    Hattian Bala – City Police Station Hattian Bala has arrested six individuals, including a local man associated with Hamza Welfare Trust, for allegedly scamming poor and disabled people. The arrests were made to prevent further exploitation of these vulnerable individuals, and more shocking revelations are expected as the investigation progresses.

    According to details, Syed Jawad Haider Kazmi, son of Amir Hussain Shah from Chham Doba village near Chinari, used his Facebook account and WhatsApp groups to promote the Hamza Welfare Trust. He claimed the trust would distribute wheelchairs to the disabled and free rations to the poor, but required a registration fee of 1,000 rupees upfront.

    The scheme unraveled when promised wheelchairs and rations were not delivered, prompting the victims to protest on the Srinagar Highway after leaving a private school. SHO City Police Station Hattian Bala, Manzar Hussain Chaghatai, investigated and discovered that Hamza Welfare Trust had brought only four wheelchairs but collected substantial registration fees from numerous individuals.

    Without the necessary NOC, the trust had set up a camp in Hattian Bala, charging 1,000 rupees per registration. The following individuals were arrested:
    1. Dr. Naseem, son of Muhammad Aziz, resident of Westridge Rawalpindi
    2. Shahid Mahmood, son of Shabir Ahmed, resident of Chakra District and Tehsil Rawalpindi
    3. Fayyaz Ahmad, son of Muhammad Khan, resident of Chakra Rawalpindi
    4. Syed Niaz Ali Shah, son of Shah Ali, resident of Khairabad
    5. Syed Farzan Shah, son of Syed Duran Shah, resident of Khairabad Mansehra
    6. Syed Jawad Haider Kazmi, son of Amir Hussain Shah, resident of Chham Doba, Jhelum Valley district

    Charges filed against them under sections 419/420, 467/468, and 471 of the APC, and an investigation is underway. SHO Manzar Hussain Chaghatai and his team commended for their swift action.

    The police urged that the funds stolen from the victims be recovered and returned to the rightful owners. They also warned the public to be cautious and avoid falling prey to similar scams. The police emphasized the importance of vigilance and awareness to protect hard-earned money from such fraudulent schemes.

Treat the citizens with respect and dignity.

       

      If any complaint is received regarding the respect of the elderly, strict action will be taken against it. Public toilets should be built at places. Atta doctors should be brought under the law. Doctors’ credentials should be checked in private hospitals. No one should be allowed to play with human lives. Officers should perform their duties as servants, not rulers. The officers who do good work, where the name of the state and the government shines, are supported by them One’s dignity in the family remains forever. State employees should work on merit instead of nepotism. In the army, martyrdom is given not for money but for the protection of the country, the same attitude should be in the civil service as well. High posts should not be made only as a source of employment. The bureaucracy of Azad Kashmir is highly capable and has full potential to create a welfare state.

The officers are highly educated and experienced. The poor people should be directly benefited. Until the public servants do not perform their duties with the spirit of service, the government cannot wear the vision of its welfare and welfare state in any practical way. He said Azad Kashmir. Reforms are needed in every sector.

       

      Government guidelines for cleaning and sanitation of cities should be strictly followed. Encroachment on storm drains should be stopped, there should be modern mechanism of garbage disposal. Sale of plastic shopping bags. A deadline has been given till January 15, after which there will be a complete ban on the sale. Cleaning of drinking water tanks for citizens should be done, thus CCTV cameras should be installed in cities to control crimes. Human lives should be protected. No minute should be spared to make. Agriculture

      More plantations should be done with promotion. The officers themselves and the subordinate employees should behave kindly towards the citizens. The behavior of the government missionaries should be exemplary so that people should not be afraid to come to them, if the employees maintain their behavior and morals.

       

      If they do, their complaints will also be less. We should get guidance from our religious civilized society, which teaches service to humanity. SP will be appointed to control the traffic accidents. The officers should remain neutral, instead of being the tools of any political party, they should be the servants of the state and the people. He said that every citizen of the state should play his role as a watchdog, if such complaints are found, they should be taken to the relevant forum. In this regard, Jed Ulama is making a board consisting of Ikram, from which fake and submissive gangsters are being identified.

      Benefits and Importance of B-Complex Vitamins

      Benefits and Importance of B-Complex Vitamins

      B-complex vitamins are a crucial group of nutrients your body needs to perform various vital functions. These vitamins are found in many foods, making it possible to meet the recommended daily intake through a well-balanced diet. However, individual needs for B vitamins can vary due to factors such as age, pregnancy, dietary habits, medical conditions, genetics, medication use, and alcohol consumption. In some cases, a dietary supplement known as a B-complex vitamin may be necessary to meet these increased demands.

      What Are B-Complex Vitamins?

      B-complex vitamins encompass all eight B vitamins in a single supplement. These vitamins are water-soluble, meaning the body does not store them and they need to be replenished regularly through diet or supplements. Each B vitamin has unique functions and benefits:

      • B-1 (Thiamine): Converts nutrients into energy; found in sunflower seeds and wheat germ.
      • B-2 (Riboflavin): Converts food into energy and acts as an antioxidant; found in meat and mushrooms.
      • B-3 (Niacin): Supports cellular signaling, metabolism, and DNA repair; found in chicken, tuna, and pulses.
      • B-5 (Pantothenic Acid): Produces energy from food and supports hormone and cholesterol production; found in celery, fish, yogurt, and avocado.
      • B-6 (Pyridoxine): Supports amino acid metabolism, red blood cell production, and neurotransmitter production; found in chickpeas, salmon, and potatoes.
      • B-7 (Biotin): Essential for carbohydrate and fat metabolism and regulates genetic expression; found in yeast, eggs, salmon, cheese, and kale.
      • B-9 (Folate): Needed for cell growth, amino acid metabolism, and blood cell production; found in leafy greens, legumes, and fortified foods.
      • B-12 (Cobalamin): Crucial for neurological function, DNA production, and red blood cell production; found in meat, eggs, seafood, and dairy products.

      Who Should Take B-Complex Vitamins?

      While most people can obtain sufficient B vitamins through a balanced diet, certain conditions may necessitate additional supplementation:

      • Pregnant or Lactating Women: Increased demand for B12 and folate during fetal growth.
      • Elderly Individuals: Reduced absorption of B-complex vitamins and decreased dietary intake.
      • People with Certain Medical Conditions: Conditions such as celiac disease, cancer, Crohn’s disease, alcoholism, hypothyroidism, and anorexia can increase susceptibility to nutrient deficiencies, including B vitamins.

      Health Benefits of B-Complex Vitamins

      Even for those without specific deficiencies, B-complex vitamins can offer several health benefits:

      • Reduced Stress and Improved Mood: B-complex vitamins are often used to alleviate fatigue and enhance mood.
      • Potential Reduction in Anxiety and Depression Symptoms: Supplementation may help manage symptoms of anxiety and depression.

      Conclusion

      Ensuring an adequate intake of B-complex vitamins is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. Whether through diet or supplementation, these vitamins play a vital role in energy production, metabolism, and the functioning of various body systems. For individuals with increased needs or certain health conditions, B-complex supplements can provide the necessary boost to maintain optimal health.

      SRINAGAR: (Azadi Times Newspaper) 04 January 2023 Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and around the world are celebrating Self-Determination Day tomorrow with the aim of putting pressure on the international community to fulfill its commitments to Kashmiris. Azadi Times Newspaper reported….,

       

      Self-Determination Day will be celebrated on the call of the All-Party Hurriyat Conference. Protests, rallies, and seminars will be held in both parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan and across the world to sensitize the international community on the sensitivity of the Kashmir conflict.

       

      It was on 5th January 1949 that the United Nations Security Council passed a historic resolution that stated that the question of the accession of the state of Jammu and Kashmir to India or Pakistan should be decided by the democratic method of the free and impartial referendum.

       

      Naeem Ahmad Khan and Ghulam Ahmad Gulzar, the leaders of the All-Party Hurriyat Conference, said in their statements in Srinagar that the resolution of January 5, 1949, is clear proof that Kashmir is not an internal matter of India but recognized at the international level.

       

      It is a disputed area. He urged the United Nations to fulfill its responsibility to resolve the Kashmir conflict in its historical context. Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, the senior leader of the All-Party Hurriyat Conference, in a statement issued in Srinagar, resolved the Kashmir conflict through negotiations.

      Indian troops along with paramilitary personnel and so-called Rural Defense Committee members continued the siege and search operations in the Rajouri, Kishtwar, and Riasi districts of the Jammu region.

       

      The Indian authorities have imposed a night curfew along the working camp in the Samba district. The Indian Army Tribunal rejected the bail of Indian Army Captain Bhupinder, who martyred three laborers from the Rajouri district in a fake encounter.

       

      This action of the tribunal has confirmed that Indian soldiers are extrajudicially killing innocent Kashmiri youth. A team of the Indian Army under the leadership of Captain Bhupinder killed these laborers on July 18, 2020, in Shopian. He was martyred in the Amshipora area.

      Editorial: The Unfulfilled Promise of Kashmir’s Right to Self-Determination

      Editorial: The Unfulfilled Promise of Kashmir’s Right to Self-Determination

      For 74 years, Kashmiris around the world have observed January 5 as Self-Determination Day, a solemn reminder of their enduring struggle for autonomy. This date marks the passage of a United Nations resolution that promised the people of Jammu and Kashmir the right to determine their own future through a free and impartial referendum. However, despite the passage of time, this promise remains unfulfilled, and the region continues to be a flashpoint for conflict between India and Pakistan.

      The resolution, adopted on January 5, 1949, outlined a clear process for resolving the dispute. It stipulated that the question of Kashmir’s accession to India or Pakistan would be decided by a democratic vote under the supervision of a UN-nominated moderator. This resolution was intended to bring peace and stability to the region following the first Indo-Pakistani war. Pakistan showed willingness to comply with these terms, but India’s stance shifted, prioritizing military occupation over diplomatic resolution.

      India’s refusal to withdraw its troops and create conditions conducive to a referendum has been the crux of the problem. This intransigence has led to decades of strife, casting a long shadow over South Asia. The UN’s resolutions on Kashmir, while advisory, were meant to provide a pathway to peace. Yet, they have been ignored, with India’s actions making a mockery of the international community’s efforts.

      The situation took a dramatic turn on August 5, 2019, when India abrogated Article 370, stripping Jammu and Kashmir of its special status. This move, seen by many as an attempt to further integrate the region into India, has only deepened the alienation and resentment among Kashmiris. Despite a severe military lockdown and efforts to suppress dissent, the spirit of resistance among the Kashmiri people remains unbroken. They continue to demand their right to self-determination, often at great personal cost.

      The United Nations, which has been proactive in implementing resolutions in other conflict zones, has largely turned a blind eye to Kashmir. This selective intervention undermines the credibility of the international body and exposes its susceptibility to the influence of powerful member states like the United States. It is imperative that the UN re-engage with the Kashmir issue, not just for the sake of regional stability, but also to uphold the principles of justice and self-determination that it purports to champion.

      The failure to resolve the Kashmir issue is not just a bilateral problem between India and Pakistan; it is a matter of international concern. Both nations are nuclear powers, and any escalation of the conflict could have catastrophic consequences. The UN must facilitate a fair and impartial referendum, allowing Kashmiris to decide their own fate. This step is crucial not only for peace in South Asia but also for the credibility of international law and institutions.

      Kashmir remains a tinderbox, and ignoring its unresolved status is a dangerous gamble. The international community, led by the UN, must act decisively to ensure that the promises made to the people of Kashmir are finally honored. The time for half-measures and rhetorical commitments is over; what is needed now is concrete action to bring about a just and lasting resolution to this long-standing conflict.

      Editorial: Media Integrity and the Urgent Need for Fair Representation

      The media, often heralded as the fourth pillar of the state, plays a pivotal role in shaping societal discourse and holding authorities accountable. However, in Pakistan, the media landscape is marred by distortions and omissions, particularly in its portrayal of critical issues.

      Despite its potential for societal betterment, the electronic media, in particular, has veered off course, prioritizing ratings over journalistic principles. This relentless pursuit of viewership has led to a proliferation of sensationalized content, permeating households with obscenity and indecency. The erosion of moral values within media programming has reached such heights that families find it increasingly challenging to engage in shared television viewing, exacerbating existing social divisions.

      Furthermore, the media’s silence on pressing issues in regions like Gilgit-Baltistan and Balochistan is deafening. These areas, rich in natural resources and strategic significance, are overlooked, their problems brushed aside as if they do not exist. Gilgit-Baltistan, in particular, stands at the crossroads of geopolitical interests, yet its plight remains largely ignored by mainstream media.

      The bureaucratic mishandling of Gilgit-Baltistan mirrors the injustices witnessed in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. Despite Pakistan’s vocal stance on Kashmir, bureaucratic negligence and disregard for legal norms prevail, perpetuating discontent among the region’s populace. While the international community acknowledges the legal status of Gilgit-Baltistan, the media’s silence allows for continued violations of basic rights and freedoms.

      The media’s failure to report on these issues not only undermines Pakistan’s interests but also enables foreign narratives to dominate the discourse. Indian media, in particular, exploits social media content to propagate its agenda, amplifying grievances that go unaddressed by Pakistani media outlets.

      It is imperative for Pakistani media to reclaim its integrity and fulfill its societal responsibilities. Rather than succumbing to sensationalism, media outlets must prioritize truth and fairness, amplifying marginalized voices and shedding light on social injustices. Moreover, there is an urgent need for increased scrutiny of bureaucratic actions in sensitive regions like Gilgit-Baltistan, ensuring they align with Pakistan’s principles and interests.

      In conclusion, the media must uphold its duty to society by fostering transparency, accountability, and fair representation. Only through an unwavering commitment to journalistic integrity can the media fulfill its role as a pillar of democracy and contribute meaningfully to Pakistan’s progress.

        Major Theft in Chinari Market as Thieves Target Shops and Motorcycles

        HATTIAN BALA: (Azadi Times) A series of brazen thefts has left the Chinari community in shock and despair. Just a few yards from the Chinari police station, a group of unknown thieves carried out a significant heist, breaking into multiple shops and stealing a motorcycle, resulting in losses worth lakhs of rupees.

        The incident began with the theft of a motorcycle belonging to Abdul Ghafoor, son of Ghulam Rabbani, a resident of Jaskol. The motorcycle was stolen from a bridge near the Chinari police station. Taking advantage of the darkness and severe cold on the night between Monday and Tuesday, the thieves proceeded to break into five shops in the Chinari main market.

        The victims included:
        – Sadiq Akbar, son of Muhammad Akbar, resident of Sadak Karina
        – Muhammad Maruf, son of Muzaffar Khan, resident of Amra Sawan
        – Mahmood Ahmed, son of Muhammad Ishaq, resident of Banyan
        – Muhammad Afzal, son of Shoaib, resident of Gujar Bandi
        – Shakil, son of Ghulam Khan, resident of Gujar Bandi

        The thieves stole millions of rupees in cash and valuable goods, leaving the poor shopkeepers devastated. This incident is part of a troubling trend of increasing thefts in the Jhelum Valley district as the new year begins.

        In response, IG Azad Kashmir has taken notice of the escalating incidents, particularly in Chinari and its surrounding areas. He has called for the police to intensify their efforts and ensure round-the-clock patrolling throughout the Jhelum Valley. The community is urging the police to take immediate action to arrest the thieves and recover the stolen property.

        There is growing frustration among residents, who have threatened to protest if their demands for safety and justice are not met. The recurring thefts have highlighted the need for improved vigilance and law enforcement to protect the lives and properties of the people in the region.
