Dishonoring Sikh youth in Kashmir widely condemned
PS BALI
Jammu
Jammu Province People’s Forum (JPPF) an amalgam of more than fifty social organizations today expressed immense grief over the Tral incident, where a religious faith of a Sikh youth was dishonored by some anti social elements.
Present on the spot many political and non political organizations condemned the act and staged a protest, demanding stern action against the culprits involved in tragic incident of Tral, in south Kashmir on July 28.
Chairman, Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP), Prof Bhim Singh, praised Sikh fraternity for showing patience and for handling the mater pacifically.
He said that the Sikh fraternity of the state has symbolized the state of unity and brotherhood by keeping their cool. He demanded stern action against the culprits.
Appealing majority for the support, PP chief said that they should condemn such incidents; as such incidents are an attempt of some miscreants to disturb centuries’ old brotherhood and communal harmony in the state.
The activists of Nirbhow Nirwair Organisation (NNO), also organized a massive protest demonstration at Karan Bagh Chowk near Air Port road and strongly condemned the immoral act of miscreants who not only thrashed and humiliated the Sikh boy but also chopped his hair, which is against humanity.
Carrying the placards and banners written with J&K government “Hai Hai” the protestors also raised anti government slogans and burn effigies of coalition government.
The protestors of NNO termed coalition government as sheer failure in securing minorities.
NNO, president, Harjeet Singh said that the Sikh community is insecure under the present government which is not competent to give protection to the minority community.
Warning Government about the severe repercussions NNO president said that if government fails to punish culprits, they would launch state wide protests which would be dangerous for state and nation.
Taking a strong note of Tral incident, the state unit Bhariyta Janta Party (BJP) accompanied by members of Sikh community staged a protest at Kachhi Chowni and demanded stern action against the elements which are violating atmosphere of communal harmony.
State leader Rajesh Gupta said that the Sikh’s are living in different parts of Kashmir and had never tried to hurt religious sentiments of any other community. He added that during mass massacre of 1984, the Sikh community maintained their cool and had never maligned anybodies religious sentiments.
People’s Union for Civil Liberties J&K State, Convener, Balraj Puri, also condemned the assault on a Sikh youth and the sacrilegious act of chopping hairs by some miscreants.
“This attack is not on an individual but it is attack on the composite heritage of Kashmir’, he said, adding he is anticipating all the political and non political parties from both Jammu and Kashmir to come forward and support their brethrens from minority.
Strongly condemning the incident of hair chopping of a Sikh youth, National Sikh Front demanded centre government to remove the present chief minister, Omar Abdullah government as they have failed to secure minorities in the state.
In a press note chairman of national Sikh front, Varinderjeet Singh, criticized J&K government and its administration for taking things casually.
He said that on one side JK government is welcoming Kashmiri Pandits back to Kashmir providing them government jobs but on the same time they are handicapped to secure existing minorities of the state.
Singh said that it is a shame that such things can easily take place in the valley and the government acts like handcuffed and doing nothing.
Government doesn’t have any control over the situation,
Panun Kashmir (PK) expressed deep anguish and shock over the reported barbaric act of chopping off hair and disrespecting turban of a Sikh youth of Tral Village of Kashmir by an unruly group from majority community.
PK convener, Dr. Agnishekhar condemned the ideology of religious fundamentalism and brazen communalism of the forces responsible for such inhuman act.
This is second such incident after July 12, when in Gaddapora Tral, one Sikh school boy Amandeep Singh was also beaten by a similar unruly group of youngsters belonging to the majority and his hair was also chopped off.
This approach of the mob once again reflects the deceitful mindset of Jihadi forces with regards to minorities in Kashmir Valley.
Reports coming from Kashmir Valley reveal that entire Sikh community, who stayed in strife torn Kashmir, has suffered untold miseries at the hands of such forces for the last two decades. The culprits responsible for the Chattisingpora carnage, Chhaanpora killings are yet to be apprehended and prosecuted.
The reports of protests also poured from Udhampur City, where the members of Sikh community after assembling at Slathia Chowk, burnt effigy of government and thereafter reached at District Development Office (DDC) in the shape of rally, raising slogans against the administration.
Former Rajya Sabha member and vice president of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sardar Trilok Singh Bajwa blamed National Conference led coalition regime for such incident.
Condemning the incident at Tral, Bajwa said that need of the hour is to maintain communal harmony and brotherhood in the State, which has been passing through a crucial time. “Government is not in a position to stop incident so it is responsibility of all sections of the society to come forward and to save the situation from further worsening”, he said.
On this occasion, SGPC Gurdwara Singh Sabha, president Amar Singh and Secretary, Gurudwara Kalgidhar, Gurmeet Singh Panchii submitted a memorandum to DDC, demanding stern action against the guilty party person and gave five days period to nab the anti-social elements

PS BALI
Due to the incessant rains in the upper region of Jammu the water level in the river Chenab has increased but there is no immediate threat of flood, official sources said today.
Sources said that water level in river Chenab has increased due to continuous rains for the past several days in the upper parts, but has not touched the mark of danger yet.
However, they said the water level is still several feet below the danger mark. State Flood Control department, which is continuously monitoring the flow of water, has announced no threat of flood till now.
“The current mark of water level on the metering Gauze is 28.1 ft which is far below the danger mark of 32- 35 fts, so there is no need of announcing flood intimidation,” said Flood Control official wishing anonymity.
He further said that they are keeping continue vigil of the water level, “We don’t want to create panic among locals of low lying areas by proclaiming precarious flood threat,” said he.
The flood control department is waiting for the appropriate time for the sounding of flood threats.
“The flood threat would be announced when the water level touches the mark of 32, and it would be sounded high alert when it reaches 35 fts. At present the fall in water level is expected as the level is already dropped from 30 to 28 fts,” said official.

Though, there was no immediate threat of flood, but the divisional administration has geared up its machinery to meet any challenge.
“Yet we haven’t received any information regarding alarming flood like situation in any part of Jammu but keeping monsoon in consideration, we are all ready with machinery and man power to fight the crisis and to lessen the causality,” said DC, Jammu, M K Dwevedi.
He said that the administration is continuing monitoring the situation of the water level. “we are ready with contingency, all the control rooms are active and rescue boats, choppers and other live saving tools are ready fro any such crisis,” said he.

Fiction:
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.
Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"You don’t owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."
He said ... "Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
As boy left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.
Many years’ later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled.
They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.
The same boy was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.
Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor ''s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once.
He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life.
From that day he gave special attention to her case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won.
Boy requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, and then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.
She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words, "Paid in full with one glass of milk"
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You God that your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands."
I don’t know is this a fiction or reality, but it clicks my mind and made me to write as it is said that good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place - And, after all, isn’t that what life is all about?

| We would love to train I-league teams’ |
 P S BaliThe two Kashmiris, Sajid and Hilal, now eligible to train I-League teams, had never thought of achieving the most reputed AFC B-License coaching. The duo was a key player of YMCA football club in 1998 when for the first time any private club clinched the title of State Championship. In a brief chat with Rising Kashmir the duo shared their experiences: What does it mean to be a B-license coach in Kashmir? SD: To be the first and the only B-licensed coach from the state definitely means a lot. Asian Football Confederation’s B-license courses standardize the level of coaching all over India and now we are eligible to train I-league teams. B-license has also provided us the chance to learn innovative trends of international coaching. HP: I feel we are the ambassadors. AFC’s B-license has promised us new horizons in the game. After completing C-license course, my vision about football was limited but now I came to know that coaching and football are wide fields, full of chapters to learn. Do you desire to join a particular team (s)? SD: I would prefer to coach the University of Kashmir. Our state is in need of qualified coaches and I want to serve here. I would love to work outside if I get a chance. HP: I want to work for my State and my priority will always be the J&K bank. I would definitely like to work outside. The credit of your success goes to… SD: Obviously the Almighty Allah. I am grateful to my father Muhammad Yousuf Dar who encouraged me at every step of my life. I also thank entire JKFA especially its former and presiding General Secretaries for this achievement. Young Mans Christian Association has also helped us to achieve this feat. I would also like to thank the Director Department of Physical Education and Sports Kashmir University, Prof Nisar Ahamd Rather, and former Chairman Sports Campus and HoD Physics Prof Farooq Ahmad and University Competent Authorities for extending their support. HP: All the credit goes to Almighty Allah. I also thank my well wishers and J&K bank for the valued support. YMCA put us on the track to bag this achievement besides the support of JKFA. What would be your message for the budding coaches of the state? SD: Unfortunately after completing NIS many people consider themselves as professionals which is neither a fact nor advisable. I suggest them to put to use their experience on the fields. This would help them prepare for licensed courses. HP: Be honest to the profession, utilize your experience on the fields and try innovative ideas for betterment of game. Felicitations: “This is an achievement for the entire state. Sajid and Hilal have emerged as professional and qualified coaches. On behalf of entire FPWA, I congratulate them for making us proud.” Zahoor Haroon (Secretary FPWA) “It is an achievement not only for football lovers but the entire sports fraternity of the state. I want JKFA to continue to recommended meritorious candidates for such coaching courses in future to build exemplary and innovative standard of football in J&K.” Showket Khanyari (Chairman Shaheen Sports Syndicate) “This is really good news for the football game in our state and would bring new definition to the game of football. I am very happy that J&K has talented and qualified coaches.” Mehraj-u-din Wadoo (International footballer). |

| Kashmir Bruce Lee turns craftsman |
 P S BaliSrinagar May 22: Martial Arts, the fighting arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat. The game is considered as both an art and a science through out the globe and people lend respect for the masters. But unfortunately the Martial Art champion in Valley, Ghulam Rasool Khan, has been ignored by all shoving him to work as a Paper Machie craftsman and as a physical teacher at some private school to earn basic livelihood. Despite having a good profile and wide experience in Martial arts, Rasool is unable to deliver it further. Ghulam Rasool has sacrificed more than 18 years of his life in this game but he is yet to be recognized, the piles of medals, trophies, certificates and souvenirs is all he had in his kitty right now. In a conversation with Rising Kashmir, Ghulam Rasool revealed his agony of being ignored. Over to him…. Government’s apathy At no step I found any help from authorities. I have received only verbal encouragement which was never implemented. Due to apathy of authorities, I have done work of Paper Machie for long time, now my talent is ruined at some private school, I am working there as a physical teacher to earn basic livelihood. The fate of the Khan is such that, his student are adjusted but he is yet to be recognized, “due to my less academic record, I am still striving from door to door to get identification even after having heap of rewards and appreciation tokens. The decision of Khan of settling down here in Kashmir is turning out as a curse as no body is interesting to exploit his talent. Boy turning into ‘Bruce Lee’ I started learning Martial Arts when I was only 12 by an Afghani trainer ‘Murtaza’. The movements and tricks to defend in this game attracted me towards this game. I usually use to watch Murtaza performing different tricks, which lured me to this game. I am associated with this game for over 18 years. I am the only person of valley to be associated with this game for so long. I have accumulated piles of certificates, appreciation rewards and other mementoes which I have won at various state and national level tournaments. Besides, I have been tagged as ‘Bruce Lee’ at every competition as my stunts would mesmerize audience. But, all seems to be of no use. Contribution to the game… My only aim is to promote martial art in valley, for which I am already working from past several years. In 1994, I initiated Lee’s club of Martial Art in a government school, with the aim of imparting techniques of self defense among Valleyities, but in 2002 I had to close it forcibly due to intervention of School principal of that time. Now I am eking out my living as a physical teacher in a private school. Breif Profile: Bagged gold in North India full Contract Karate Championship in 1998.

Money belongs to team: experts Approach JKCA: KU to players PS BALI Srinagar May 28: Despite winning the cricket tournament in September last year, the Kashmir University women cricket team is yet to receive prize of Rs 15000 as award money for the tournament. The winning team members alleged that in spite of repeated requests, the Directorate of Physical Education and Sports (DoPES) KU did not distribute the money among them. “A cheque of Rs 15,000 was handed over to our captain, who later passed it to the team coach,” said the team members, adding, “ When we later asked for the money, the coach directed us to collect the money from the Directorate.” KU women’s cricket team had defeated Women’s College M A Road in the final which was held in September last year in which many college teams had participated. “Since then, we have been asking for our money but of no avail,” said the players. Interestingly, the Director DoPES KU Nisar Ahmad is asking the students to approach JKCA for the transfer of cheque in their favor. “We received the cheque of Rs 15000 from JKCA but it favors to the department,” said Nisar. “The money is in the university chest. It was awarded for promotion of sports” However, the experts opine the cheque or the cash prize is ‘ultimately’ the right of team members. “The team members work hard for the title and only they deserve the money. The department retains the trophy only,” said Physical Director Islamia College of Science and Commerce, Altaf-ul-Rehman. |

The drive against polythene in the city was going on from past one year and the JMC claims to achieve 30 percent success in thwarting the usage of polythene bags.
JMC officials say that the regular visits of inspection teams are proving very productive for keeping control over use of polythene bags.

Talking to Himalayan Mail, Singh opined that "this drive is a continuous process and will take time for complete removal of polythene. We had achieved some success in curbing this nuisance but remaining is still to eradicate."
He said the population is getting aware about the threats of polythene bags, they are acting over it and we are hopeful that in coming years our state would be polythene free, as the public switch to eco-friendly bags.
To monitor the city market JMC Enforcement Field Staff led by Satish Khajuria, along with police recently inspected the shops and other outlets in the different areas of New Plots, Janipur, Paloura, Lower Roop Nagar, etc.
"During the inspection we seized about 20 Kgs of polythene carry bags from the shopkeepers, vendors and other outlets in these areas", revealed JMC official.

Suicides, a tale of mystery
PS BALI
On one side when the crime rate is plummeting swiftly in the
Although a change is also visible in the official statistics, but still 35-36 cases of suicide are registered every year.
With most of the cases related to unemployment and students, besides cases of dowry. The suicide is more active in rural areas with some inconsequential in urban.
Experts and psychologists alleged speedy competition, unemployment, wish imposition and changing life style as the reason for suicides.
“The much reason for the suicides among youngsters is the over expectations of parents, hard competition and lack of exposure. Beside all these factors the unemployment and changing life style are the vital aspects of the cause,” said Superintendent of GMC hospital
Condemning parents for the unusual cause of suicides, Psychologist Dr. Manu Arora said, “suicide is not an impetus attempt adopted by person, it is executed after timely preparation. The reason for suicide cases among students is that they get less time with parents. They feel isolated and as it is said that ‘idle mind is the house of dwell’,” said he.
From past five years the rate of suicides in
According to official data in 2006 the number of suicides were100, in which unemployed faction holds the highest ratio with over 61 cases. In which 78 were male and rest were females. In 2007 the ratio witnesses a slight decline and the suicide rate droops from 100 to 94, in which unemployed faction ratios over 45 cases with 66 males and 28 females.
In 2008, again a trivial descend was witnessed with over 90 suicide cases including 63 male and 27 females.
2009 observed a great collapse in the suicide cases, as the graph poured down to 49 cases including 35 males and 14 females with large portion including students.
According to SSP Jammu city, Basant Rath, males are easy recipients of the crime as they found them selves bounded in many obligations.
“The prime reason for suicides is domestic bickering and poor coordination between family members. It is mostly visible in unsettled marriages which are carried out without the consensus of couples,” he said.
He further said that the decrease in suicide cases is the result of proper awareness among masses.
For the complete pin down of the suicides in the
“To lessen the case of suicide, parents have to read the mind of the children and have to free them for wishful options in the studies. In short parents have to allow children for choosing engrossed option for career,” said Dr. Romesh Gupta.
Marking it as the obligation of parents for controlling rate of suicides Dr. Manu Arora said, “By lessening the education stress and giving proper time to children, we can stop this menace, as this is premature practice and it shows its signs much before, the only thing is that parents have to rectify those signs and need to talk to children,” said he.
Despite of huge fall in the number of suicides, still
Experts believe that proper counseling and awareness can make difference and may keep people away from such crimes.
