Bukhari Discusses Political Situation, Public Concerns with LG

Srinagar, June 21: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Sunday called on Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha at the Lok Bhavan in Srinagar to discuss the prevailing political situation, besides raising important public issues and grievances. During the meeting, Bukhari raised a range of issues and problems that people are grappling with and urged the LG to ensure these issues are promptly addressed. They also deliberated on the prevailing political and security situation in Jammu and Kashmir According to a press release issued here, Apni Party President also apprised the LG of the official neglect towards several key developmental issues, affecting the people. He said that residents from various parts of Srinagar city have complained about the inadequate supply of drinking water, while farmers in several areas across the Valley are facing a shortage of irrigation water for their paddy fields. Mr Bukhari expressed concern that the departments and officials responsible for addressing these issues do not appear to be giving them the attention they deserve. As a result, people are being forced to suffer due to these persistent shortcomings, which continue to affect their daily lives and livelihoods. He also raised the issue of Kashmiri mutton traders who are allegedly being subjected to undue charges while transporting livestock to Jammu and Kashmir. He said that livestock-carrying vehicles entering Jammu and Kashmir through Punjab are being charged substantial fees from 15 to 20 thousand rupees at the Simbu and Madhopur checkpoints. He pointed out that these charges are unjustified and not applicable in the case of J&K mutton traders, as they do not procure livestock from Punjab. Instead, they buy their livestock from states such as Haryana, Rajasthan, and Delhi. Mr. Bukhari said that these unwarranted charges ultimately contribute to price inflation, placing an additional burden on ordinary consumers in Jammu and Kashmir. He requested the intervention of the LG to put an end to this practice. In response, the LG assured Mr. Bukhari that he would take up the matter with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and make efforts to ensure that the prevailing practice of fee collection is discontinued. Mr. Bukhari thanked the LG for the decision to reopen the historic Naranag Temple in central Kashmirs Ganderbal district for devotees and tourists. At the same time, he requested the LG to consider reopening other tourist destinations and attractions that were closed following the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam last year. Responding to the request, the LG said that the administration is regularly reviewing the security situation and assured Bukhari that all presently closed tourist destinations would be eventually reopened in a phased manner. Bukhari also raised concerns about the developmental deficit, particularly in Srinagar city. He stressed the urgent need for the repair and reconstruction of roads, lanes, and by-lanes across various city areas, saying that the poor condition of the infrastructure is causing inconvenience to residents and requires immediate attention from the administration. Apni Party President also apprised the LG of the allegations regarding backdoor appointments, and said that whenever such allegations surface, they create a sense of frustration and disappointment among the youth, who look towards transparent and merit-based recruitment processes. The LG reiterated his commitment to resolving public grievances and taking appropriate measures to ensure that the concerns highlighted by Bukhari receive the attention they deserve.

NEET UG paper leak: Court permits accused Yash Yadav to appear in NEET exam, to attend sister's wedding in custody

New Delhi [India], June 16 : The Rouse Avenue court on Tuesday allowed Yash Yadav to appear in the NEET UG exam in the judicial custody scheduled exam on June 21. He is also permitted to attend his sister's wedding on June 22 while in judicial custody. He has been arrested in the NEET UG Paper leak case and is in judicial custody. He sought 15 days' interim bail to appear in the NEET UG Exam and to attend his sister's wedding. Vacation Judge Vishal Gogne allowed the application, directing the jail authorities to take Yash Yadav for the NEET Examination in custody on June 21. Jail authorities are further directed to take him to the marriage venue at Farrukhnagar, Gurugram, on June 22. The court directed the Jail superintendent to allow Yash Yadav to download the admit card under the supervision of the jail authorities as the details of the exam centre will appear on the admit card on June 17. It is observed that while the applicant does face grave allegations of wrongful dissemination and trading of the confidential questions of the very examination in which he now seeks to appear, his rights as a student cannot be defeated by turning bail into punishment by denial of the opportunity to appear in the examination, vacation judge Vishal Gogne said. The court further said that when the eligibility, candidature and selection of any student in an examination are subject to appropriate orders from the competent authorities/exam conducting body. In this view, the court finds the applicant to be entitled to appear for the examination on 21.06.2026, the court said. While allowing Yash Yadav to attend his sister's marriage, the court said that similarly, it is only expected for the brother to be performing certain customary functions during the marriage ceremony of his sister. There is no particular reason for the court to prevent the Applicant from participating in his own family obligations. Yet, considering the initial stage of the investigation, the wide sweep of the material and evidence sought to be collected and the prospect of other suspects being still investigated, the court is not inclined to grant interim bail to facilitate such participation, Vacation Judge said in the order. The court said that since the counsel for the applicant has prayed in the alternative that the applicant may be permitted to take the examination in custody and attend the marriage ceremony, the court is inclined to take a favourable view of the said prayer. Such a modality would protect the rights of the applicant and also safeguard the interests of the investigation. The court directed the Superintendent of Central Jail to produce applicant Yash Yadav in judicial custody and with appropriate security at 12:00 am at the examination centre at Gurugram, Haryana, as reflected in his Admit Card, in order that he may take the said examination from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. The applicant shall thereafter be immediately committed back to judicial custody. Advocate Ambika Yadav, Kapil Yadav and Neha Yadav appeared for Yash Yadav and submitted that since the right to education is a fundamental right, the circumstance of the applicant being an accused in the present allegations cannot act to his detriment in pursuing the said examination process. Also, the presence of the brother is a customary requirement in the marriage ceremony of the sister. On the other hand, senior public prosecutor VK Pathak appeared for the CBI and opposed the application, saying that the applicant was one among a multitude of conspirators and active participants in the unlawful accessing and subsequent sale of the confidential examination questions for the NEET (UG) 2026 examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on May 3.

Connecting the Regions: Scaling Ro-Ro Rail Logistics to Revolutionise Road Safety and Commerce in Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh

Deploying the Ro-Ro model represents an essential step in building a safer, more connected, and economically resilient nation The transport landscape of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh is at a critical evolutionary juncture. As a highly reliant consumer region defined by mountainous terrain and vulnerable highway networks, the territory faces a dual crisis: an economic penalty paid through high logistics costs and a tragic human toll caused by frequent highway fatalities. While advancements like the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) and AI-driven mobility frameworks have greatly enhanced enforcement on National Highway 44 (NH-44), systemic risk remains embedded in the physical geography of the region. This paper presents a definitive case for introducing Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro) rail services via the newly integrated Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL). By conducting an in-depth engineering assessment of the route's civil infrastructurespecifically its large-scale horseshoe tunnelsthis article demonstrates how a piggyback logistics framework can dramatically reduce highway accidents, stabilise commodity prices, lower emissions, and redefine regional multi-modal transit in northern India. Introduction: The Mountainous Transport Matrix of J&K and Ladakh Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh occupy a unique structural position in the Indian economy. Functioning primarily as consumer regions, they rely heavily on inbound logistics from industrial manufacturing hubs in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and western India for everyday essentials, building materials, pharmaceuticals, and technology. Conversely, outbound freight is highly seasonal, dominated by fresh fruits (apples, cherries) and regional handicrafts. This massive volume of trade relies almost entirely on a single overland artery: National Highway 44 (NH-44). The geography of this route is notoriously unforgiving. Passing through the young, seismically active fold mountains of the Himalayas, the highway is constantly exposed to environmental disruptions: Landslides and Mudslides: Heavy rains frequently destabilise slopes, cutting off the Kashmir Valley for days. Shooting Stones: Chronic rockfall zones along the Ramban-Banihal stretch create highly unpredictable hazards. Extreme Weather: Severe winter snows and black ice choke transit capacity, causing long lines of stranded trucks. When these disruptions occur, supply chains stop. The immediate result is price volatility for essential goods in local markets, accompanied by the deterioration of perishable outbound agricultural shipments. For a consumer state, this structural vulnerability acts as a persistent economic tax, limiting growth and driving up the baseline cost of living. The Highway Imperative: Fatalities and the Safety Crisis on NH-44 Beyond its economic impact, the reliance on mountain highways extracts a devastating human toll. Historically, Jammu & Kashmir has ranked among the highest areas in India for accident severity and per-capita traffic fatalities, with mountain highway corridors accounting for the vast majority of these incidents. Several systemic factors drive this high crash rate: [Driver Fatigue from Prolonged Idling] [High-Risk Overtaking & Error] High Fatality Rates [Unforgiving Topography / Sharp Drop-offs] 1. Driver Exhaustion and Burnout: Due to frequent road closures, traffic bottlenecks, and security screenings, truck drivers often endure gruelling wait times. It is common for a driver to remain stuck in transit for 24 to 48 hours along the highway. Operating a heavy commercial vehicle under severe sleep deprivation on narrow, winding roads leads to high rates of driver error. 2. Brake Failures on Sustained Gradients: Navigating long, steep descents requires constant braking. In heavily loaded multi-axle trucks, this sustained friction leads to brake fadea condition where heat buildup temporarily destroys the vehicle's stopping power, turning trucks into runaway hazards on steep mountain drops. 3. High-Risk Overtaking: The slow pace of heavily loaded vehicles on mountain inclines tests the patience of other road users. This leads to risky overtaking manoeuvres on blind curves, resulting in severe head-on collisions or vehicles plunging down steep embankments. Modern Technology Interventions: ITMS and AI in Mobility To mitigate these risks, the region has aggressively deployed next-generation traffic technologies. The introduction of the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) across key urban corridors and highway checkpoints represents a major step forward in traffic management. By leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and predictive analytics, modern transit enforcement has shifted from passive observation to active, data-driven intervention. Key capabilities of the current ITMS framework include: Automated Speed Enforcement: ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras integrated with radar units automatically track average speeds across dangerous highway sections, reducing speeding. Load and Compliance Monitoring: AI-assisted cameras identify overloaded commercial vehicles before they enter vulnerable bridge sections or steep inclines. Real-Time Incident Detection: Automated vision systems flag sudden bottlenecks, lane obstructions, or minor rockfalls, allowing authorities to stop traffic upstream before secondary collisions happen. Yet, despite strict enforcement and advanced digital monitoring, technology alone cannot fix the fundamental vulnerabilities of mountain highways. AI can manage driver behaviour, but it cannot stop a landslide, eliminate structural brake fade, or erase driver fatigue from a 12-hour traffic jam. To achieve a lasting reduction in traffic accidents, the region must look beyond enforcement and fundamentally redesign how freight moves through the mountains. The Ro-Ro Model: A Paradigmatic Shift in Freight Logistics The Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro) service operated by Indian Railways offers an elegant, proven solution to these challenges. Often described as a piggyback logistics model, Ro-Ro combines the efficiency of rail with the door-to-door flexibility of road transport. In a standard Ro-Ro setup, loaded commercial rigid trucks, multi-axle trailers, and personal vehicles are driven directly up a specialised ramp onto heavy-duty, low-bed rail flat wagons. Once secured on the train, the entire vehicle fleet is moved over the rail network as a single unit. The Driver Experience Crucially, the drivers and assistants do not remain inside their truck cabs during the rail journey. Instead, they move to dedicated passenger cars or AC coaches attached to the same train. This layout completely changes the human dynamic of long-haul freight delivery: Mandatory Rest: While the train covers the difficult mountain terrain, drivers get uninterrupted rest in a comfortable environment. Logistical Continuity: Upon arriving at the rail terminal, well-rested drivers step back into their trucks and handle the final miles of delivery over local roads. This approach eliminates the trade-offs typical of traditional freight hauling, offering a hybrid model that maximises the strengths of both rail and road. Technical and Engineering Feasibility: Navigating the USBRL Network The primary question regarding any proposed Ro-Ro service in a mountainous region is structural: Do the clearance envelopes of the rail line allow loaded trucks to pass through safely? On older rail lines, low bridges and narrow tunnels often block high-clearance Ro-Ro loads. However, the newly constructed Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) was built to modern, highly generous design standards. An engineering analysis of the JammuSrinagar rail corridor reveals that its clearance profile is exceptionally well-suited for standard Ro-Ro operations. The line uses standard Indian broad-gauge (1,676 mm) tracks and features a modern horseshoe-shaped tunnel profile. Typically, tunnel heights along this critical route range from 7.39 meters to 7.5 meters, with structural widths spanning 8.4 meters to 8.5 meters. This profile easily accommodates standard electric and diesel locomotives alongside large freight configurations. Key Infrastructure Dimensions on the Route To understand how Ro-Ro can scale here, look at the dimensions of the two largest structural interventions along the line: A. Pir Panjal Railway Tunnel (T-80) Length:** 11.215 km, connecting Banihal directly to Qazigund. Height Profile:** 7.39 m Width Profile:** 8.40 m Significance:** By bypassing the treacherous, landslide-prone surface alignment of the Pir Panjal pass, this tunnel provides a protected underground corridor that cuts transit times from hours down to minutes. B. Tunnel T-49 Length:12.75 km, standing as India's longest transportation tunnel. Cross-Section: Modified horseshoe design. Clearance: Features a clear height exceeding 7 meters. Physical Clearance Verification From a practical loading perspective, a standard large commercial truck stands between 3.8 and 4.0 meters tall. When driven onto a standard low-bed rail flatcar, which has a platform deck sitting roughly 1.25 meters above the rail line, the total combined height of the asset reaches approximately 5.25 meters. When measured against the minimum overhead tunnel profile of 7.39 meters found on the USBRL network, the system retains a clear, unobstructed safety buffer of more than 2 meters. This substantial clearance margin ensures that heavy multi-axle freight can pass through the entire subterranean network smoothly without requiring structural changes to vehicle configurations or risking contact with overhead electrification systems. Socio-Economic and Commercial Impact for a Consumer State Implementing a regular Ro-Ro service between Jammu, Srinagar, and eventually extending inter-modal hubs toward Leh would transform the region's economy. Impact Dimension. Traditional Highway Transport (NH-44). Proposed Rail Ro-Ro Model. Transit Reliability, Subject to frequent closures from landslides, snow, and rockfalls. All-weather, climate-resilient underground operation. | Turnaround Time. 12 to 48 hours, depending on bottlenecks and weather. Predictable 4 to 5-hour scheduled runs. Vehicular Wear & Tear. High; severe strain on brakes, tyres, engines, and suspension. Zero; vehicles remain turned off for the mountain crossing. Fuel Consumption: Massive; high fuel burn during steep climbs and extended idling. |Drastically reduced; minimises diesel consumption. Driver Condition, High fatigue, sleep deprivation, and high accident risk. Rested, safe, and secure in attached passenger coaches. Stabilising Supply Chains and Commercial Goods For a consumer state, the business benefits of Ro-Ro extend across the entire supply chain: Guaranteed Product Quality: Perishable itemssuch as temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals inbound, or fresh cherries and apples outboundcan move through the mountain barrier without unpredictable delays. This helps eliminate the spoilage losses that currently plague local farmers. Lower Consumer Prices: By eliminating hidden expenses like extended idling fuel costs, emergency highway maintenance, and vehicle downtime, logistics companies can operate more efficiently. These savings translate directly to lower retail prices for consumers on everyday goods. Optimised Inventory Levels: Local businesses can transition from holding expensive safety stock to a nimbler, just-in-time delivery model, freeing up working capital across the regional economy. Protecting the Himalayan Ecosystem The environmental benefits of moving thousands of heavy trucks off mountain roads and onto electric rail lines are profound. The fragile ecology of the Kashmir Valley and Ladakh is highly susceptible to air pollution. Deposits of black carbon from diesel exhaust accelerate glacial retreat in the surrounding mountains. Transitioning heavy freight to electric rail lines significantly cuts regional greenhouse gas emissions, directly supporting long-term conservation efforts for this delicate ecosystem. Strategic Implementation Blueprint To successfully launch Ro-Ro services in Jammu & Kashmir, stakeholders should consider a phased, structured approach: Phase 1: Terminal Infrastructure Development Jammu Hub (Bari Brahmana/Udhampur): Build a dedicated Ro-Ro loading terminal equipped with specialised end-loading and side-loading ramps. This hub must feature large staging yards for trucks, driver rest facilities, and automated weight-verification gantries. Srinagar Hub (Qazigund/Nowgam): Establish a matching terminal in the valley to serve as the main reception and distribution point for inbound freight, and the collection point for outbound agricultural trade. Phase 2: Inter-Modal Logistics Expansion to Ladakh Leh Forward Links: While the rail line terminates in the valley, Srinagar and Drass/Kargil can be developed as dual-mode logistics hubs. Trucks arriving via Ro-Ro in Srinagar can immediately head up the Srinagar-Leh highway (NH-1). This cuts the overall driving distance across difficult terrain by half, making deliveries to Leh far more reliable. Phase 3: Public-Private Policy Framework Incentive Programs: Create an initial operational framework offering green logistics credits or reduced toll fees for fleet operators who adopt the Ro-Ro system. Scheduled Freight Pathways: Set up fixed, high-priority time slots for Ro-Ro trains, ensuring logistics companies can promise reliable, guaranteed delivery windows. Conclusion: A Vision for Next-Generation Mobility The case for introducing Roll-on/Roll-off services to Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh extends beyond traditional transportation policy; it is a vital initiative for regional safety and economic modernisation. While digital tools like ITMS and AI models have modernised highway enforcement, they work within the limits of an inherently dangerous road corridor. The structural engineering data confirms that the USBRL network's wide horseshoe tunnels are fully prepared to support this advanced transit model without clearance issues. By taking heavy trucks off the most volatile sections of the highway, this framework directly addresses the root causes of severe traffic accidents, saves lives, and ensures a stable supply of affordable goods. Moving forward, deploying the Ro-Ro model represents an essential step in building a safer, more connected, and economically resilient nation.
