Twenty unexploded ordnances found in JK's Baramulla
Baramulla (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], May 12 (ANI): Amidst the ongoing standoff between India and Pakistan following the cessation of hostilities aunderstanding, the Baramulla police have been informed about the presence of twenty unexploded ordnances (UXOs) in 17 villages across the district, according to a statement. Consequent to the safe disposal, the district administration has permitted the evacuees from six villages out of 17 to return to their homes. 'Baramulla Police has been intimated about the presence of 20 unexploded ordnances (UXOs) in 17 villages across the district. Consequent to their safe disposal, District administration has permitted evacuees from these the 6 villages to return,' Baramulla Police said in their official statement. The Indian Armed Forces conducted several strikes at the nine major terror camps associated with Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) under the name of Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7. Five of the nine terror camps were located in PoK, and the other four in Pakistan. Among the destroyed camps in Pakistan, two of those, Muridke and Bhawalpur stand out more, as they not only serve as residences for major commanders but also serve as epicentres for radicalisation and various training courses on intelligence and arms handling for Laskar as well as Jaish-e-Mohammad. Among the key terror operatives eliminated in the operation was Rauf Azhar the brother-in-law of Maulana Masood Azhar the Jaish Chief. Rauf Azhar a proscribed terrorist is wanted for his part in the conspiracy to hijack IC-814. Meanwhile, the Indian armed forces conducted a joint press briefing in New Delhi on Sunday which consisted of Lieutenant General Rajeev Ghai (Director General Military Operations), Vice Admiral A N Pramod (Director General Naval Operations), and Air Marshal A K Bharti (Director General Air Operations). They confirmed that India has struck 11 airbases in Pakistan and inflicted significant damage on their military capabilities. The officials jointly announced the success of 'Operation Sindoor' -- a cross-border counter-terror operation aimed at neutralising terror infrastructure inside Pakistan. The operation also eliminated over 100 terrorists. The air, land and sea operations were carried out with calibrated restraint, emphasising minimising civilian casualties. This development comes in the light of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following India's recent military operation, Operation Sindoor, which targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22 which claimed 26 lives. India's military operation involved precision strikes on nine sites identified as terrorist infrastructure, including militant camps in Muzaffarabad, Kotli, and Bahawalpur. (ANI)

Was mother of Shaurya Chakra awardee ordered to be deported? The story of Shameema Akhtar
Shameema Akhtar, the mother of Shaurya Chakra awardee Mudasir Ahmad Sheikh, was taken aback when her name appeared among a group of Pakistani citizens listed for deportation after the Pahalgam terror attack, her family claimed. However, J&K Police set the record straight and called the reports 'fake and baseless'. Akhtar has lived in India for over four decades read more Shameema Akhtar, the mother of Shaurya Chakra awardee Mudasir Ahmad Sheikh, came to Kashmir more than 40 years ago. Her name initially appeared among a group of Pakistani citizens listed for deportation. However, officials dismissed it as a 'false and baseless' rumour. Image for Representation. AFP She lost her son in the line of duty, received the Shaurya Chakra in his honour from the President of India, and yet, her name unexpectedly surfaced in a swirl of deportation rumours. Shameema Akhtar, the mother of Shaurya Chakra awardee Mudasir Ahmad Sheikh, was taken aback when her name appeared among a group of Pakistani citizens listed for deportation. The claim had caused widespread outrage and confusion until Baramulla Police stepped in to set the record straight. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Officials dismissed the rumours as 'false and baseless', assuring that Akhtar was not among those being repatriated. The clarification came just days after the tragic Pahalgam terror attack, following which Jammu and Kashmir authorities ferried 59 Pakistani nationals to Punjab for their repatriation to their country of origin. But how did Shameema Akhtar get caught up in the chaos? Who is she? Here's a closer look at her journey. Who is Shameema Akhtar? Shameema Akhtar came to Kashmir more than 40 years ago. Her father had migrated to Pakistan during the partition and started a new life there. Years later, after his wife passed away, he returned to India with his daughter. He chose to spend the rest of his life in Kashmir and was eventually laid to rest there too, said Shameema's brother-in-law Mohammad Younus Sheikh while speaking to The Indian Express. In Kashmir, Shameema settled down and married Mohammad Maqsood, who would later retire from the police force. This was before militancy took hold in Jammu and Kashmir in the 1990s. Their son, Constable Mudasir Ahmad Sheikh, followed in his father's footsteps and joined the Jammu and Kashmir Police, working with the Special Operations Group. In May 2022, during an encounter with foreign militants in Baramulla, Mudasir was killed in the line of duty. He was credited with helping to foil a planned terror attack on the Amarnath Yatra. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD For his bravery, he was posthumously awarded the Shaurya Chakra — India's third-highest peacetime gallantry award. In his memory, Baramulla's main town square was renamed 'Shaheed Mudasir Chowk.' The family's loss and sacrifice were acknowledged at the highest levels, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir visiting them to pay tribute. In May 2023, Shameema, accompanied by her husband, received the award from President Droupadi Murmu in Delhi. In May 2023, Shameema, accompanied by her husband, received Shaurya Chakra — India's third-highest peacetime gallantry award, from President Droupadi Murmu in Delhi. Image courtesy: PIB Was Shameema on the verge of deportation? According to her son Nasir Maqsood, Shameema Akhtar's name did appear on an initial list of individuals marked for deportation. However, she was later informed she could stay. 'The SHO of our area came to our house in the evening stating that her name was amongst the list of people that have been asked to leave, but I have been informed today that her deportation has been put on hold,' Maqsood told The Indian Express. 'My brother made the supreme sacrifice for the country, how can my mother be asked to leave?' he asked.

AFP Amid growing concern, the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Tuesday also issued a statement clarifying that 65-year-old Shameema Akhtar would not be deported, and dismissed the rumours circulating online. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Reports circulating on social media regarding the alleged repatriation of the mother of Shaheed Constable Mudasir Ahmad are false, baseless, and categorically denied,' the Baramulla Police said. They also urged media and the public to avoid spreading misinformation. Shameema's brother-in-law, Mohammad Younus, also confirmed that she had returned home after not being taken for deportation. 'We are thankful to the Government of India,' he said. The confusion around Shameema's name came as the government launched a wider deportation drive following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 26 people. As part of its response, the Centre suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, downgraded diplomatic ties with Pakistan, and ordered Pakistani nationals to leave India by April 27. Authorities have since confirmed that 60 individuals, mostly wives and children of former militants who returned under the 2010 rehabilitation policy, have been selected for deportation. These individuals were picked up from multiple districts, including Srinagar (36), Baramulla (9), Kupwara (9), Budgam (4), and Shopian (2), and have been moved to Punjab for repatriation through the Wagah border.

Mother of Shaurya Chakra awardee Mudasir Ahmad not being deported to Pakistan, Baramulla Police clarifies
Shameema Akhtar, the mother of Constable Mudasir Ahmad Sheikh, who died in May 2022 while fighting terrorists, will not be deported to Pakistan, Baramulla Police has clarified. Days after the tragic Pahalgam attack, Jammu and Kashmir authorities have transported 59 Pakistani nationals to Punjab for their repatriation to their country of origin, Srinagar officials informed. Baramulla Police issued a clarification saying, 'Reports circulating on social media regarding the alleged repatriation of mother of martyr Constable Mudasir Ahmad @ Bindaas are false, baseless, and categorically denied' In a carefully worded clarification, Shameema's brother-in-law Mohammad Younus said martyr Mudasir's mother has returned home as she was not taken for deportation. "We are thankful to the Government of India," Younus said. Earlier, Mudasir's uncle had told reporters that his sister-in-law belonged to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and, as such, she should not have been deported. "My sister-in-law is from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, which is our territory. Only Pakistanis should have been deported," Younus said. After Mudasir's death, Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited the family, and so did the Lieutenant Governor, twice, he said. "My bhabhi was 20 years old when she came here and has been living here for 45 years now. My appeal to (PM Narendra) Modi and Amit Shah is that they should not do it," Younus said. Shameema had married Mohammad Maqsood, now a retired police officer, before the eruption of militancy in Jammu and Kashmir in 1990. Shameema, accompanied by her husband, received the Shaurya Chakra from President Droupadi Murmu in Delhi in May 2023. The main Baramulla town square has been named Shaheed Mudasir Chowk in memory of the policeman. According to the citation for Sheikh, he was awarded the third-highest gallantry award posthumously in 2022 for his role in thwarting a major terrorist plot targeting the Amarnath Yatra. In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack last week, the Centre announced a slew of measures, including suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, downgrading diplomatic relations with Islamabad, and ordering all Pakistanis on short-term visas to leave India by April 27 or face action. The 59 deportees include the wives and children of ex-militants, who returned to the valley under the 2010 rehabilitation policy for former ultras. Of them, 36 had been living in Srinagar, nine each in Kupwara, eight in Baramulla, four in Budgam, and two in Shopian district, officials said. First Published: 29 Apr 2025, 11:00 PM IST
