<p>Disappointment and visible resentment swept through sections of the National Conference on Tuesday after Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expanded his council of ministers, with several senior legislators left out of the much-awaited induction. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha administered the oath of office and secrecy to four new ministers at Lok Bhawan, even as party workers staged protests at the National Conference headquarters and senior leaders voiced their hurt.</p><p>The four legislators inducted into the council of ministers are veteran NC leader and seven-time MLA Ali Mohammad Sagar (Khaniyar), Altaf Ahmad Kaloo (Pahalgam), Mir Saifullah (Trehgam) and Shamima Firdous (Habba Kadal). The expansion brings the council to its maximum permissible strength under Union Territory rules. The process dropped sports and technical education minister Satish Sharma.</p><p>South Kashmir’s senior-most NC leader and Anantnag West MLA Abdul Majid Bhat Larmi was seen with tearful eyes after not being inducted. He said he had been on the list of probable ministers until Monday evening and had not expected a junior to be given preference.</p><p><strong>After the swearing-in ceremony, speaking to reporters, Abdul Majid Larmi said:</strong></p><p>"I was deserving; from Pampore to the whole south of Kashmir, I am the senior-most, and I have always stood for the party. I will present my views to the party high command, but I will not separate myself from the party; I am a soldier of the party. Still, it is painful—after all, I am the most senior. I respect the party leadership’s decision; some who are inducted deserved it."</p><p>The cabinet expansion disappointed not only Larmi but several other legislators, including Mubarak Gul, associated with the party for the last 50 years, and Nazir Gurezi, who is also reportedly not satisfied with the decision.</p><p>Mubarak Gul, the veteran leader, said: “I was dropped, and then I am dropped now. I have attended 30 oath-taking ceremonies till now. Every time I was dropped, and today as well, I am being dropped.”</p><p>Although Mubarak Gul was made party general secretary, his workers staged protests at the party headquarters, showing resentment over his exclusion from the cabinet. They raised slogans of “Party se istifa do, General Secretary naa manzoor.”</p><p>Ali Mohammad Sagar, despite not being well, was inducted in recognition of his vast experience in Jammu and Kashmir politics and his grip within the party. His son, Salman Sagar, the youth face of the National Conference and MLA from Hazratbal, thanked the party high command for the induction, saying it was his father’s experience that had been considered.</p><p>Speaking to reporters, Salman Sagar said: “Being a son, I am very happy and party has considered his experience and given him (Ali Mohd Sagar) one more chance to serve the people.” He added that there is resentment, but the party had its own compulsion. “The people you named are party pillars and they will be consoled and there is no question of any differences in party.” On questions about Satish Sharma being dropped and allegations of discrimination against Jammu, he said: “Satish is dropped may he will be taken again and we have to see how he was taken and there is no difference in party it’s all our opposition is creating fuss.”</p><p><strong>Sakina Itoo backed Salman. She said:</strong></p><p>“What party had decided all is accepting that. Where are the workers protesting at party headquarters, party has given them this right. All can’t be ministers there are many other places where people can serve there are no difference in party.”</p><p><strong>The newly inducted ministers expressed happiness over the opportunity. Shamima Firdous said:</strong></p><p>“I will continue to take forward the mission of party founder Sher-Kashmir Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah.” Talking about those who are disappointed, she said: “They are main people they may have some complaints; they will come and talk to party leadership.”</p><p>Sakina Itoo already in the council of ministers too backed the party’s decision said all can’t be ministers there are many places in the party where people can serve.</p><p>Sakina Itoo ( Minister ) what party had decided all is accepting that where are the workers protesting at party headquarters party has given them this right. All can’t be ministers there are many other places where people can serve there are no difference in party”</p><p>The ruling alliance partner, the Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee, reiterated that it would not join the Omar Abdullah-led government. The party has maintained this stand for the past two years, choosing to stay out over the delay in restoring statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.</p><p>Leader of the Opposition Sunil Sharma congratulated the new ministers but expressed sympathy for those left out or dropped.</p><p>Sharam said: “I congratulate the newly appointed ministers. They should work hard for the people of Jammu and Kashmir and come out of the political tussle the government is currently caught in to serve the common masses.” He added: “I will wipe their tears, but it is Omar Sahab’s responsibility to wipe those tears. We will stand with them.”</p><p>The ceremony at Lok Bhawan was attended by senior political leaders and officials. While the National Conference leadership has sought to project unity and described the excluded leaders as party pillars who would be consoled, senior MLAs' open expressions of pain and workers' protests have underlined the undercurrents of resentment following the first major cabinet expansion of the Omar Abdullah government.</p>

<div><span>Bandipora Police have arrested six people, including four women, for their alleged links to the banned organisation Ittihad-ul-Muslimeen. Investigators suspect the group was involved in separatist propaganda, covert meetings, prison-linked coordination and financial transactions allegedly connected to Pakistan-based handlers.</span></div><div><span>A case has been registered as FIR No. 168/2026 under Sections 10 and 13 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) at Bandipora police station.</span></div><div><span>According to police, the arrests followed an investigation into an alleged underground network operating in north Kashmir. Officials suspect the module was attempting to spread separatist ideology and recruit women through personal connections and prison contacts.</span></div><h3><span>Investigation traces alleged network</span></h3><div><span>Police said the investigation initially focused on Waheed Ahmad Bhat, a resident of Bhat Mohallah Kachloo Qazipora in Handwara, Kupwara district. Bhat had previously been arrested in a separate UAPA case in Kupwara.</span></div><div><span>His subsequent questioning allegedly led investigators to Mubeena Bano of Dachigam in Bandipora and other associates. Police suspect the network was operating under the directions of a Pakistan-based handler and facilitating covert meetings, propaganda activities and financial transactions.</span></div><h3><span>Six people arrested</span></h3><div><span>The six accused named by the police are:</span></div><ul><li data-list-item-id="e1b561b68ca05e840c7831edbf0881d19"><strong>Mubeena Bano</strong><span>, daughter of Gh Ahmad Dar, a resident of Dachigam, Bandipora.</span></li><li data-list-item-id="ee2ddb5cfdff18774286e8b8824e335c2"><strong>Waheed Ahmad Bhat</strong><span>, son of Mohd Maqbool Bhat, a resident of Bhat Mohallah Kachloo Qazipora, Handwara, Kupwara.</span></li><li data-list-item-id="e7624de1c7424e65a7b9b84a36e0542ea"><strong>Kushboo Jan</strong><span>, daughter of Ab Rashid Sheikh, a resident of Check Panzigam, Bandipora.</span></li><li data-list-item-id="ef0c39c18e49263d92ffc347d0c3430e2"><strong>Mehak Jan</strong><span>, daughter of Mohd Sultan Sheikh, a resident of Check Panzigam, Bandipora.</span></li><li data-list-item-id="edd4a9109eb7222fa299eeaf5e1174aa7"><strong>Aliya Jan</strong><span>, daughter of Ab Rashid Sheikh, a resident of Check Panzigam, Bandipora.</span></li><li data-list-item-id="e1e603a35dc85e3a1cf4f0a5b60ba1bec"><strong>Irfan Ahmed Reshi alias Rayees</strong><span>, son of Gh Nabi Reshi, a resident of Ananwan, Handwara.</span></li></ul><h3><span>Police suspect women-centric propaganda network</span></h3><div><span>Police sources said the alleged module focused on drawing women into separatist propaganda activities, using personal networks and prison contacts to maintain communication and sustain its operations.</span></div><div><span>Investigators are examining the alleged involvement of several women from the same locality in Bandipora, suspecting that the network sought to use a low-profile, women-centric structure to disseminate separatist messaging and provide possible logistical support.</span></div><div><span>The probe has also pointed to suspected funding links with Pakistan and coordination with individuals inside prisons, officials said. Investigators are working to establish the extent of these links, trace the flow of funds and identify any additional people involved.</span></div><h3><span>Probe underway</span></h3><div><span>The arrests come amid an intensified crackdown by security forces on alleged overground and underground networks suspected of attempting to revive separatist activities in the region.</span></div><div><span>Police said intelligence-led operations and continued monitoring were aimed at preventing banned organisations from regrouping and recruiting people to spread their ideology.</span></div><div><span>The investigation remains ongoing, with police examining the alleged network’s funding, communication channels and links to individuals operating from within and outside the region.</span></div><div> </div>

Bandipora police arrest six, including four women, over links to banned outfit

<p><span>Srinagar's Nehru Memorial Botanical Garden, nestled at the foothills of the Zabarwan range near Dal Lake, has turned into a vibrant display of autumn colours with the blooming of thousands of chrysanthemums.</span></p><p><span>On Friday, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah formally inaugurated Bagh-e-Gul-e-Dawood, Kashmir's Chrysanthemum Garden, for its second season. The initiative aims to establish a major autumn floral attraction in the Valley, complementing the popularity of its renowned spring tulip garden.</span></p><p><span>The garden has expanded significantly this year, with nearly 3.5 lakh chrysanthemum plants spread across around 120 kanals, equivalent to approximately five hectares. The plants have been propagated and multiplied locally by the Department of Floriculture, Gardens and Parks.</span></p><p><span>Officials expect the garden to produce more than 1.2 crore flowers in shades of yellow, crimson, pink, purple, white and other pastel colours. More than 70 varieties of chrysanthemums now adorn the expanded flower beds, nearly doubling last year's collection. The blooms stand out against the golden and russet foliage of the surrounding chinar, maple and ginkgo trees.</span></p><h3><span><strong>Kashmir Aims To Match Tulip Garden's Popularity</strong></span></h3><p><span>Director of Floriculture Mathoora Masoom has described the Chrysanthemum Garden as a dream project for the department, with the aim of making it as popular as Kashmir's famous Tulip Garden.</span></p><p><span>“We want the importance and popularity of our Chrysanthemum Garden to be exactly the same as our Tulip Garden,” she said. “We don't want any season of our Kashmir to be dull. Spring is with tulips; autumn will be with chrysanthemums.”</span></p><p><span>Unlike tulips, which require imported bulbs, the chrysanthemums are grown using locally propagated plant material, a feature highlighted by the Chief Minister.</span></p><p><span>The flowers are also more resilient and can withstand light snowfall. They are expected to remain in bloom for at least six weeks, potentially until December 5 or 6, giving visitors a longer period to enjoy the garden compared with the relatively short spring tulip season.</span></p><h3><span><strong>Upgraded Garden Offers More For Visitors</strong></span></h3><p><span>The garden has undergone several improvements to enhance the visitor experience. Larger flower beds lead into a decorative plaza, while water features and wooden pergolas provide places to relax. Designated selfie points allow visitors to capture photographs amid the colourful blooms.</span></p><p><span>Improved pathways and visitor amenities have also been added, making the garden more accessible and creating a setting for visitors to experience Kashmir's autumn landscape.</span></p><h3><span><strong>Omar Abdullah Invites Tourists To Visit</strong></span></h3><p><span>After inaugurating the garden, Omar Abdullah invited tourists from across the country, along with residents of Srinagar and neighbouring areas, to visit the attraction and enjoy its flowers.</span></p><p><span>“Today marks the second inauguration of Bagh-e-Gole Dawood (Chrysanthemum Garden), initially started last year, with the objective of having both the beginning and end of the tourism season in Srinagar feature a unique garden unlike any other found elsewhere,” Omar said.</span></p><p><span>He explained that the Department of Floriculture had developed the garden to boost tourism and offer visitors a distinctive attraction outside the tulip season, when options for floral tourism were more limited.</span></p><p><span>Highlighting the difference between the two gardens, he said Bagh-e-Gole Dawood uses plant material that is propagated and multiplied locally, unlike the Tulip Garden, which requires bulbs to be imported from abroad.</span></p><p><span>Expressing pride in the garden's progress since its launch last year, the Chief Minister encouraged tourists and local residents to visit, take photographs and enjoy the floral display.</span></p><p><span>With its colourful chrysanthemums and autumn foliage, Bagh-e-Gul-e-Dawood offers Kashmir a dedicated seasonal attraction beyond its celebrated spring tulips and the fiery hues of falling chinar leaves. The garden aims to fill the gap between the Valley's major tourist seasons and strengthen its appeal as a year-round destination.</span></p><p><span>Despite weather-related challenges during preparations, the efforts of the gardening teams have brought the expanded garden to life, with its golden and jewel-toned blooms ready to welcome visitors.</span></p>

<p><span>In a sustained effort to support local communities alongside its security responsibilities, the Indian Army has organised specialised community assistance initiatives in Kashmir, providing free artificial limb fitment and rehabilitation support to disabled civilians. These outreach programmes have brought prosthetic care to remote and underserved areas, helping amputees and people with limb disabilities regain mobility, independence and a renewed sense of purpose.</span></p><p><span>The Indian Army, a key counter-insurgency formation operating in parts of Kashmir, has long combined its operational duties with initiatives aimed at building trust and improving the quality of life of local residents. Among these efforts, artificial limb fitment camps have had a direct impact on beneficiaries by providing comprehensive services at no cost, in collaboration with specialised medical teams, prosthetists and supporting agencies.</span></p><p><span>During the camps, medical personnel screen beneficiaries and assess their residual limbs, overall health, and functional needs. Eligible individuals, including those who have lost limbs in accidents or due to medical conditions such as diabetes-related complications, undergo detailed measurements and casting.</span></p><p><span>Custom-fitted prosthetic limbs, including below-knee, above-knee and, in some cases, upper-limb devices, are then fabricated or adjusted on-site or through partner facilities. The limbs are fitted during the camp or in follow-up sessions.</span></p><p><span>Beyond the fitting process, the programmes provide training on the proper use and maintenance of prosthetic limbs, basic physiotherapy guidance to strengthen residual limbs and improve walking, and counselling to help beneficiaries adjust psychologically and socially.</span></p><p><span>Follow-up arrangements are also made to address the need for adjustments, repairs or replacements as residual limbs change over time or as children grow.</span></p><p><span>These free outreach initiatives have been particularly valuable in areas where access to specialised orthopaedic and prosthetic services is limited by geographical barriers, costs or inadequate infrastructure. By bringing these services closer to residents, the Army has helped families avoid long and expensive journeys to distant hospitals and private clinics.</span></p><p><span>Beneficiaries include farmers, labourers, students, homemakers and elderly residents who previously faced significant difficulties with mobility, employment, education and everyday activities.</span></p><p><span>Army personnel involved in the camps assist with logistics, crowd management, the transportation of equipment and beneficiaries, and post-camp follow-up. Specialised prosthetic technicians handle the clinical and technical aspects of the process.</span></p><p><span>Watching beneficiaries take their first unaided steps after years of relying on crutches, family support or remaining confined to their homes has highlighted the impact of these initiatives and the Army's role in community development.</span></p><p><span>The artificial limb fitment programmes are part of the Army's wider civic action efforts, which include medical camps, educational support, youth engagement and infrastructure assistance. Officials associated with the formation have emphasised that such initiatives help strengthen ties between security forces and local communities, contributing to a more stable and progressive environment.</span></p><p><span>Beneficiaries and their families have expressed gratitude for the assistance, describing the prosthetic limbs as more than medical devices. For many, they represent restored dignity, greater self-reliance and the opportunity to contribute more actively to household and community life.</span></p><p><span>Through these specialised community assistance initiatives, the Indian Army continues to demonstrate that its role in the region extends beyond operational duties to include support for the well-being and rehabilitation of local residents.</span></p>

<div><span>The Jammu and Kashmir Police, along with central security agencies, have launched a massive, multi-pronged crackdown across the Union Territory.</span></div><div><span>From the upper reaches of frontier forests to the commercial hubs of Srinagar and the hinterlands of all ten districts, security forces have intensified operations targeting active terrorists, their over-ground workers (OGWs), financial conduits and sympathisers.</span></div><div><span>The sweeping offensive follows a declaration by Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat during the observances of Police Martyrs’ Day. Prabhat asserted that the state would rest only when every element associated with extremism was brought to justice.</span></div><div><span>“Our goal is clear: to identify every element associated with terrorism and extremism in Jammu and Kashmir and root it out entirely,” Nalin Prabhat said.</span></div><div><span>“Today, we must resolve that we will only rest after freeing this land from separatist and terrorist elements. I also want to warn those elements within Jammu and Kashmir who support terrorism that your days are now numbered, and even if you try to hide in the netherworld, we will hunt you down and ensure you are punished under the law,” the DGP declared.</span></div><h3><span>Security intensified across the valley</span></h3><div><span>In line with the DGP’s directives, security agencies have intensified operations across the Kashmir Valley and sensitive border districts.</span></div><div><span>Dozens of mobile checkpoints have been activated across Srinagar and the other nine districts of the Valley. Vehicles, commercial carriers and suspicious pedestrians are being subjected to identification checks and digital frisking. Movement along inter-district roads and vulnerable two-wheeler traffic is being monitored around the clock using high-definition optical and thermal surveillance.</span></div><div><span>Access roads leading towards critical forest tracks and mountain ranges have been locked down. Thorough combing and Search and Destroy Operations (CASOs) are underway to deny safe havens to infiltrating groups and remaining terrorists attempting to blend in with civilians.</span></div><h3><span>Recent counter-terror operations</span></h3><div><span>The Valley-wide sweep builds on a series of recent counter-terrorism operations by security forces along the Line of Control (LoC) and in rugged upper terrain. Security forces have intercepted multiple infiltration attempts launched from Pakistan-based launchpads across the Pir Panjal and northern sectors.</span></div><div><span>Coordinated intelligence operations by the Special Operations Group (SOG) and the Army have also neutralised active terror cells during forest cordons. Security forces have recovered substantial caches of arms, ammunition and explosive devices allegedly intended to target infrastructure and public harmony.</span></div><h3><span>Action against terror financing</span></h3><div><span>Beyond operations against armed terrorists, the police have accelerated the attachment of properties, vehicles and commercial establishments linked to terror financing and narcotics trafficking under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).</span></div><div><span>The action aims to dismantle the financial backbone supporting anti-national elements.</span></div><div><span>With elite tactical units deployed, intelligence networks operating in real time and a zero-tolerance policy enforced by the top command, the security establishment has sent a clear message across the Valley: “The net is closing, and there is nowhere left to hide, so you can run but you can’t hide.”</span></div><div> </div>

In line with the DGP’s directives, security agencies have intensified operations across the Kashmir Valley and sensitive border districts.
