Yogesh
Jammu, Apr 26 (KNO): The first time voters of Jammu parliamentary segment, which has registered over 71 per cent turnout on Friday, saw brimming with excitement and optimism for a better future.
From city to rural belts, the first time voters are among the most excited lot, who have been in the queues outside the polling stations since morning to cast their ballots.
Accompanied by elders of the family or friends, the first voters curiously inquired about the formalities from the officials and then followed the process of voting.

Interacting with the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Shruti Arora, who exercised her franchise for the first time at Gandhi Nagar, said that she has voted today to elect the representative, who can work on real issues like high inflation, unemployment, infrastructure development and environmental conservation instead of distracting voters with emotional slogans.
Among the first-time voters is Marcus, who said, “I am very excited from the day BLO delivered my voting slip at home. I am among the first few voters, who arrived even before 7.00 am to cast my vote.”
“My first vote is for a representative, who stands by the youth. We suffered a lot due to paper leak scams and growing unemployment. We missed our representative on such occasions but this time, we hoped that the representative we choose, stand by us and raise such issues at appropriate platforms.”
Mana Khokher, another first time voter said the vote is a chance to shape the future of youth. “The pressing issues are unemployment, lack of infrastructure, and the ever-present specter of violence. I hope my vote could contribute to the resolution of these issues,” she said.
Ridhima Jain from Kacchi Chowani, said, “I would be experiencing something new, but I also had a responsibility to choose the best candidate. Everyone in the society should cast vote as it’s the time to express.”
Karan, a young voter from Samba said, “During election season, leaders entice voters with false promises, but they seldom pay attention to voter complaints after the election. I want to support the candidate, who is approachable and sympathetic to our situation”.
Tania Raina, a passionate advocate for environmental conservation, preparing to vote for the first time says she has seen firsthand the devastating effects of climate change on the region and was determined to elect leaders, who would prioritize sustainability and conservation efforts—(KNO)

Rehan Qayoom Mir
Srinagar, Apr 26 (KNO): Finally, prayers of Kashmiri people got answered on Friday after the body of 11-year-old boy Haziq Ahmed Sheikh of Gandbal, Srinagar was retrieved from river Jehlum after a gap of 11-days on Friday.
With the recovery of Haziq’s body, the death toll in the Gandbal boat capsize has reached to seven while as the father-son duo continue to remain missing.
Locals of Gandbal area of Srinagar told news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the body of Haziq was seen at Zero-bridge and was retrieved as well without any delay. Later, the body was identified as Haziq Ahmed Sheikh, 11, of Gandbal, who had drowned along with six others in river Jehlum and was missing since April 16. Since then, religious scholars of different school of thoughts visited Gandbal to share the pain and grief of bereaved families. They also prayed for the recovery of untraced bodies. Emotional duas were made by the religious preachers for the recovery of those untraced. Locals at Gandbal said they are hopeful that the bodies of father-son duo will also float and they would have their last glimpse as well.

*Power wretchedness: ‘Is KPDCL making concocted promises or is unable to cater expected services to consumers’*
*We are getting a total power of 1200 MWs against a requirement of 1600 MWs. The matter will be settled in weeks’ time: CE KPDCL*
Riyaz Bhat
Srinagar, Apr 26 (KNO): The Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) is either ‘making concocted promises or are unable to cater the expected services to the consumers of the region’.
The news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) received many calls from the electricity consumers of many areas of valley—complaining of frequent power outages, long durational curtailments and distress cuts.
One of the consumers from south Kashmir’s Pulwama district Rashid Jehangir said, “KPDCL has not met its promises to supply round the clock power to its smart metered areas. We pay monthly tariff ranging from 3000-4000, yet we get electricity for few hours.”
Authorities in the previous fiscal undertook power reforms in Kashmir including installing smart meters and insulated power cables to prevent pilferages of electricity and reduce AT&C losses. “But the department has resorted to unscheduled power cuts with metered areas worst affected.”
Many consumers in central Kashmir’s Budgam district and Srinagar areas narrated the same ordeal.
One of the electricity consumers in Karan Nagar Farooq Ahmad said, “On Thursday evening, electricity was snapped after two hours of scheduled curtailment at 10 Pm and was restored at around 3Am—reflecting the fake promises made by the Power Development Department.”
“I think KPDCL is making concocted promises to its consumers or they are not able to cater the expected services to its consumers in Kashmir which could be the possible reason for the long durational power and distress cuts,” Ahmad said.
When contacted KPDCL Chief Engineer (Distribution), Sandeep Seth told KNO that the low power availability was the only reason for long durational power curtailments.
“We are getting nearly a total power of 1200 Megawatts (MWs) against the requirement of 1600 MWs. This will be settled in a weeks’ time,” he said.
Seth said that in metered areas KPDCL have curtailed power by only two hours while the non-metered areas are currently facing curtailment of over 10 hours.
On asking about the promise of ‘24 hours power supply’ made by the KPDCL to the smart metered areas, the Chief Engineer said, “We stand with our promise but when it comes to crisis, every consumer needs to be very patient till the issue is resolved.”
“In the month of Ramadan we had enough power availability. During that month, we were distributing nearly 1900 MWs of power,” he said.
Pertinently, on April-22, KPDCL said, “Due to limited power availability, there has been an unavoidable increase in power curtailment. These restrictions will be eased once power availability improves. Please bear with us & ensure judicious use of power, especially during peak hours. Avoid exceeding sanctioned load/hooking.” (SIC)—(KNO)

*UP college students clear exam with 'Jai Shri Ram' on answer sheets, two professors suspended*
Jaunpur, Apr 27: Two professors of a state-run university here have been suspended after an RTI response revealed that four students allegedly cleared exams with 56 per cent after writing 'Jai Shri Ram' and names of Indian team cricketers as part of several answers.
Dr Vandana Singh, Vice-chancellor of Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal University, said the varsity's examination committee convened a meeting over the matter on Wednesday and found two teachers -- Dr Ashutosh Gupta and Dr Vinay Verma -- guilty of wrong evaluation.
A decision has been taken to take disciplinary action relieving them of their duties and it will be presented before the Executive Council for a final decision, the VC said.
An investigation into the allegation over the professors extorting money from the four first-year students is underway, she added.
The matter come to light when Divyanshu Singh, a former student of the university, sought information under the Right to Information Act after coming to know about some students of first and second semester of the D Pharma course were passed in a test despite writing wrong answers.
Singh said he had filed the RTI on August 3, 2023 and also demanded re-evaluation of the answer sheets of the particular students.
According to the RTI response, the students had written '“Jai Shri Ram' and names of several Indian cricketers such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Hardik Pandya in the middle of their answers, Singh said.
The students scored 42 marks out of 75, which is 56 per cent, he added.
With these facts emerging in the RTI response, the former student wrote a letter to Raj Bhavan, alleging that a professor had passed the students by taking money.
Singh had also sent the complaints along with affidavits to the Raj Bhavan, taking cognisance of which the LG's office had ordered investigation and action on December 21, 2023, he said.
On this, the university had set up an inquiry committee to probe the matter. A re-evaluation by two external examiners was conducted in which the four students scored zero.
The inquiry committee in its report to the varsity's vice-chancellor held the two teachers guilty, he said. A meeting was held on Wednesday and the two professors were suspended.–(PTI)
