The @TOIIndiaNews has plagiarised my recent article NPR, republishing a terrible AI version of it. After I complained, the article was taken down hastily. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…

Minister of Science & Technology and Minister for IT is CM @OmarAbdullah. The portfolios not allocated to any minister are lying with the CM. The choice of the CM to keep Science & Technology & IT with himself came as a surprise, as these were always considered peripheral departments. .
I am surprised that even after the reshuffle, the Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir has still not nominated a Minister for Science & Technology / IT. From an employment perspective, this delay is worrying, as these departments are directly linked to IT infrastructure development, job creation, skill development, and startup growth in J&K. By the way, the Science & Technology / IT Department is also the enabler of good governance. @OmarAbdullah @CM_JnK

MLAs skip mnisters’ functions All is not well within @JKNC . Two of its MLAs abstained from a function chaired by the Minister for Finance & Agriculture Production Department on Sunday at Pampore. And today, at Minister Mir Saifullah’s welcome function, MLAs Qaiser Jamsheed Lone and Javid Ahmad Mirchal were absent.

Key moments from a meeting 1. An agitated man, visibly upset with his colleagues, was offered a glass of water by one of them. He threw the water from the glass. 2.During the heated exchange, he accused another colleague of maintaining close contact with his political rival in 2002. 3.He addressed another colleague by his father's name and remarked that he had not expected such conduct from him. 4. In another tense moment, he told a colleague, "Go and resign." 5.The agitated man took exception to another colleague's role in convening meetings, telling him, "You are hosting meetings now."

BREAKING: Brutal caning class for @JKNC legislators from Kashmir Valley It was not a meeting. It was a public thrashing. NC leadership lashed out at the rebel MLAs & almost 'rejected' all major demands -no cabinet reshuffle, no removal of Advisor. Only Deputy CM is set to be stripped of the Roads & Buildings portfolio.
