Hamirpur (Uttar Pradesh), March 12 (ANI): Nestled in the Bundelkhand region of Hamirpur, the district is known for its fertile plains and hardworking farming communities. Blessed with rivers like the Yamuna River and the Betwa River, the region is now witnessing the remarkable revival of the Chandrawal River. Originating in Mahoba, the Chandrawal River flows nearly 68 kilometres through Hamirpur district, from Gram Panchayat Guda to Gram Panchayat Kaithi, before entering Banda where it ultimately merges with the Ken River. Once reduced to a polluted drain, the river has now been transformed into a symbol of environmental renewal. The revival was carried out under Mission Jalodaya and the Namami Gange Programme with active participation from local communities. The district administration divided the river into 19 sections, carried out desilting, removed waste, monitored industrial discharge, and ensured strict water quality testing. After months of dedicated work, the Chandrawal River was successfully rejuvenated in December 2025. Today it flows clean and vibrant, bringing life to more than two dozen villages. For farmers, the river has become a lifeline—providing irrigation water, enriching soil fertility, and boosting crop production. With community participation, ghat beautification, and large-scale plantation along the banks, the Chandrawal River now stands as a powerful example of sustainable development and collective action.

PoGB, 11 March 2026: Tension continues in Pakistan-occupied Gilgit-Baltistan, where a recently imposed strict curfew and heavy deployment of security forces disrupted normal life. Authorities had handed control of several areas to security personnel in an attempt to contain unrest following the death of Iranian Leader Ayatollah Khomeini, leaving residents struggling to access essential goods and services. Although restrictions are now partially eased, the situation in the region remains tense. Daily wage labourers have been among the worst affected, as many rely on daily earnings to support their families. During the strict curfew, residents also expressed frustration over the closure of markets and the difficulty in accessing essential supplies. The developments once again raised concerns about the governance of illegally occupied regions in Pakistan. Instead of addressing public concerns, the imposition of curfew and heavy security presence restricted movement and disrupted livelihoods, leaving residents struggling to manage daily necessities. Pakistan often fails to adequately address the concerns of ordinary citizens, particularly in the illegally occupied regions of Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) and Pakistan-occupied Gilgit-Baltistan. Instead of addressing public grievances through dialogue and development, authorities often rely on administrative crackdowns. As a result, locals often feel that their basic needs and rights are overlooked, deepening frustration and highlighting long-standing governance challenges in these regions.

Health department employees in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir staged a strike at the Abbas Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) in Muzaffarabad to press the government for acceptance of their long-pending demands. Due to the protest, outpatient department (OPD) services were temporarily closed, causing inconvenience to patients and hospital visitors. Protesters gathered inside and outside the hospital premises, raising slogans and demanding immediate action on their Charter of Demands, which they say has remained unresolved despite repeated assurances from authorities. The protesters maintained that their demands are clear and need immediate implementation rather than prolonged deliberation. They voiced frustration that despite the passage of nearly a month, the government has taken no concrete steps. The protest has once again exposed what employees describe as deep governance failures and a persistent pattern of delayed decision-making in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Despite formal meetings, verbal commitments, and negotiated agreements, implementation on the ground remains stalled, reflecting weak administrative follow-through and institutional inefficiency.
