Highway Closure: Honey bees dying at an alarming rate

Highway Closure: Honey bees dying at an alarming rate



Srinagar, Apr 9, : Local beekeepers say honey bees are dying at an alarming rate during halt of traffic on Kashmir highway to facilitate movement of army convoys. 

    The local and non-local beekeepers urged upon the Governor Administration to stave off this disaster and save their industry that is the source of income for thousands of people living in Kashmir and outside state. 

   There are at least 2000 beekeepers in Kashmir who do their business in Jammu, Samba, Punjab, UP, Rajhstan and other areas of India. Similarly, beekeepers from Punjab, Utrakhan, Haryana and other parts do business in Kashmir. Usually, beekeepers from Kashmir doing business outside arrive with honeybees’ colonies in 5000 loaded trucks in April. 

   The halt of traffic on highways has turned out to be the biggest nuisance for these beekeepers. Noor Muhammad who heads Beekeepers Association and ‘Valley Apiaries Food Products told news agency CNS that bees survive under a particular temperature  (70 Degree Celsius) inside a truck and when this truck halts for more than hours, the extra temperature kills the colonies of bees.

    “An average of 25 percent of bee colonies died following the highway closure ‘diktat’. The death of bees at an alarming rate at highways inside the trucks has threatened our livelihood. The colonies have deteriorated so badly that some beekeepers may not be able to carry on,” he said.

   Noor Muhammad believes that the ban on the civilian traffic movement on Wednesday (tomorrow) will surely add to the toll. “Traffic is supposed to move from Jammu to Srinagar on Wednesday-the day when highway will remain closed. There will be more deaths and it will add to our frustration,” he said. 

 “We are at a turning point with our political situation and we are going to pay a dear price for this and that will come very soon,” he added.

   Government of India a couple of days back imposed a blanket ban on the movement of civilian traffic on Kashmir highways from Udhampur to Baramulla twice a week-Sunday and Wednesday to facilitate the movement of army convoys. 

    The move has disrupted the business and other activities and it has not untouched the beekeeping industry as well. 

“If we lose the honey bee well, we lose the best things that we eat,” said Ajaz Ahmed, another beekeeper.

    He said on the one hand government is organizing workshops and launching schemes to give a boost to this industry but on the other, it is seeking pleasure in watching the silent death of beekeeping business. (CNS)

April 9, 2017:When 8 budding youth fall prey to bullets on polling day

Srinagar, Apr 9, : As political parties are busy in campaigning for Parliament elections, this day on 9 April 2017, government forces gunned down 8 youth on polling day for the same Parliament elections in Kashmir Valley.

   On 9 April 2017, by-election for Parliament was conducted for Srinagar-Budgam seat. The People’s Democratic Party’s Nazir Ahmad Khan and National Conference’s Farooq Abdullah were in the fray to secure the parliament seat.  At most of the polling stations of more than 1,500, government forces deployed outnumbered the voters. With negligible response from the people, that first phase of by-elections had been marred by a low voting percentage (7.1%), massive protests, internet gag and civilian killings.

    At least 8 youth were killed and over 150 persons wounded in those what officials called ‘failed’ elections.

   The slain were Faizan Fayaz Dar (15), Abass Jahangir (22) of Dalwan Pakharpora, Shabir Ahmed Bhat (22) of Dawlatpora Chadoora, Nisar Ahmed Mir (25) of Ratsun Beerwah, Akeel Ahmed Wani (22) of Churmujroo Beerwah, Adil Farooq Sheikh (19) of Yarigund Kawoosa Khalisa, Amir Ahmed Rather (20) of Dadwanpora Chadoora and Omar Farooq Ganie (21) of Barsoo Ganderbal.

Mirwaiz again appears before NIA in New Delhi


New Delhi: Hurriyat (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umer Farooq Tuesday appeared before the National Investigation Agency for the second consecutive day for questioning in connection with a case related to alleged funding of militant groups and separatist organisations in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said here.

The Mirwaiz came to the NIA headquarters under police protection and will be questioned on the matter of funding of his own party — Awami Action Committee — and Hurriyat Conference, a conglomerate of several separatist organisations, the officials said.

The Mirwaiz is the chairman of the Hurriyat Conference which has in the past engaged with the NDA and UPA-led governments for talks to find a lasting solution to the Kashmir issue.

The NIA has also summoned Naseem Geelani, son of Hurriyat (G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani, on Tuesday but it was not immediately clear whether he was appearing before the agency or not.

Ahead of his appearance before the NIA, the Hurriyat Conference chairman tweeted, “In Delhi today with my colleagues for the NIA summon, efforts to malign leadership for its political stand won’t work. Inspite of harassment Hurriyat will continue to seek peaceful resolution of the Kashmir issue. Urge people back home to stay calm and peaceful.”

The NIA had on February 26 carried out searches at premises of several leaders, including the Mirwaiz.

The probe agency questioned two maternal uncles of the Mirwaiz, Maulvi Manzoor and Maulvi Shafat, and his close aides last year. Both Manzoor and Shafat are retired senior government officers.

The Mirwaiz had informed the NIA that he was not acquainted with the subject matter of the FIR referred to in its notice and also added that the notice appears to have been issued on the basis of “fallacious assumptions and misinformation solely aimed at maligning” him. (PTI)
