LG flags off 75 e-buses launched under SSCL, says India takes a lead to reduce carbon emission

Says more 25 buses to ply on roads in next few days

Raja Syed Rather

Srinagar, Nov 01 (KNO): The Srinagar Smart City Limited (SSCL) on Wednesday launched 75 e-buses in Srinagar, saying that more 25 electric buses will be plying on the roads in next few days.

The e-buses were inaugurated by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today.

Pertinently, Jammu and Kashmir administration has procured 200 e-buses, 100 each for Jammu and Srinagar cities. These air conditioned buses with CCTVs installed inside have been procured under the Smart City project.

The e-buses will also have digital on-boarding facility, live tracking so that people can be aware about arrival timing of the buses.

While speaking on the occasion, the LG as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said that it is a happy moment for Srinagar as 75 e-buses have been launched, which will ensure zero emission on the ground.

He added that more 25 such buses will be plying on the roads in the next few days, adding that Srinagar Smart City has taken an appreciable step by launching such buses here while the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has played a key role in making such a step successful.

The Lt Governor further added that India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a lead to reduce the carbon footprint as the existing vehicles have badly impacted the ecology and increased the pollution as well.

In this regard, a bold decision to come up with e-buses was taken by PM Modi and thus Rs 100 crore capex has been spent on such buses while 66 crore out of it is being given by the Government of India.

Also, in 12 years, Rs 900-Rs950 crore is being spent on the maintenance and other things and 50 percent out of it is being supported by GoI, he said.

E-buses will be plying on 15 intra-city routes and 2 inter-city routes and will be running a minimum of 200 KM per day from 8 AM to 8 PM.

There are two types of electric buses which include 75 nine meter buses and 25 are 12 meter buses. These electric buses will ensure zero emission and the driver will have all the control on the vehicles like doors and other things.

The officials had earlier stated that these buses are more similar to those in London buses and the idea is that the buses will run for next 12 years. The contract for the first 12 years has been given to Tata Company and a proper route planning has been done in this regard.

Notably, the trial run of six such buses was done in August this year—(KNO)

Dip in student admissions at KU triggers alarm, academicians urge LG to intervene

Dip in student admissions at KU triggers alarm, academicians urge LG to intervene

Srinagar, Nov 01 (KNO): With PG admissions at the Kashmir University witnessing a sharp decline for the first time in its history, academicians have voiced concern over failure of the Varsity authorities to address the burgeoning issue.

The Varsity authorities are themselves struggling to find ways and means to fill up the vacant seats in various PG courses at the main and satellite campuses.

Sources told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that almost all seats in self-finance category at the main campus are vacant, while scores of seats in General (Open) category are also vacant in the Main Campus at Hazratbal, as also at the satellite campuses in Baramulla, Anantnag and Kupwara.

“Nearly 100 seats in main campus are vacant in various PG courses in General category, while over 200 seats are vacant in self-finance category,” the sources added.

The situation with Institute of Technology, Zakura Campus, is worst with 80 to 90 percent seats in its various branches vacant. Some seats are vacant in computer engineering course at North Campus as well. Even newly introduced courses at North Campus and Kupwara Campus have found very little takers, reflecting the University’s failure to do proper homework before launching these courses.

Academicians have voiced concern and requested LG Manoj Sinha, who is the KU’s Chancellor, to discuss the matter in the J&K Higher Education Council (JKHEC) headed by him.

“This situation is unprecedented. VC KU should have apprised the Chancellor about the declining admissions so that JKHEC could discuss ways and means to address this critical issue,” said a KU teacher, wishing not to be named.

He said the University authorities seem to be unmoved by the declining admissions which is tarnishing the perception and reputation of the institution in the eyes of the public.

“If admissions have dipped so much this year, there are fears that the situation could be worse next year. It is high time for the University to stop granting extension after extension for admissions and seriously find out reasons for steep dip in admissions,” said a teacher at South Campus.

He said the University’s decision to call for ‘open and spot admissions’ in bid to fill vacant seats is fraught with potential consequences. “Giving open admissions means compromising with merit and quality of candidates,” the teacher said.

“Five months have passed since the entrance test was held, but admissions are still open. How long will this work?” Another academician suggested that JKHEC should order an academic audit of various courses being offered by the University to assess their viability and future prospects.

“If some courses need to be closed, it must be done. But new courses should be introduced strictly after assessing their viability,” he said.

A KU official said recently the Vice Chancellor chaired a meeting of officials to discuss the issue of declining admissions, but couldn’t reach a consensus on the way forward.

“Once upon a time KU was the most sought-after institution where students would be more than willing to pay for payment seats. There was no question of any vacant seat in any department,” said a former KU Dean.

“Today, there is a huge question mark on the academic and research activities of the University despite its claims of NIRF and NAAC rankings”—(KNO)

‘Want to make my family proud, as my parents worked hard for my success’

Rehan Qayoom Mir

Srinagar, Nov 01 (KNO): Aqsa Gulzar, an athlete, who represented Jammu and Kashmir on different national and international platforms, has made the entire Union Territory proud as she won a ‘Gold Medal’ in the recently held 37th National Games in Goa.

Aqsa, a 19-year-old talented athlete, hailing from Nowshera area of Srinagar, has been in the field of sports for the last seven years. As a female athlete, her journey has been challenging and inspirational.

While speaking and sharing her achievements with the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Aqsa said, “I have worked very hard for my career, and my inspiration is my father, and all I wanted is to make my family proud as they have seen a lot and have supported me at every step of mine.”

“My father is also an ex-sportsman, and he knows the struggles an athlete has to face while pursuing his/her dreams. He, along with my other family members, has supported me wholeheartedly,” said Aqsa, adding, “I have two more sister, a father, and a mother back at home, who are very supportive, and I wanted to make them all proud.”

Regarding her achievements, Aqsa further highlighted, “besides the recent Gold medal in the 37th National Games held in Goa, I have also won a bronze medal in the 19th World Championship in Malaysia, a Gold Medal at the Asian Championship, a Bronze Medal at the Senior National 2022, a Gold Medal at the 6th Federation Cup in Goa, and a Gold Medal at the 11th Senior National 2023 held between August 12 and 15 in Nasik, Maharashtra.”

When asked about how it feels being a female athlete in the Kashmir, Aqsa said that, “being an athlete means so much; it means the willingness to train hard, wanting to grow with my team and coaches to be the best I can be, with a message that it’s wrong to think that girls do not need to play sports, as we also need to keep ourselves safe, and sports help with that a lot.”

Pertinently, Aqsa was also praised by the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, when she showed a spectacular performance in the world Pencak Silat championship—(KNO)
