata Magic vehicles on the Gundpora–Bandipora route to puff charas while driving and then harass passengers?

The vehicle in this picture belongs to a repeated offender often seen driving under the influence. This poses a serious threat to passenger safety.

Several such vehicles have also illegally added extra seats in the boot space, ferrying around 10 passengers, making it look as if people are being transported like cattle.

Requesting @bandiporaarto to take immediate and strict action against such offenders and ensure regular inspections on this route.

A humble request to @dcbandipora @indukanwal ma’am to look into the matter personally, so that such reckless and dangerous behaviour is stopped before it leads to a tragedy.

Breaking Here

Agha Mehmood has been finalised as the National Conference (NC) candidate from Budgam. According to party sources, a meeting held yesterday at 5 PM witnessed differences over the candidature. Omar Abdullah had proposed former Apni Party leader Muntazir Mohiuddin, but Dr Farooq Abdullah is learnt to have insisted on fielding a Shia candidate from the constituency. Following this disagreement, Omar Abdullah reportedly walked out of the meeting. Muntazir Mohiuddin, who had earlier extended support to Omar Abdullah in the 2024 Assembly elections, is now expected to file his nomination as an Independent candidate.

Thank You, Allah SWT for 27 years of this incredible journey. For every moment I doubted, every time sadness weighed heavy on me, You had a different plan, one I couldn't see but one that always led me forward.

For every dream I whispered quietly in my heart, You worked behind the scenes and turned many of them into reality. For every low that made me stumble, You built a strength in me I didn't know I had.

Make the road ahead gentle when life weighs heavy, lift me when challenges dim my spirit, and weave for me plans that surpass my own dreams. May every step forward be purposeful, every challenge a lesson, and every joy a reminder of your grace.

26 detained after #NationalEmblem on plaque vandalised at J&K's #Hazratbal shrine. The detentions were made after police reviewed CCTV footage from the scene, which clearly captured the individuals involved in the defacement of the emblem.

@indukanwal Thank you for your kind attention mam. I am presently in Srinagar on an assignment, but will be in Bandipora soon. I would be glad to have the opportunity to meet and have a detailed discussion with you at your convenience.

For decades, Bandipora town and its adjoining belts have been regarded as relatively secure in times of flood. The vast Wular Lake has served as a natural basin to the jehlum fury, absorbing its excesses. But that belief in safety can no longer rest unquestioned. The Central Water Commission’s latest monitoring report, released for June 2025, has identified 432 glacial lakes across the Indian Himalayas for “vigorous monitoring”, including 57 in Jammu and Kashmir. The report records a 30.83 per cent rise in glacial lake area since 2011, from 1,917 hectares to 2,508 hectares.

While the report does not single out Bandipora, the district’s geography places it in the line of potential risk. The Arin belt lies directly in the foothills of Harmukh, where numerous glacial lakes are located. Any further expansion in these upstream systems heightens the possibility of sudden floods, cascading down into settlements below. What was once considered a natural shield may instead become a channel of vulnerability.

The problem is compounded by the state of Bandipora’s own drainage systems. Nallahs that once carried floodwaters with wide, natural flows have been constricted, diverted or encroached upon. Even the smallest village streams have been narrowed, their capacity to absorb sudden discharge steadily eroded.

A request to @dcbandipora @indukanwal, to constitute a team of experts drawn from the Irrigation and Flood Control Department, Revenue authorities and environmental specialists. Their task should be to identify encroached Nallahs, restore them to their original courses, and prepare contingency measures that account for upstream glacial threats. Only such integrated planning can restore resilience in the face of shifting realities.

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday @nasirsogami . May this year bring you health, success, and fulfillment in all your endeavors.

Basic supply cut in Gundpora Putmohalla: no water since yesterday, no response from officials. One says “not my domain”, others not picking up calls. @dcbandipora @indukanwal mam, please ensure restoration.

On July 31, 2023, Chief Minister @OmarAbdullah said that he would never become Chief Minister of a Union Territory and would not contest assembly elections until Jammu and Kashmir regained its statehood. However, with time, the reality turned out to be quite different.

@jomalhotra @thetribunechd @animesh0712 There will be no statehood restoration mam...remember u read it here...
