After Rajya Sabha Move, Nitish Kumar’s New Snub For Minister RCP Singh
Editorial
SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Kashmir Searching For Its Magic Amid Tourism Boom & Amp; Targeted Killings Jammu and Kashmir is once again at the centre of a raging political debate. In the past fewweeks, several targeted killings of non-Kashmiris and Kashmiri Pundits have rocked thenation’s conscience. News reports suggest that Kashmiri Pundits are desperate to leave thevalley while the government machinery is trying to prevent them from what appears to be thefinal exodus. Social media is flooded with desperate comments that talk about thedeteriorating situation in Kashmir on the one hand and The Kashmir Files movie and similartopics on the other. No one seems to know whom to blame for the apparent anarchy in theUnion Territory.But away from this political debate and bloodshed, Kashmir is as serene and blissful as ithas always been. Undaunted by the spate of targeted killings, tourists have visited the valleyin record numbers this summer. As against a little shy of 7 lakh tourists last year, theKashmir valley has seen over 8 lakh tourists between January and May 2022.Tourism is booming in Kashmir! The Dal Lake resembles a busy city of colorful shikaras, theSrinagar airport has handled a record number of flights and tourists this season -- longqueues being a new normal at the airport. Reports suggest that hotels are running at fulloccupancy and markets are bustling with tourists. Restaurants are packed and Kashmiricuisine is having its best moments in decades.The valley saw a record 2.8 lakh tourists in April 2022, the highest in nearly 3 decades. Thetourism department officials expect the rush to continue until June and the uptick in touristarrival throughout the year.From 30 June, the Amarnath Yatra will begin and over eight lakh pilgrims are expected tomake the pilgrimage this year.Besides the main destinations that draw the maximum number of tourists including Gulmarg,Sonamarg, Pahalgam, Dal Lake, and Wular Lake, the state tourism department has opened75 new destinations that include Bungus, Lolab Gurez, and Dodipathri. Adventure tourismand adventure sports activities are becoming more popular as more tourists are choosingtrekking, camping, mountain biking, river rafting, paragliding, and hot air balloon rides duringtheir stay in the valley.Quoting tour operators, media reports tell that the average stay of tourists is from 10 to 15days and they are willing to spend 30%-40% percent more on travelling to the Kashmirvalley. Finding hotel rooms in tourist hotspots is not easy as they are seeing 100%occupancy even at 60% to 100% higher rates.The rebound of tourism in Kashmir kicked off in the post-Covid period when tourism in thepremier Indian tourist destination, Kerala, took a hit from Covidrelated slump andcomplications. Tourism department officials attribute the success to aggressive marketing, pan-India promotion, and effective Covid management that saw all stakeholders from cabdrivers to hotel owners vaccinated.Various reports suggest that the sense of normalcy in the Kashmir valley has strengthenedand the targeted killing of non-Kashmiris and Kashmiri Pundits could be desperate attemptsby the militants to disturb emerging peace and confidence. As per the government data, atleast 80 lakh people visited Jammu & Kashmir between October 2021 and March 2022.Chief Justice of India N V Ramana who was in Srinagar in mid-May to lay the foundation of anew high court building recalled the instances of kindness and hospitality he received fromordinary Kashmiris. Extolling the beauty of Kashmir, he recited poet Ali Jawad Zaidi’scouplet: “Muddaton baad jo aayaa hoon is vaadi mein, ik naya husn, naya rang nazar aatahai (As I’ve come to this valley after a long time, I could see a new beauty, new color). Thesefamous words of Poet Ali Jawad Zaidi reflect my sentiments,” he said.Talking about Kashmir, its people, and beauty, the CJI said, “I had the fortune to visit thisparadise many times, but every time I have been amazed by its beauty and moved by itshospitality. It’s a land where one gets to experience four seasons. The kindness of thepeople here, and the enriching culture of Kashmir, transforms every soul that visits thisscenic land.”Justice Ramana took the help of another Urdu poet Rifat Sarfarosh to express himself. “Yeh khitaye Kashmir hai, jannat ki ik tasweer, insaniyat ki dastaan, harzarre mein tehreer (This isKashmir -- an image of heaven, a story of humanity, is ingrained in every particle of thisland).”Kashmir’s tourism is on a rebound and that’s great news.

by governments, but it’s built on true events,” the home minister said while releasing the book ‘Maharanas: A Thousand Year War for Dharma’ by Omendra Ratnu at the NDMC Hall on Friday. In the wake of both the RSS and the BJP alleging that history books were created by
Left historians and those who had ignored the contributions of Hindu kings and kingdoms, Shah has been urging writers and filmmakers to work on “bringing out the truths”. The home minister was present at the screening of television serial ‘Vidrohi’, based on the life of Odia freedom.

the women’s singles, Sindhu was made to toil hard for over an hour by Gregoria Mariska Tunjung of Indonesia before winning 23-21 20-22 21-11 in the second round. Sen, seeded seventh, will next be
pitted against Chinese Taipei’s third seed Chou Tien Chen, who had defeated the Indian in a three-game thriller during the Thomas Cup last month in their only meeting.A tough quarterfinal awaits fourth seeded Sindhu as she will next take on Thailand’s fifth seed Ratchanok Intanon, who defeated Kirsty Gilmour of Scotland 21-17192121-15 in another second round match.

Can’t ask them to drop Rohit Sharma or KL Rahul and prefer me as opener: Ishan Ishan Kishan slammed a brilliant 76 off 48 balls in the first T20I against South Africa but the visitors secured a seven-wicket win in Delhi. Agency News:New Delhi Two of Ishan Kishan’s first three boundaries came from thick outside edges. He
was beaten five times - some because of genuine movement from the pitch, the rest due to him trying to force the issue in the first 5 overs of India’s innings but he did not throw it away. He hung in there and yet did not shy away from trying his shots. Kishan’s breakthrough came in the 9th over when he
delayed a cut shot to perfection off a Dwaine Pretorious length delivery and got it to race away past the point fielder. When Pretorious tried to correct his length, Kishan then drilled it past the covers to collect yet another boundary in that over. That was just the over Kishan needed to break free. Kishan’s
full fuery was seen in the 13th over. He backed himself to go with the angle of left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj and it worked. Two sixes and two fours in the first four deliveries. He was holed out in the last ball of the over in trying to hit another biggie but by then he had done his job. Kishan had smashed 76 off 48 balls to give India the perfect platform on which Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant would weave their magic to the hosts to 211 for 4 batting first in the first T20I against South Africa at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. David Miller and Rassie van der Dussen put on a show, taking full advantage of the improving conditions.

The billionaires’ companies are expected to be the top two contenders at a June 12 Indian Premier League auction, which is likely to lure several bidders for separate,
five-year telecasting and online streaming contracts in different geographies. The tycoons are preparing aggressive game plans to ensure a win, according to people familiar with the matter. Other fierce competitors include Walt Disney Co., which held the rights until this year’s just-concluded season, and Sony Group Corp.For the two first-time participants, there’s far more at stake than just a shot at becoming the No. 1 media player in a country of 1.4 billion people.

Agency News:New Delhi Fitch Ratings on Friday revised its outlook on India’s long-term foreign currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to “Stable” from “Negative,” citing diminished downside risks to medium-term growth. The ratings agency said risks to the country’s mediumterm growth lessened due to rapid economic recovery and easing financial sector weakness, despite nearterm headwinds from the global commodity price shock.“High nominal GDP
growth has facilitated a nearterm reduction in the debtto-GDP ratio,” Fitch said in a statement.Fitch lowered India’s economic growth for 2022/23 to 7.8% from the 8.5% it had forecast in March, saying the inflationary impacts of the global commodity price shock were dampening some of the positive growth momentum. However, Fitch’s projection was ahead of Reserve Bank of India’s projection of 7.2%. In 2021/22, India’s economic growth was 8.7%.Fitch kept its rating of BBB- on India.
