“There is no failure except in no longer trying”
A few days back Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) announced results and most of the students who had written their examinations emerged successful with flying colours. They got distinctions – even many more got 500 out of 500. Literally speaking, it needs burning of midnight oil to score 470 or above. Verily, it is not everyone’s cup of tea, all it needs dedication, hard work and consistency.

On the morning of February 5, Jammu and Kashmir police arrested a 21-year-old man at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport. Deported from Qatar, he was identified as Muneeb Ahmad Sofi from Bijbehara area of Kashmir’s Anantnag district. A police press release described him as an overground worker of the banned militant organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed – a charge his family denies.
Since 2017, many Kashmiris, believed to have been sympathisers of global terror group Islamic State or inclined towards joining it, have been deported to India. The National Investigation Agency arrested them and later handed them over to the Jammu and Kashmir police for further investigations.
