J&K imposes odd-even rule in Gulmarg to ease traffic pressure SRINAGAR: The J&K govt Tuesday announced an odd-even traffic system in famous tourist destination Gulmarg to reduce congestion and ease pressure on the hill resort that has a parking capacity for about 1,500 vehicles but has been receiving more than 6,000 vehicles a day.Officials said it is the first time such traffic restrictions have been introduced at any tourist destination in Jammu and Kashmir.Officials said traffic violations have also become a growing concern at the hill station. They said some visitors have ignored regulations, and last week authorities fined a driver Rs 50,000 after his vehicle was seen driving on the Gulmarg Golf Course.Tariq Hussain, chief executive officer of the Gulmarg Development Authority (GDA), said the restrictions will take effect on July 5. Under the order, entry of all four-wheeled vehicles into Gulmarg will be regulated according to the last digit of their registration number. Hussain said vehicles with registration numbers ending in odd digits will be allowed to enter only on odd-numbered calendar days, while those ending in even digits will be allowed only on even-numbered days.The restrictions will remain in force from 8 am to 8 pm each day.For the time being, he said, freight and goods vehicles will be exempt.Hussain said the measure will be implemented on a trial basis for one month, from July 5 through Aug 5. Authorities will assess its impact on traffic management, environmental conditions and visitor convenience in coordination with the police, traffic authorities and other departments before deciding whether to continue the system.The GDA order justifies the regulations stating that the unprecedented increase in vehicular traffic entering Gulmarg has resulted in congestion, deterioration of ambient air quality, excessive noise levels pressure on limited road infrastructure, obstruction to emergency services, degradation of public spaces and adverse impacts on the fragile alpine ecosystem and visitor experience.It said that a comprehensive meeting in this regard was held with all the departments concerned on June 23 wherein it was suggested that vehicular traffic need to be restricted in the Gulmarg area.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Kashmir camel seized over Eid ‘slaughter’ claim, owner hoofs it to court SRINAGAR: A camel seized by Srinagar authorities on suspicion it would be slaughtered ahead of Eid al-Adha in May has become the centre of a legal dispute, with the owner alleging unlawful confiscation and saying it was not meant to be killed but was purchased for rides and photos at a tourist resort.The camel is now the most unusual denizen at Srinagar’s Municipal Corporation’s (SMC) veterinary complex in Tengpora area, jostling for space with 300 animals, including a cow, two donkeys, dogs and 60 cats, among them Persian cats abandoned by owners. Nearly everyone who walks through the gates stops to look at the one-humped animal and asks how the two-year-old ended up there.Dawood Ahmad Shah is a big reason why the camel is where it is. The animal rights activist spotted a social media post indicating the camel would be slaughtered on Eid. Shah, who runs Animal Rescue Kashmir, said he alerted officials and said their intervention led to its “rescue” from Budgam, around 30km from Srinagar.“Camel slaughter has long been taking place in Kashmir. This year, several videos surfaced. We filed complaints with SMC. Raids were conducted at several places. We were able to rescue only one camel from Khan Sahab area of Budgam,” Shah said.Ghulam Rasool Bhat, the camel’s owner, contests the claims and demands that SMC return it to him. According to Bhat, he had purchased the camel from a dealer in Jammu for Rs 1.2 lakh, borrowing much of the sum. He said he planned to keep it at Budgam’s Doodhpathri tourist resort, where it would be used for taking visitors on rides and taking photos with them.“It took us time initially to understand who had taken it. Then the police said they had seized it. Now it is with SMC. We have now moved court seeking the camel’s release. The court has sought reports from the police and SMC but they have not done so yet,” Bhat said.While Shah maintains that camels are routinely brought to Kashmir for slaughter and calls for legal protections like those in Rajasthan, Bhat insists he never intended to kill the animal. “We are surprised the animal was taken away from us. Is bringing a camel to Kashmir prohibited? If camels can be kept in Jammu, why not here?” Bhat asked.Get the latest India news and live updates.
