Demand for Kashmir’s Nadru increasing: PM Modi

In his monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi noted the the rising demand for lotus stems in Kashmir, or as locally called ‘Nadru’.

“Whenever we talk about Kashmir or Srinagar, the pictures of the mountains and Dal jheel come in front of us. We all want to enjoy the scenic beauty, but there is one more speciality attached to it. Dal jheel is also known for its delicious Lotus stems. They are known by different names in the country, and in Kashmir, they are referred to as ‘Nadru’,” he said.

He added said that looking at the rising demand for Nadru, the farmers have created a Farmers Producer Organisation (FPO), and 250 farmers have become a part of it.

“Today, the farmers are able to export the FPOs to foreign countries. Recently, they sent two sets to UAE. This is not just taking up the name of Kashmir, but also increasing the income of the farmers,” he said.

PM Modi also talked about the farmers who have shifted towards growing lavender and the benefits they are receiving through the government’s Aroma scheme.

“Another effort by the Kashmiri farmers is spreading the fragrance of its success. Actually, there is a small town Bhadarwah, in the Doda district of Jammu & Kashmir. The farmers there traditionally used to grow maize, but some farmers decided to do something innovative. They shifted towards floriculture. Under this, around 2,500 farmers are growing lavender. They have also benefitted from the Aroma scheme of the government. This has increased their income several times. And today, along with the lavender, the fragrance of their success is also spreading,” he added.

Pet parrot’s ‘testimony’ sends two to jail for murder

Neelam Sharma was murdered in her own home in February 2014, and had her home robbed in Agra. Years later, the court has sentenced two for life imprisonment. Courtesy, a pet parrot’s ‘testimony’.

The police had found no leads until Sharma’s pet parrot began screaming the name of her nephew, reported a National media.

Her husband, Vijay Sharma became suspicious after hearing the parrot’s cries and requested the police to question the nephew. The nephew, Ashu, confessed to murdering Neelam with the help of his friend Ronnie Massey.

Today, nine years after the murder, Special Judge Mohammad Rashid sentenced both the accused – Ashu and Ronnie – to life imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 72,000 based on Ashu’s confession and subsequent evidence.

According to information obtained by a news portal, Vijay Sharma left his home on February 20, 2014, to attend a wedding in Firozabad with his son Rajesh and daughter Nivedita.

Neelam stayed home. When Vijay returned late at night, he was surprised to find the bodies of his wife and pet dog. The two were killed with a sharp object. After informing the police, some suspects were caught.

Vijay Sharma’s pet parrot, on the other hand, stopped eating and drinking and went silent. Sharma suspected that the parrot may have witnessed the murder.

When he began naming the suspects one by one in front of the parrot, the bird was horrified by Ashu’s name and began screaming “Ashu-Ashu.” Even in front of the police, when the parrot had the same reaction to Ashu’s name, he was arrested. This was also mentioned by the police during their investigation.

Nivedita Sharma, Neelam Sharma’s daughter, told a National media agency that Ashu used to come and go to the house and even stayed for many years.

Referring to women in politics, the prime minister said, “If you look at politics, a new beginning has taken place in Nagaland. In Nagaland, for the first time in 75 years, two women legislators have reached the Vidhan Sabha through their victory. One of them has also been made a minister in the Government of Nagaland, that is, for the first time the people of the state have also got a woman minister.”

PM Modi also mentioned women members of the NDRF contingent, which had gone for relief and rehabilitation work in quake-hit Turkey.
