MAHJOOR: The Herald Of Didactic Poetry

Peerzada Ghulam Ahmad ( 3 September 1885 − 9 April 1952), better known by the pen name Mahjoor was a renowned poet of the J&K Kashmir Valley, along with contemporaries. He is especially noted for introducing a new style into Kashmiri poetry and for expanding Kashmiri poetry into previously unexplored thematic realms. In addition to his poems in Kashmiri, Mahjoor is also noted for his poetic compositions in Persian and Urdu. The revolutionary poet Mehjoor also known as Shair-e-Kashmir (the poet of Kashmir) was born at Mitrigam, Pulwama, which is located approximately 37 km from the city of Srinagar.

Gusoo Residents Appeal Centre to Halt Railway Project, Warn of Ecological and Livelihood Crisis

Shopian villagers say proposed rail alignment threatens decades-old apple orchards, local employment, and Kashmir’s fragile environment Syrier Dar: Shopian, Kashmir: Residents of Gusoo area in south Kashmir’s Shopian district have appealed to the Central Government to halt the ongoing railway line project, expressing serious concerns over its ecological, environmental, and employment-related implications. The villagers say the proposed alignment threatens to uproot vast stretches of apple orchards—the backbone of the local economy—and could irreversibly damage both livelihoods and the fragile ecosystem of the region. Gusoo is a predominantly horticulture-dependent area, where apple cultivation has been nurtured over generations. For the local population, apple orchards are not merely agricultural assets but a lifeline that sustains hundreds of families directly and indirectly. According to residents, the railway project would require large-scale cutting of apple trees, many of which ar...

World News in the Last 24 Hours — Global Roundup

Over the past 24 hours, several major developments unfolded around the world, ranging from geopolitical shifts and ongoing conflicts to international diplomacy and economic indicators. These events reflect the complexity of global affairs in early 2026, with enduring tensions in conflict zones, shifting alliances in international institutions, social unrest, and evolving economic conditions.

According to reports, the decision includes exiting key forums that deal with climate change, peacebuilding, and global democracy initiatives, raising concerns among allies about Washington’s long-term commitment to international norms and shared multilateral action. Al Ja...
