“The accused were also engaged in radicalising, motivating and instigating vulnerable youth to join TRF or LeT and other terror outfits in Kashmir.

“Besides arms and ammunition, NIA investigators had recovered several incriminating materials, including chats about terror funds, from the mobile phones of the accused persons,” the agency said.

The NIA has established that the accused had been carrying out terrorist activities for a long time, thereby threatening the security, integrity and sovereignty of India, it added.

The agency had taken over the case initially registered by the Chanapora police station in May 2022 and re-registered it at the NIA’s Jammu branch office on June 18, 2022.

The NIA intends to intensify its efforts to dismantle all terror networks and demolish their support infrastructure by attaching and seizing their properties in the coming days, the statement said.

schemes and programmes that can support the intervention, funding sources, mitigation potential, indicators and measure outcomes are indicated.

The sectoral action plan focuses on power, energy and habitat sector, sustainable transport, agriculture and green spaces, and waste management as the key sectors for Srinagar city. The resilience interventions included in the action plan are informed by the baseline sectoral GHG emissions and identified climate vulnerabilities.

The team recommended a number of suggestions to save the city from Nature’s wrath. The key intervention that needs to be taken, according to the researchers, include scaling up Renewable Energy (RE) generation by promoting rooftop and ground mounted installations of solar power plants (SPP) at households, institutions, government buildings, commercial buildings etc in the city.

It also suggested encouraging faster penetration of the Street Lighting National Programme (SLNP) and UJALA Scheme (Domestic Efficient Lighting Program), that will ensure all lighting fixtures are replaced with energy-efficient LED bulbs, tube lights and fans at domestic, public buildings and streetlights.

The report also recommended replacing Diesel gensets in residential, commercial, institutional sectors with solar powered or other storage options.

It further says that the government needs wide-scale adoption of Electric Vehicles (EV) by increasing share in private passenger vehicles (cars and 2 wheelers), public transport (buses, mini-buses), intermediate public transport (3 wheelers, e-rickshaws), delivery service fleets, vehicle fleets owned by government departments etc:

“Establish widespread EV charging infrastructure (at strategic locations such as commercial hubs, public parking, airport, railway station etc.) free/subsidized parking spaces,” the report suggested.

The report further noted that a strong Public transport (PT) and Intermediate Public Transport (IPT) network in the city would discourage use of private vehicles and help curb Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and traffic congestion. It focused on enhancing green cover by increasing trees outside forest and green spaces through measures such as setting up of urban parks, floating gardens etc.

“These steps will reduce GHG emissions, improve air quality, reduce traffic congestion and improve public health,” the experts recommended.
