Amarnath land row - Chronology of events

India suspends cross-LoC trade with Pakistan, says routes were being misused to push drugs
To Pakistani observers it appeared that India was eager to provide a vent for the steam building up in Kashmir over the Amarnath land row earlier that year, when there was a blockade of the Valley by the Jammu-based BJP and other Hindutva groups. That in turn led to the demand for opening the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road. Separatists and others called a “Muzaffarabad March” on August 11. Firing on the march left 5 people dead. The worst incident took place at Chalan, near Uri, where a group on way to LoC was fired upon killing senior freedom leader Sheikh Abdul Aziz. After news of the death of Sheikh Aziz spread, angry protesters in Srinagar attacked the neighbouring police station at Karan Nagar and dismantled a CRPF-manned sand-bagged bunker. 

Last week, the government cited malpractice and the involvement of drug trafking  groups in the trade to suspend the LoC trade. There have been previous suspensions. Once in 2017, trade was suspended for 40 days after drugs were discovered in a truck from Muzaffarabad. The longest suspension came during the post-Burhan Wani killing agitation in the Valley, for three months. There were other brief spells when trade was suspended, mostly at Chakan da Bagh, on account of heavy cross-border shelling.

Cross-LOC Trade and narcotic drugs

Slamabad Cross-Loc Trade Union on Monday reached city centre Lal Chowk to protest against the suspension of cross-LoC trade by the Home Ministry of India.
Scores of the traders along with union’s General Secretary Mohammad Shafi and chairman of cross-LoC Trade Association assemble at Partap Park in Srinagar to revoke the decision of cross-border trade suspension.

Cross-LoC traders protest at press colony in Srinagar on April 22, 2019
The protesting traders said that the cross border trade started by Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2008, has led the thousands of families across border to come on the roads. “The chain is associated with lakhs of people across the border and if the decision is not being revoked it will devastate all of them,” General Secretary Slamabad Cross-Loc Trade Union Mohammad Shafi said “The sudden decision has saddened the traders across the border,” he added.
Hilal Ahmed, Chairman Cross Loc Traders Association briefed the media reporters that trade started in 2008, is associated with lakhs of people across the border. He said that it was the traders demand from day first to provide the full-proof mechanism to the traders operating across the border.
On April 19, we were informed about the suspension of the trade, whatever items we had taken from this side are stuck at different places while most of the items have rotten, as fruits cannot remain fresh for a long time.
He said the authorities concerned with it should have at least informed the traders before the suspension order, the decision has literally devasted the families.
Meanwhile, the Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industries (KCCI) extend their support to the traders and sought the early redressal of the grave issue.
“KCCI is in support of the traders and if there is any misuse of the system its government’s responsibility to look over it, why wasn’t it, suspended from last eleven years,” senior vice president KCCI Nasir Hameed Khan said.
Earlier, Home Ministry of India ordered the suspension of cross-LoC trade via Salamabad (Uri) and Chakan-da-Bagh (Poonch) routes.
“The Govt of India has received reports that cross LoC trade routes being misused by Pakistan based elements. The misuse involves illegal inflows of weapons, narcotics & fake currency etc,” said the MHA, in an order.
However, reports have been received that the LoC trade is being misused on very large scale. It has been revealed that the trade has changed its character to mostly third party trade and products from other regions, including foreign countries, are finding their way through this route. Unscrupulous and anti national elements are using the route as a conduit for Hawala money, drugs and weapons, under the garb of this trade. Though this is yet to be established, the loud thinking on the barter trade coincided with the recovery of 66.50 kgs of heroin and brown sugar in 300 packets from a truck that had come from PaK on July 21. The driver Syed Yousf Shah, a resident of Charwaya village was arrested, so was the Pampore based fake trader  Musadiq Masoodi S/o. Mohd. Afzal Masoodi, Tajamul Masoodi S/o.Badurdin Masoodi R/o.Bagander  and Nayeem Bhat (Pampore)  in whose name the consignment of clothes had come from Anjum Zaman. The consignment was basically for M/S Kuloo Suppliers owned by Gul Ayazudin Gouhar at Fruit Mandi Parimpora Srinagar. But he had sold his turn to Masoodi.
The order said the cross-LoC trade mechanism is therefore suspended till a stricter regulatory regime is put in place.
“This is to ensure that only bonafide trade takes place, for the benefit of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, through this mechanism,” reads the order issued by MHA.

Growing Sage for profit

Salvia officinalis seeds

Salvia officinalis-Sage is one of the oldest medicinal plants being used since ancient Egypt. By then it was used to stop bleeding wounds and for disinfection, also having curative properties in gastric diseases.

An old proverb says “who has sage in the garden does not need a doctor”, and reality perfectly reflects this sayings. In the garden it chase away insects that attack carrots, cabbage, strawberries, tomatoes and marjoram.
Dried sage leaves placed in the closet banish insects from the house. Sage essential oil is used in cosmetics, and the leaves are used successfully both in phytotherapy and gastronomy.
Sage can do wonders for the beauty chapter, especially for our hair. For example, in order to maintain the natural color and shine of your hair, after washing it with regular shampoo, do the final rinse with this decoction prepared as follows: put 3-4 tablespoons of crushed soaked sage in half a liter of water, let it sit for 8-10 hours then filter the liquid.
The resulting preparation is put aside and the plant left after filtration is boiled in half liter of water for five minutes, then leave to cool and filtered. Finally mix the two extracts, yielding approximately one liter of preparation that is used internally (1-2 cups per day) or externally as compresses and baths.
For black hair, a decoction prepared in the same way is recommended, but in a mixture of equal parts of black tea and sage. Sage is also good for gray hair care because it strengthens and restores its color.
Also, your teeth will become whiter and brighter if you rub them with sage leaves. Rinsing your mouth with tea sage will ensure an efficient cleaning of the oral cavity and, in addition, a fresh breath.

Highway Ban: It is Delhi’s undeclared war against Kashmir, says Er Rasheed

Highway Ban: It is Delhi’s undeclared war against Kashmir, says Er Rasheed


Er Rasheed said “It is obvious that people have revolted against all anti-Kashmiris forces including NC, PDP and PC who have acted as collaborators of Delhi and reduced themselves to the level of casual laborers of their masters. While some times election boycott becomes a necessity but under changing circumstances casting vote to reject Delhi’s proxies has become mandatory and masses should make a difference between their friends and foes. Kashmiris need to send their ambassadors to the Indian parliament who can tell spade a spade”.

Highway Ban : We don’t need permission from GoI to use our own roads, Mehbooba says

Speaking during the protest rally against the highway ban, former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti appealed the people to defy the ban on Srinagar-Jammu highway as the road belongs to Kashmir not the government of India.
