Gund ( Kangan), Dec 28: Assistance rendered to stranded tourists by locals in Gund has won the praise of people. Over the years Kashmiri people are known for hospitality and brotherhood and the same was showcased on Friday when the heavy snowfall closed the roads for hundreds of tourists who were on a visit to famous tourist destination of Sonamarg in Ganderbal district. The help and assistance to the tourists stranded amid the snowfall by local Muslims painted a portrait of communal peace and Kashmir’s old syncretic ethos. These qualities, with which Kashmiri people have always been identified, have created a special place for them, in the hearts of tourists visiting Jammu and Kashmir. Heavy snowfall on Friday evening brought normal life to a standstill in Kashmir, and left hundreds of tourists stranded in between the Kangan and Sonamarg tourist destinations due to the slippery roads. With road conditions worsening and vehicles slipping on the snow, the visitors found themselves with no way to continue their journey leaving hundreds of tourists trapped in the area. The local residents of tehsil Gund in the Ganderbal district, particularly areas like Gund, Kullan, Rayil, Gagangir, Sonamarg, Haknar and HariGaniwan , stepped forward to offer crucial help to stranded tourists. With the Jammu and Kashmir policemen seen extending a helping hand to the stranded tourists in the face of these challenges, local communities including Civil Society Tehsil Gund members , Jamia Auqaf committees, volunteers demonstrated extraordinary hospitality, with many opening their homes to the stranded tourists, providing them with warmth, shelter, and food. The stranded tourists were also provided accommodation in Jamia Masjid Gund by the local committee. Apart from providing accommodation, the local residents came on roads serving stranded tourists with warm water, tea and rice. Many Kashmiri families were seen serving tea and water along the road from Gagengar to Hariganiwan. “They are our guests and it is our responsibility to make sure they don’t face any inconvenience, “ Mehraj ud din Khan, a local resident told Greater Kashmir . The gesture shown by the local Kashmiri people to the tourists has won praise from people across the country. The tourists, while praising the hospitality and warmth shown by the people here said that they were touched by the hospitality and help from the people during their tough times while being stuck amid the snow . “The kindness of the locals was heartwarming, we won’t ever forget this in our life, “said a tourist from Maharashtra. “When our vehicle got stuck, we had nowhere to go, but the local people at Gund invited us to their homes. Their generosity in such difficult conditions will stay with us forever,”a tourist from Malaysia told Greater Kashmir . “The people of Kashmir are incredibly kind and this has been an unforgettable experience and memory for us,” said another tourist family. In addition to the local residents’ efforts, police , SDRF, civil administration and army teams also played a crucial role in assisting stranded tourists and residents. They provided food and facilitated medical assistance for those in need, showcasing a united front in the face of adversity. Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq praised the gesture and said it was heartwarming to see Kashmiris open their mosques and homes to stranded tourists amidst heavy snowfall. “This gesture of warmth and humanity reflects our longstanding tradition of hospitality and helping others in times of need,” he said on X. Various social, religious, political organizations and people from different sections of society have hailed the efforts of the local civil society members and youth .Stock market today: Wall Street inches higher to set more records
Scottish artist Jasleen Kaur has won the Turner Prize for her solo exhibition Alter Altar, which includes an installation of a car with a giant doily on it. Happy Valley actor James Norton announced the winner in a ceremony held at Tate Britain on Tuesday evening. The five jury members chose Kaur for “her ability to gather different voices through unexpected and playful combinations of material, from Irn-Bru to family photographs and a vintage Ford Escort, locating moments of resilience and possibility”. Kaur, who was born in Glasgow but lives and works in London, used her speech to advocate for the people in Palestine. The 38-year-old said she wanted to “echo the calls of the protesters outside” who had gathered after an open letter urged the Tate to cut ties with “organisations complicit in what the UN and ICJ are finally getting closer to saying is a genocide of the Palestinian people”. “This is not a radical demand,” Kaur said on stage. “This should not risk an artist’s career or safety. We’re trying to build consensus that the ties to these organisations are unethical, just as artists did with Sackler,” she said, referencing the family linked to the opioid epidemic. “I’ve been wondering why artists are required to dream up liberation in the gallery but when that dream meets life we are shut down. “I want the separation between the expression of politics in the gallery and the practice of politics in life to disappear. “I want the institution to understand that if you want us inside, you need to listen to us outside.” Kaur concluded her speech by calling for a ceasefire, adding: “Free Palestine.” BBC reporter Katie Razzall had to apologise to viewers after Kaur used a swear word in her speech. The artist was nominated for an exhibition that was held at the Tramway in her home city last year. The display, a series of installations exploring religious identities, politics and history, makes heavy use of different sounds, embedded into the exhibition by way of worship bells, Sufi Islamic devotional music, Indian harmonium, and pop tracks. This year the arts prize, named after British painter JMW Turner, which awards £25,000 to its winner, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Established in 1984, the prize is awarded each year to a British artist for an outstanding exhibition or other presentation of their work. Previous recipients include sculptor Sir Anish Kapoor (1991), artist Damien Hirst (1995), and filmmaker Sir Steve McQueen (1999). In 2025, the prize will be presented in Bradford at Cartwright Hall art gallery, marking the 250th anniversary of Turner’s birth. The exhibition of the four shortlisted artists – Pio Abad, Claudette Johnson, Delaine Le Bas, and Kaur – is at Tate Britain until February 16 2025.Shares of Joby Aviation, Inc.

Already an avid fan of NFL football and a skilled enough golfer to compete in LPGA pro-am tournaments, reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark is reportedly interested in dipping her sneakers into another sport that isn't basketball. According to ESPN , the Indiana Fever All-Star point guard is part of an ownership group trying to bring a National Women's Soccer League expansion team to Cincinnati. More news : 76ers News: Joel Embiid, Paul George 'Furious' Someone Leaked Team Meeting Info "The NWSL Cincinnati bid team is thrilled that Caitlin Clark has joined our ownership group in pursuit of bringing a women's professional soccer team to our city," a rep from the ownership group, which also represents MLS team FC Cincinnati, told The Worldwide Leader. "Her passion for the sport, commitment to elevating women's sports in and around the Greater Cincinnati region, and influence as an athlete and role model for women and girls around the world, make her a vital part of our compelling bid to become the 16th team in the NWSL." In addition to the Cincinnati group, NWSL bidders are also attempting to attract an expansion team to cities including Cleveland, Denver, Nashville, and Philadelphia. The new club would hit the pitch in 2026 and, along with a previously announced expansion team that was awarded to Boston, grow the NWSL to 16 teams. Speaking to the media ahead of the NWSL's championship match, league commissioner Jessica Berman confirmed Cincinnati was a finalist in the bidding process for her league's 16th team. She also confirmed Clark was involved. "Her accomplishments and contributions to women's sports is incredible, historic. It's changed the game for everyone, and she's amazing," Berman said of the 22-year-old hooper. "Having her interest in the NWSL is an honor. We couldn't be more excited about her having shared her own personal story about having been a young soccer player and loving the game." More news: Caitlin Clark Apologizes After Striking Spectator With Ball at Pro-AM "Her messaging around being a multi-sport athlete is so important for young kids who aspire to be just like her, and the future is bright for how we could potentially work with her or others who are influencers and interested in engaging and growing our league." The NWSL's championship match will take place tomorrow when the Orlando Pride takes on the Washington Spirit. If Clark wants to cement her team's bid and bring an NWSL team to Cincy, it might be a good idea for her to be in attendance. For the latest WNBA news, be sure to check out Newsweek Sports .
