We extend our sincere gratitude to the Traffic Department for their swift and efficient response today, which facilitated timely interventions and minimized disruptions to the public.
We kindly request the continuation of their efforts and deployment of traffic personnel at the stretch from Mehandi Kadal–Court Road, Dangerpora, Mattan Chowk, Iqbal Market, Hospital Road, and Sheirbagh,
as especially at Mattan chowk after 4 PM to 6:00 PM this would significantly alleviate traffic congestion in these areas.

Anantnag: The Municipal Council Anantnag organized a comprehensive sanitation drive in the Khanabal area during the evening hours with the objective of ensuring cleanliness of public places, streets, lanes, drains, and marketplaces, and to raise public awareness about hygiene and health.

A large number of sanitation workers from the Municipal Council actively participated in the drive. During the अभियान, garbage and waste were removed from roadsides, internal lanes, drains, and waste-prone spots. The collected waste was disposed of in a scientific and proper manner. Machinery and municipal vehicles were also deployed to ensure that the sanitation process was carried out efficiently and within a stipulated time.

Municipal officials stated that Khanabal is a densely populated area where regular and sustained sanitation measures are essential. They reaffirmed that the Municipal Council Anantnag remains committed to providing a clean and healthy environment to the city and its adjoining areas, and that such sanitation drives are being conducted on a regular basis as part of this commitment.

The officials appealed to the general public to dispose of garbage only at designated places, refrain from littering streets and drains, and extend full cooperation to sanitation workers so that the area can be kept clean and healthy. They emphasized that a clean environment not only helps in preventing diseases but also enhances the overall beauty and livability of the city.

Local residents welcomed the initiative of the Municipal Council and expressed hope that such drives will continue in the future as well, ensuring a better and more effective sanitation system across Khanabal and the entire city.

Kulgam Police Recover Missing Children in Just Two Hours

Police Station Qaimoo received information that a minor girl from Redwani Payeen, aged around 07 years, had left her home on her bicycle at approximately 1000 hours and had not returned.

During verification, it was found that her juvenile cousin, aged around 13 years, who had been playing with her at their residence, had also gone missing along with his bicycle.

Family members searched among relatives, but both children remained untraced. After the family posted an appeal for help on Facebook, some unknown callers attempted to mislead them with ransom-related calls.

Considering the sensitivity of the matter, SSP Kulgam constituted a police team to trace the missing children. The team pursued all available leads, analysed CCTV footage, and utilised technical assistance to track the movement of the minors.

Through swift and coordinated efforts, the police team successfully traced both children at Janglat Mandi, Anantnag, within two hours of the matter being reported, ensuring their safe recovery.

Both minors were safely handed over to their families after completion of necessary legal formalities.

SSP Kulgam appeals to the general public to remain vigilant regarding the safety of their children and to report such matters to police without delay.
He also urged media persons to strictly refrain from sharing photographs, identities, or any personal details of juveniles while reporting such cases.

PRESS RELEASE
Date: 04 December 2025
Place: Anantnag
Traders Federation Anantnag Visits MMAB Hospital, GMC Anantnag; Authorities Assure Key Reforms, Chairman Urges Recruitment of 100 Vacant Posts
A high-level delegation of the Traders Federation Anantnag, led by its Chairman Sajjad Ahmad Hakeem, along with the General Secretary Sajad Ahmad Lone and Executive Members, today paid an official visit to MMAB Hospital, GMC Anantnag to follow up on the public issues raised in the memorandum addressed to the Principal, Government Medical College Anantnag, regarding the daily functioning of the hospital.
During the visit, the delegation held a detailed and constructive interaction with the Medical Superintendent, the Head of the Paediatric Department, and the Media Coordinator, GMC Anantnag. The delegation highlighted key public grievances related to emergency services, OPD and IPD management, availability of senior doctors during night shifts, diagnostic facilities, sanitation, prescription practices, and overall patient facilitation.
The hospital authorities responded in a highly positive, cooperative, and constructive manner and gave the following important assurances:
• ✅ Emergency Services will be treated on TOP PRIORITY with strengthened staffing and responsiveness.
• ✅ More ticket counters will be installed shortly for patient convenience.
• ✅ A Prescription Audit Committee will conduct regular audits.
• ✅ Doctors will ensure that all prescriptions are written in CAPITAL and clear, legible handwriting.
• ✅ Female technical staff will be deployed for ECG services to ensure the comfort and dignity of female patients.
The Chairman also strongly urged the Health & Medical Education Department to immediately recruit nearly 100 vacant posts at GMC Anantnag, stating that the acute staff shortage is directly affecting patient care, especially in emergency and critical departments. He stressed that timely recruitment is essential to ease the burden on the existing workforce and to provide quality medical treatment to the public.
The Chairman emphasized that GMC Anantnag caters to thousands of patients daily, particularly poor and underprivileged patients coming from far-flung and rural areas of South Kashmir, Pir Panchal region including Kishtwar, Ramban, and Banihal, and therefore strengthening manpower and infrastructure is a humanitarian necessity.
The Traders Federation Anantnag expressed full satisfaction over the patient-friendly and proactive approach of the hospital administration and wholeheartedly appreciated the cooperation of:
• The Medical Superintendent
• The HOD, Paediatric Department
• The Media Coordinator, GMC Anantnag
for their assurance of visible and time-bound improvements.
While addressing the media, Chairman Sajjad Ahmad Hakeem stated:
“Our memorandum and today’s visit were purely aimed at public welfare. We are satisfied with the assurances given by the Principal and the hospital authorities. At the same time, we strongly urge the Health Department to fill nearly 100 vacant posts at GMC Anantnag without delay so that patients, especially from far-flung areas, do not suffer.”
The Traders Federation Anantnag reaffirmed its commitment to work as a bridge between the public and the administration for the continuous improvement of medical services in Anantnag.

As the Constituency incharge for AIP Anantnag West I strongly condemn and reject the KPDCL’s arbitrary proposal to impose a 20% surcharge on electricity during peak hours, which is nothing short of economic cruelty against the people of Kashmir as we brace for a harsh winter. This move is a direct assault on the poor, penalizing families for using heating and lighting when they need it most, and it starkly exposes the administration's failure to upgrade infrastructure while shifting the burden of their mismanagement onto the common man. Furthermore, this surcharge adds insult to injury regarding the government's broken election promise of providing 200 free units of electricity; instead of delivering unconditional relief, they have betrayed voters by attaching impossible conditions like mandatory solar installations. We demand an immediate rollback of this anti-people surcharge and the unconditional fulfillment of the free electricity promise, failing which AIP will be forced to launch a public agitation to protect the rights of our people."
