Srinagar, Saturday, Nov 15, KNT:
Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police Nalin Prabhat on Saturday described the massive explosion at Nowgam Police Station as an accidental and deeply unfortunate incident, confirming the deaths of nine personnel and injuries to twenty-seven others. The blast occurred late Friday night during the examination of highly unstable explosive material recovered earlier from Faridabad as part of an ongoing investigation.

Briefing media, the DGP said the seized ammonium nitrate and related substances had been stored at the police station in accordance with the procedure followed during live investigations. He noted that forensic teams and senior officers were engaged in sampling and technical assessment when the material unexpectedly detonated.

“Despite all precautions, an accidental blast took place, resulting in the tragic loss of nine lives and injuries to twenty-seven others. The investigation linked to the seized material is continuing,” Prabhat said.

According to police, the deceased include one SIA official, three personnel from the Forensic Science Laboratory, two crime photographers, two revenue officials and one tailor who was present at the site. Among the injured are civilians as well as police personnel, several of whom are undergoing treatment for critical wounds.

Historic Victory for PDP

14/11/2025

*PDP creates history, wins Budgam seat for first time by over 4,400 votes*

In a landmark political shift, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has won the Budgam Assembly constituency for the first time in history, breaking the decades-long dominance of the National Conference (NC) in the central Kashmir seat.

PDP's Aga Syed Muntazir Mehdi, a winning margin of 4,496 votes, marking a significant breakthrough for the party, which had never tasted victory in Budgam across multiple assembly elections.

The by-election was necessitated after Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who won both Ganderbal and Budgam seats last year, chose to retain Ganderbal, leaving Budgam vacant.

Despite Budgam being a NC stronghold - historically held by the Aga family - the campaign this time appeared visibly weaker. Senior NC leader and MP Aga Syed Ruhulla Mehdi, who commanded a strong personal influence in the area, did not campaign for the party candidate. Political observers say this directly contributed to a split in NC's traditional vote base, benefiting the PDP.

For the PDP, the victory marks a crucial political milestone. Until now, the party had only three members in the Jammu & Kashmir Legislative Assembly. With this win, PDP will now have four MLAs, strengthening its voice in the House.

The seat has historically remained out of PDP's reach. In 2024, Omar Abdullah (NC) defeated PDP's Muntazir Mehdi by 18,485 votes, in 2014, 2008, 2002, NC's Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi won consecutively
and in 1996, NC's Syed Gh Hussain Geelani won the seat

With a strong margin and a historic breakthrough, PDP's victory in Budgam is being seen as a sign of changing political winds in central Kashmir. The party leadership is expected to capitalise on this momentum as they prepare for the next political cycle—
