Jammu/ Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday said that youth have immense potential to take the society and the nation towards the future.
He stressed the need to pay special attention to preparing balanced minds and bold innovators for sustainable development.
“Empowered youth are the builders of the future and I believe that intellectual depth, creative power and innovative leadership of youth are essential for national development,” said the Lieutenant Governor while addressing the inaugural ceremony of the unique youth festival ‘Gonj 2026’ held at Jammu University today.
The two-day event will provide a unique platform to youth from different fields of education to shape a common future. This festival will invigorate the mind, energize the body and nurture innovation.
The Lieutenant Governor said that when the youth ignite the spark of courage within themselves and move forward with firm conviction, new paths open up for the society and the nation.
He encouraged the students to adopt inventions, conduct new research, conduct bold experiments and open the doors of nation building.
The police station is registered in the CIK. The case includes sections 121, 121-A, 153-A, 153-B of the Ranbir Penal Code along with relevant sections of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and the E&IMCO Act.
The Additional Sessions Judge (Special Court), Srinagar, after hearing the position of the prosecution and the investigating officer and perusing the case record, ordered the issuance of non-bailable warrants against the four accused. The court held that the charges were serious in nature and related to war against the state and matters related to national security, hence custodial interrogation of the accused is necessary.
According to the statement, the case was registered on April 5, 1996, after receiving credible information that elements abroad were indoctrinating Kashmiri youth for military training. During the investigation, evidence related to alleged militancy, recruitment and other illegal activities was collected.
The CIK said that despite continuous efforts, the accused remained absconding and evading arrest. The agency termed this move as a manifestation of its determination to take terrorism-related cases to their logical conclusion and ensure the rule of law.
