Hajj Aspirants in Kashmir urge authorities to extend deadline for submission of applications

Say their passports are still under process

Srinagar, Jan 10: Several Hajj aspirants in Kashmir on Wednesday appealed to the government to extend the deadline for the submission of online applications as they cited that their passports are currently under process.

Speaking to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer, Hajj aspirants expressed the need for an extension of the deadline for online applications saying their passports are still in process, and there is a possibility they might not receive them by the on the cutoff date.

“I have completed all the necessary procedures and even underwent verification. But my passport is still pending,” said Mohammad Ayuob, a Srinagar resident.

“The delay in passport processing is causing concern; an extension in the application deadline would provide much-needed relief,” he said.

“Passport renewal for Hajj is underway, and despite fulfilling every requirement promptly, the pending status has become a hurdle. A deadline extension would offer a fair chance for us to submit our applications once our passports are in hand,” said Mohammad Saleem, another resident.

A group of Hajj aspirants said that there is crucial requirement of a passport number for the Hajj application, which they are yet to receive from the concerned authority. “With the application deadline set for January 15 and the uncertainty of receiving passports by that time, we urge the government to extend the deadline, providing much-needed relief for those awaiting their essential travel document,” they said—(KNO)

Jammu & Kashmir Board of School Education Cancels 2015 Annual Regular Result

The Jammu & Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) issued Notification No: 904/HSE-II/Annual-Regular-2015 on January 4, 2024, announcing the cancellation of the result for Higher Secondary Part-II (Class 12th) Annual Regular-2015 examination. The decision, as per the notification, was made in compliance with directives from authorities conveyed through letters dated December 15, 2023, and an additional order issued on December 27, 2023.

The cancellation of the result pertains specifically to the candidate Aamir Fayaz, son of Fayaz Ahmad Bhat, whose Roll No. was 4613270. The announcement underscores the gravity of the decision by stating that the cancellation is Ab initio, meaning it is null and void from the beginning.

J&K Government Issues Notification for New Recruitment 

The decision-making process leading to the cancellation involves communication from the Assistant Secretary Administration Central, as per letter No. ADMCOC/13/2022-07/164269, dated December 15, 2023. Subsequently, the Joint Secretary Examination Kashmir Division issued Order No. F(JSE-KD)B/23 on December 27, 2023, further solidifying the cancellation.

While the notification provides clear details about the cancellation, it does not delve into the specific reasons or circumstances leading to this drastic measure. The term “Ab initio” indicates that there might be serious irregularities or violations that question the legitimacy of the entire examination process for the mentioned candidate.

The cancellation of academic results is a rare and consequential action that can have far-reaching implications for the student involved. It not only impacts their academic standing but also raises questions about the integrity and fairness of the examination system.

This development prompts broader discussions about the measures in place to maintain the sanctity of examinations and the transparency of the education system. Authorities may need to consider more comprehensive and proactive strategies to prevent such situations from arising in the future.

As the stakeholders in the education community seek clarity on the circumstances leading to the cancellation, the JKBOSE is likely to face scrutiny for the decision. The affected candidate, Aamir Fayaz, and his guardians, along with the wider public, await further information that may shed light on the reasons behind this unprecedented move.

In conclusion, the cancellation of Aamir Fayaz’s Higher Secondary Part-II result sends ripples through the education community in Jammu & Kashmir. As the authorities address queries and concerns, there is an imperative need for transparency and communication to maintain the public’s trust in the education system.
