Army Questions 3 Jawans Over Killing Of Soldier Aurangzeb In Kashmir

SRINAGAR: 

HIGHLIGHTS

1. Probe revealed 3 soldiers might've leaked info about Aurangzeb: sources
2. Aurangzeb was kidnapped and shot dead in Pulwama in June 2018
3. Nirmala Sitharaman and Armychief had visited his family after his death

The army is questioning three soldiers for their alleged role in the murder of a soldier - who was killed by terrorists - in Jammu and Kashmir in June last year. Sources said the men, all belonging to the 44 Rashtriya Rifles, are reportedly under detention after investigations revealed that they might have leaked the information about the movements of Aurangzeb.

Aurangzeb, a rifleman with 44 Rashtriya Rifles - was kidnapped and shot dead by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama when he was travelling in a private vehicle, on his way home in Poonch to celebrate Eid with his family. 

His bullet-riddled body was found in Pulwama by a team of police and Army. He was shot in the head and neck.

Aurangzeb was part of an officer's team which killed Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Sameer Tiger.

He was awarded Shaurya Chakra posthumously. After his death, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Army chief General Bipin Rawat had separately visited the family to express their condolences.

Aurangzeb's father Mohammad Hanief joined the BJP in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a public rally in Jammu and Kashmir's Samba on Sunday. Mr Hanief was a sepoy of the Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry.

The soldier's killing had led to an outpouring of grief in his village in Mendhar, 250 km from Sirnagar. About fifty men claimed that they left their lucrative jobs in Saudi Arabia to return permanently to Salani village, to join the police force and the army to avenge  the death of their friend and fellow villager.

Soldier Aurangzeb was shot dead in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama in June 2018.

Aurangzeb's murder was followed by the killing of two policemen and a CRPF jawan when they were home on leave.

Ginkgo tree: Jurassic tree in space age

To the untrained eye, the Ginkgo biloba tree in the industrial area here looks like any other green

cover.

More details: https://jkmpic.blogspot.com/2019/01/ginkgo-biloba-cultivationseeds-of.html

To experts, however, it is a relic. The earliest leaf fossil of a Ginkgo biloba has its roots in a once-thriving and dominant race of vegetation. The tree is often referred to as a precious link between the present and a little-known past.

The family tree of the Ginkgo biloba — there are only two specimens in this region — can be traced back to 270 million years, before the Jurassic age, when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The tree here is more than a century old and as botanists say, it is still “going strong”.

“This tree is the only living representative of the order Ginkgoales, a group of gymnosperms composed of the family Ginkgoaceae of the Triassic period, the era that preceded the Jurassic period. So we can safely say that the tree already existed when dinosaurs walked the planet,” reader of botany of Kalimpong College Ram B. Bhujel said.

“During the Triassic period, the tree was flourishing all over the globe but in the Jurassic age the Ginkgoales order and its family of Ginkgoaceae plants started declining to the extent that it almost became extinct,” he added. “There are very few Ginkgo biloba trees left in the world today and most of the live specimens are found in Japan and China. As far as I know, there are only two such trees in the region. One in Darjeeling and the one in the industrial area where a park is being built.”

The botanist said no one knew how the tree arrived in the region or who planted it. A good guess, however, he said, would be that the British might have planted it when they ruled the country.

“What is sad, however, is that the tree cannot reproduce naturally because the climatic conditions are not suitable for its regeneration,” said Bhujel.

But there is some good news. Nurseries here, trying to grow saplings from cuttings of the parent tree, have met with reasonable success and the prehistoric tree has also been grown on the college campus.

“This species of tree is considered a living fossil and is also highly valued as an ornamental plant. Collectors of plants are ready to pay large amounts of money to procure saplings,” said Bhujel. “Leaves of this species of tree is used by Chinese as a herbal medicine in treating respiratory problems.”

Speaking of the value of the Ginkgo biloba as an ornamental plant, Chandra Rumba, a nursery proprietor from Kalimpong, said: “We have succeeded in culturing saplings from cuttings of branches of the tree at the industrial area. We cannot exactly say what the age of the tree is but it is more than 100 years old and in very healthy condition. Sadly, the saplings grown in the nursery are not as healthy as the parent plant, and only 25 per cent of the plants survive.”(Telegraphindia.com)

Kashmir Forest Tree Seeds

Ginkgo tree Seeds

Ginkgo is easily raised from seeds, which retain their vitality for some months. Female plants may be obtained by grafting. It is easily transplanted, even when of a large size. 

Trees of over 40 feet high have been successfully moved. It thrives in deep, well-drained, rich soil. It is useful for planting in towns, as it is free from the attacks of insects and fungi; and the hard leathery leaves resist the smoke of cities. It may also be freely pruned. 

It is of course best propagated by seed; but layers and cuttings may be employed in certain
cases. 

Ginkgo biloba has been proven to improve short-term memory, alleviate allergies, relieve
depression, alertness and boost circulation.  Ginkgo, which dates back 270 million years, has long been grown for its leaf, which is dried and processed into powders, pills and teas.

Nettle tea benefits

Stinging nettle root/leaf is also used for joint ailments, as a diuretic, and as an astringent.  In manufacturing, stinging nettle extract is used as an ingredient in hair and skin products. Stinging nettle leaf has a long history of use. It was used primarily as a diuretic and laxative in ancient Greek times.

Nettle tea has long been touted as great for weight loss and good health. Nettle tea is efficient for the removal of unnecessary toxins from the body. It is also known to feed the cells of the body which results in decreases in cravings.

Stinging nettle root is also used for joint ailments, as a diuretic, and as an astringent. Stinging nettle above ground parts are used along with large amounts of fluids in so-called “irrigation therapy” for urinary tract infections (UTI), urinary tract inflammation, and kidney stones (nephrolithiasis).

In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties,
stinging nettle is a diuretic, and both of these characteristics make it a good candidate for prostate issues, including prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which share some of the same urinary tract symptoms.

Stinging Nettle, DHT, SHBG and Free Testosterone. ... Yet again though, the studies on humans do not show any increase in free testosterone levels so any effect stinging nettle has on SHBG is too small to see a benefit as far as testosterone goes.

Using stinging nettle is one of the oldest treatments for combating hair loss. Stinging nettle capsules and tea can be consumed to treat hair loss internally while a good scalp massage using nettle oil combats hair loss effectively.

In a scientific study of patients with acute arthritis, stewed stinging nettle leaves enhanced the anti-inflammatory effect of diclofenac, an NSAID. Although this effect can reduce pain, talk to your doctor before taking or using stinging nettle if you also take NSAIDs.

Low blood pressure: Stinging nettle above ground parts might lower blood pressure. In theory, stinging nettle might increase the risk of blood pressure dropping too low in people prone to low blood pressure. If you have low blood pressure, discuss stinging nettle with your healthcare provider before starting it.

https://jkmpic.blogspot.com/2019/01/ginseng-seed-palnts-kashmir.html

The IAS topper who recently resigned from his service is all set to float an independent party to “highlight the political deadlock in Jammu and Kashmir”. He also wishes to facilitate dialogue between people of various regions of the State – Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Pir Panchal, and Chenab Valley so that an environment of amity and brotherhood can be built.

Taking to a social networking site Facebook, the IAS topper wrote: “I had never imagined that my small act of defiance to highlight political deadlock in Jammu and Kashmir would evoke such a response across the world.

I had never thought that my dream of clean politics and corruption-free administration in J&K would take the shape of a public movement.

Respecting the public sentiment, I have decided to chart my independent political journey.

And now in this new phase of public service, my mission is to support the true cause of humanity, stand up for the poor, marginalized and dispossessed and speak up for injustices, wherever in this world, irrespective of caste, colour, region, and religion.

I imagine a politics where youth can lead the change and take charge of their future; I wish to partner with a new generation of young leaders who can stand up for human rights, environment, free speech and rule of law.

My idea is to seek help from the people of India, build alliances with the Indian civil society and intellectual class to humanize the narrative around Kashmir conflict so that lasting peace can be achieved in J&K State.

My mission is to truthfully represent aspirations, culture, fears, and dreams of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, across the world.

I wish to facilitate dialogue between people of various regions of the State – Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Pir Panchal, and Chenab Valley so that an environment of amity and brotherhood can be built.

I believe that development and dignity must go together, and we have to work together for giving a sense of security, better education, healthcare, livelihoods, electricity and other civic amenities to people of J&K State.

This is a people’s movement and it will be funded by the people. People are the only agencies who will help this succeed.

Believe in me, be patient with me in this long and difficult journey and donate for this cause.

Scientists sow ‘pure’ heeng seeds to help farmers reap benefits

Tuesday, 08 January 2019 | Archana Jyoti | New Delhi

For the first time, in high altitudes of Himachal Pradesh’s Lahaul & Spiti, Indian scientists have successfully sown high-quality seeds of Asafoetida locally known as heeng (botanical name: Ferula assa-foetida L.), imported from Iran, to help the cold deserts’ farmers to commercially grow the much-sought after high-valued spice.

Given that currently India imports about 1,145 tonnes of raw Heeng annually from Afghanistan (73 per cent), Iran (14 per cent) and Uzbekistan (13 per cent) incurring approximately $77 million per year, all eyes are now on the indigenous project undertaken by the scientists from the CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bio-resource Technology (IHBT), Palampur.

Though, some farmers have taken initiative to grow the heeng herb in their land privately, it is of inferior quality or adulterated which are not good for health, said Dr Sanjay Kumar, Director of the IHBT.

Whereas, he pointed out, the heeng seeds procured by our institute (IHBT) have been quarantined by the national authorised body, ICAR-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), declaring them to be healthy and free of pests.

“The seeds have been quarantined so that they are weed-free. We have sown them in a tract at our Centre for High Altitude Biology (CeHAB) at Ribling, Lahaul & Spiti as well as at our lab in Palampur. “While at the local lab, seeds have been already germinated, we are now waiting for the snow to melt at the CeHAB centre where seeds will germinate in natural cold conditions,” said Dr Sanjay Kumar.

In India, it can be cultivated in a wide range of sub-Himalayan region of northern India, viz. Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttarakhand, added Dr Ashok Kumar, Scientist, Agrotechnology of Medicinal, Aromatic and Commercially Important Plants Division, IHBT.

Once it is commercially cultivated, the spice has potential to not only provide jobs to unemployed youths, boost the income of the farmers but also offer alternate substitute to regular crops which are facing animal menace or extreme weather conditions.

“Once the heeng project kicks-off, we will also work on improving the technology for extracting resin efficiently as well as conduct experiment if it can be grown in the lower altitudes also,” said Dr Ashok Kumar.

Heeng or Asafoetida is a perennial herb that produces pungently flavoured oleo-gum resin in its fleshy roots which has medicinal properties related to digestive system, cleansing and strengthening the gastro-intestinal tract, Dr Ashok Kumar said.

The international value crop has high demand in the pharmaceutical sector. This plant takes five years for maturing shrubs and producing gum. An average of 30 gm fresh gum can be extracted from a single shrub.

Kiwi fruits in Kashmir market

Kiwi plants are usually propagated asexually by grafting fruiting varieties onto rootstock or by rooting kiwi cuttings. They may also be propagated by seed, but the resulting plants are not guaranteed to be true to the parent plants.Propagating kiwi cuttings is a fairly simple process for the home gardener.

How long does it take for a kiwi tree to bear fruit?
Growing kiwi from seed is not complicated but it will take between 3 to 5 yearsbefore you can take a bite into your home-grown kiwi fruit. Don't despair though, there's plenty to enjoy until your first fruit harvest.

How do kiwi plants reproduce?
To get seeds in a kiwifruit, a female flower must be pollinated – the more pollen it gets, the more seeds it produces. Kiwifruit flowers are pollinated by insects, but the flowers are a bit unusual. The male and female reproductive parts are in separate flowers, which grow on separate plants.

What climate does kiwi fruit grow in?
It may surprise you to know that kiwis will thrive in just about any climate that experiences at least a month of below 45 degree F temperatures in winter. The vines need a period of cold to set fruit. The kiwis available at the grocery store, Actinidia deliciosa, are native to China.

Do Kiwi grow trees?
Growing Hardy Kiwi Vine In The Garden. Kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa) is an attractive, sweet fruit that is produced mostly in California and New Zealand. However, if you live in an area that has mild winters and a frost-free season long enough for the fruit to ripen, you can grow hardy kiwi plants in your garden.

Do male kiwi plants produce fruit?
Additionally, the female flowers do not produce pollen. ... Because the male kiwivines do not bear fruit, they put all of their energy into vine growth and are, thus, often more vigorous and larger than their female counterparts.

Are Kiwi self pollinating?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, that is a benefit of growing the self-pollinating Issai: It can also serve as a pollinator for female kiwiberry vines. Arctic Kiwi (Actinidia kolomikta) will not cross pollinate with the hardy Kiwi (Actinidia arguta). If your male Kiwi has white and pink markings on the leaves it is an Arctic Kiwi.

How do you take care of a kiwi plant?
Make sure you mulch around your small plants. Make sure once you plant your hardy kiwi vine transplants, you water them daily until they take hold. After that, you can slack off a little, as they prefer well-drained soil once they are settled.

Do Kiwis have wings?
The vestigial wings are so small that they are invisible under the bristly, hair-like, two-branched feathers. While most adult birds have bones with hollow insides to minimise weight and make flight practicable, kiwi have marrow, like mammals and the young of other birds.

Can Kiwis grow tropical climate?
It may surprise you to know that kiwis will thrive in just about any climate that experiences at least a month of below 45 degree F temperatures in winter. The vines need a period of cold to set fruit. The kiwis available at the grocery store, Actinidia deliciosa, are native to China.

Can we grow kiwi fruit in India?
Kiwi or Chinese gooseberry (Actinidia deliciosa) is grown widely in New Zealand, Italy, USA, China, Japan, Australia, France,Pakistan,Iran, Kashmir, Chile and Spain.Kiwi is mostly grown in the mid hills of Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, J & K, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Punjab, Silguri,Tamil Nadu,Kerala, Arunachal Pradesh,Karnataka,Uttarakhand and Kerala.
