PDP Vice President Sartaj Madni Counters MLA Devsar Feroz Ahmad Shah’s Remarks on Development

Devsar, Kulgam, Dec 01: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Vice President Mohammad Sartaj Madni on Monday strongly countered the recent remarks of MLA Devsar, Peerzada Feroz Ahmad Shah, who alleged that the PDP had done “nothing” for Devsar constituency during its tenure.

Responding to the statement, Madni said that the developmental works highlighted by MLA Feroz Shah — including the inauguration of two roads “were originally proposed and sanctioned during my tenure as MLA Devsar.”

He said that when the people of Devsar gave him the mandate, the “development across the entire belt stood at zero percent,” adding that the major projects visible today “were laid and established during my time in office.”

Madni further accused the National Conference of failing to fulfill the promises made in its election manifesto, particularly regarding employment generation.

“Thousands of educated youth have become over-aged and lost hope due to unfulfilled commitments,” Madni said, alleging that the National Conference has failed to provide jobs to the youth.

The Private Schools Association of Jammu & Kashmir (PSAJK) today addressed the media regarding the ongoing winter vacations, issuing an advisory aimed at guiding students toward meaningful and productive engagement during the break.

The Association appealed to students to follow a balanced routine that includes revision of core subjects, reading beyond textbooks, and engaging in constructive indoor activities.
The Association also encouraged students to utilise digital learning resources responsibly, avoid excessive screen time, and devote time to skill-building exercises. PSAJK stressed the importance of maintaining physical and mental fitness amid the harsh winter months through light indoor exercises, reading habits, and family interaction.
Reaffirming its commitment to the academic growth of children, PSAJK urged students across Jammu and Kashmir to “make every day count” and return to school rejuvenated, better prepared, and more confident once the vacation concludes.

ACB Files Charge-Sheet Against Former Scientist-C of PCC Srinagar in Bribery Trap Case

By GEO NATIONAL NEWS | 01 December 2025

The Jammu & Kashmir Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) today filed a charge-sheet against Dr. Bilquees Ara Sidique, former In-Charge Scientist-C of the Pollution Control Committee (PCC) Srinagar, in a bribery trap case. The charge-sheet has been submitted in FIR No. 02/2024 registered under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, at Police Station ACB Srinagar.
The case stems from a written complaint filed on 08 January 2024, alleging that the accused demanded a bribe of ₹20,000 for issuing a Consent to Operate (CTO) certificate for a bakery unit at Industrial Estate Khunmoh. Acting on the complaint, ACB laid a trap during which the officer was caught red-handed while accepting ₹5,000 from the complainant. The bribe money was recovered on the spot, and chemical tests later confirmed the presence of phenolphthalein powder on her hands.
During the investigation, the ACB established the commission of offences under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, supported by strong documentary and technical evidence. After securing the mandatory sanction for prosecution from the competent authority, the charge-sheet was presented before the Hon’ble Additional Special Judge Anti-Corruption Court Srinagar.
The court has scheduled the next hearing for 12 February 2026.
