    یونیورسٹی میں انتظامی خلا، طلباء و عملہ پریشان — انقلابی نے فوری مداخلت کا مطالبہ کیا

    جی این ایس آنلائن نیوز پورٹل 

    راجوری، 29 اگست – سینئر پی ڈی پی رہنما محمد فاروق انقلابی نے یونیورسٹی میں جاری شدید انتظامی بحران پر گہری تشویش کا اظہار کرتے ہوئے کہا ہے کہ ریجسٹرار اور چیف اکاؤنٹس آفیسر (CAO) کی مستقل تعیناتی نہ ہونے کی وجہ سے ادارے کا تعلیمی و انتظامی نظام مفلوج ہو کر رہ گیا ہے۔

    انقلابی نے کہا کہ گزشتہ چھ ماہ سے ریجسٹرار کا عہدہ خالی ہے اور اس کا اضافی چارج ایک ضلعی افسر کے پاس ہے جو پہلے ہی پورے ضلع کے انتظامی امور کی ذمہ داری نبھا رہے ہیں، اس لیے وہ یونیورسٹی کو درکار وقت اور توجہ نہیں دے پا رہے۔

    اسی طرح چیف اکاؤنٹس آفیسر کا چارج بھی ایک انجینئرنگ محکمے کے افسر کے پاس ہے، جو یونیورسٹی کے مالی و انتظامی امور کے لیے وقت نکالنے سے قاصر ہیں۔

    انہوں نے کہا، “اس انتظامی خلا نے یونیورسٹی کو جمود کا شکار بنا دیا ہے۔ طلباء پریشان ہیں، عملہ مایوس ہے، اور روزمرہ کے کام بھی تاخیر کا شکار ہو رہے ہیں۔ نہ کوئی نگرانی ہے، نہ ہی کوئی ترقی۔”

    انقلابی نے خبردار کیا کہ اگر اس ادارے کو یوں ہی نظر انداز کیا جاتا رہا تو اس کا خمیازہ علاقے کے طلباء کو بھگتنا پڑے گا۔ انہوں نے کہا، “یونیورسٹی صرف ایک عمارت نہیں، بلکہ ہزاروں نوجوانوں کی امیدوں کا مرکز ہے۔ اسے انتظامی بے حسی کے باعث زوال کا شکار ہونے دینا ناقابل قبول ہے۔”

    انہوں نے معزز لیفٹیننٹ گورنر سے اپیل کی کہ وہ فوری طور پر اس مسئلے کا نوٹس لیں اور ریجسٹرار اور چیف اکاؤنٹس آفیسر کی باقاعدہ اور مستقل تعیناتی عمل میں لائیں تاکہ یونیورسٹی کا نظام دوبارہ فعال ہو سکے۔

    اختتام پر انقلابی نے کہا کہ “یہ معاملہ فوری توجہ کا مستحق ہے، اور اگر بروقت کارروائی نہ کی گئی تو حالات مزید خراب ہو سکتے ہیں۔”

  • Administrative Vacuum Hits University Hard; PDP Leader Inqlabi Raises Alarm

    Administrative Vacuum Hits University Hard; PDP Leader Inqlabi Raises Alarm

    GNS ONLINE NEWS PORTAL

    RAJOURI AUGUST 29:-Senior PDP leader Mohammad Farooq Inqlabi has sounded the alarm over the deepening administrative crisis in the University, pointing to the prolonged absence of a full-time Registrar and Chief Accounts Officer (CAO), which has brought vital academic and administrative functions to a near standstill.

    Inqlabi noted that the post of Registrar has remained vacant for over six months, with an overburdened district-level officer holding the additional charge. Due to pressing responsibilities in the district administration, the official has been unable to dedicate adequate time or attention to University affairs.

    Similarly, the charge of Chief Accounts Officer lies with an officer from a separate engineering department, who is also unable to devote necessary focus to the financial and operational needs of the University.

    “The result is administrative stagnation,” Inqlabi said. “Students are suffering, staff are demoralized, and even routine matters are stuck in limbo. There is no accountability, no progress, and no vision being implemented—all due to the lack of permanent leadership.”

    He warned that the continued neglect of such an important institution poses a serious threat to the academic future of the region’s youth. “The University is not just a building—it is a symbol of aspiration and growth for thousands of students. Its systematic decline under the weight of administrative indifference is unacceptable.”

    Inqlabi appealed to the Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor to take immediate and personal notice of the situation. “It is imperative that a full-time Registrar and Chief Accounts Officer be posted without further delay to restore basic functionality and uphold the dignity of the institution,” he stated.

    He concluded by urging the administration to treat the issue as a top priority and act before the situation worsens further.

    Disbursement of Scholarships to ST-2 Students in J&K under ambit of TAD: Javed Rana

    JAMMU AUGUST 29:-Minister for Tribal Affairs, Javed Ahmed Rana, has reaffirmed the commitment of the Government of Jammu and Kashmir to ensure timely disbursement of scholarships to Scheduled Tribe (ST) students, particularly those categorized under ST-2, in full compliance with the established guidelines of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India.

    Reiterating that the disbursement of Pre-Matric and Post-Matric Scholarships to ST-2 students falls clearly within the mandate of the Tribal Affairs Department (TAD), the Minister stated that there can be no delay by any authority within the Department, except for the essential verification and de-duplication process mandated under central government guidelines.

    In this regard, the Minister has issued explicit directions to both the Secretary and the Director, Tribal Affairs, J&K, to ensure the immediate disbursement of all pending scholarships to eligible ST students, including ST-2 beneficiaries who had applied through the National Scholarship Portal (NSP).

    A spokesperson from the Directorate of Tribal Affairs, J&K, clarified that although the Hon’ble Minister had already issued clear instructions to extend all scholarship benefits to ST-2 students, a necessary de-duplication exercise was required to avoid duplicate disbursement of scholarships.

    This step was taken to ensure that ST-2 students who were earlier receiving scholarships through the Social Welfare Department are now included only under the Tribal Affairs Department, as per Government of India directives.

    The Directorate has since completed the de-duplication process in consultation with the Social Welfare Department, and received the necessary clarifications.

    Consequently, the entire process for disbursement of pending scholarships has been completed, and eligible ST-2 students are now receiving their entitled scholarships under the Tribal Affairs Department.

    The Directorate has also stated that any eligible ST student who has not received their scholarship may directly contact the Director, Tribal Affairs, J&K for prompt redressal and resolution of their case.

    Contractors Suffering Badly Due to Irresponsible Attitude of Engineer, Alleges Contractors Association

    GNS ONLINE NEWS PORTAL

    RAJOURI, AUGUST 29:=After the appointment of a new Junior Engineer (JE-Headquarter) in the Public Works Department, Rajouri Division, the entire online payment system has plunged into chaos. Owing to the negligence and irresponsible attitude of the said engineer, contractors have been suffering badly since February 2025.

    A spokesperson of the Pir Panjal Contractors Association stated that, despite completing their allotted works on time, many contractors have been unable to get their bills processed, as previous works have not been uploaded online by the concerned engineer. It is alleged that the delay is deliberate, with contractors being harassed and pressured to meet unfair demands before their bills are cleared.

    This attitude has caused widespread resentment among the contractors’ community, which is already under financial strain due to rising costs. The negligence of the engineer, they said, is not only stalling development works in Rajouri but also severely damaging the credibility of the Public Works Department.

    “It is pertinent to mention here that contractors play an important role in the development of the country, as they contribute significantly to the government treasury by paying a huge amount in taxes,” the spokesperson added.

    Meanwhile, the contractors’ community has appealed to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Works Minister Surinder Choudhary, along with the Chief Engineer and Deputy Commissioner Rajouri, to take serious note of the matter and ensure immediate redressal so that contractors receive their rightful payments without any harassment or delay.
