Like city, rural areas reel under darkness Srinagar, Dec 28: With a word of caution the Hurriyat Conference (G) Saturday stated that it will go through a religious ruling passed by Muslim scholars on re-marriage of the half widows and will come up with its observa- tion on the subject. “We will study the report keenly and only after that we can come up with our analysis over the issue. For now we cannot comment about the topic as the same is very subtle in nature,” said Ayaz Akbar, Chief Spokesman Huriyat (G). However, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq the chairman of the Huriyat Conference (M) welcomed the recent ruling issue by religious scholars saying the issue is very serious and that all the Jurists have passed the unanimous decision and it must be appreciated. “I as the Mirwaiz of Kashmir welcome the judgment and it is indeed a good step tak- en by the Ulemas here.” Dukhtaran-e-Milat Chair- person Asiya Andrabi has aidfferent opinion. She appealed the half-widows here not to generalize the issue and the same must be limited to the destitute women. “I believe that the half widows here must strive for whereabouts of their husbands and must carry forward the move- ment in unison. The wom- en who are destitute can re marry but the issue must not be generalized at any cost. ” Mass Movement Chairper- son Fareeda Behehji told KNS that the recent judg- ment passed by the Islamic Jurists must be respected but the decision must be left to the half widows whether they want to go for the remarriage or not. “No one can thrust any See Separatist on Pg. 11 Srinagar, Dec 28: Tightening its noose around those involved in food adul- teration, Srinagar Munici- pal Corporation Saturday seized a duplicate brand of famous Ghee and also took samples of various items for public analysis.

The team will be headed by Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Kupwara. He will submit the report in 15 days. Further action will be taken once the report comes,” Director Health Services, Kashmir, Sal- eem-ur-Rehman, told GNS Saturday. As reported earlier by Global News Service, the doctors at SDH, So- gam had left gauze in the abdomen of 41-year-old Hajra Begum of Ganai Mohalla, Lolab when she was operated at the hospital on June 20 last year. Hajra, who gave birth to a baby boy, had developed complications shortly after the doctors performed major sur- gery upon her. Her husband Ghulam Mohammad Ganai had taken her to the same hos- pital where the same doc- tor prescribed her some medicines and assured her that she will recover perfectly. However, her condition deteriorated. The couple again visited the hospital, where the doctors told them to con- duct USG test. After the USG test showed the presence of 'floating body' in her abdomen, the doctor advised Hajra to go for some more tests including HB, KFT, LFT and CT Scan. "After examining the re- ports, the doctor at the SDH Sogam said that there was nothing ab- normal in them. He pre- scribed some injections saying it will cure the patient very soon. How- ever, instead of brining some relief, the injection caused more pain and ir- ritation to my wife," Ga- nai had told GNS. Hajra was taken to dis- trict hospital Kupwara by her husband. The doctors had referred her to Sri- nagar’s SMHS hospital, where she was operated upon. The doctors at the SMHS had recovered for- eign body during the sur- gery. The samples were then sent to the department of pathology, Government Medical College (GMC) Srinagar for investiga- tions. In its report, a copy of which lies with, the pa- thology department said that "the samples con- tained infection collec- tion of around 3.700 kg be- sides a gauze measuring 10x2 cm."
