Qatar tribune Agencies New Delhi Ride hailing app Uber has launched Asia’s first water transport service in India’s Jammu and Kashmir. Named ‘Uber Shikara’, the service was launched on the picturesque Dal Lake, a local touristattraction. The service was launched by Prabhjeet Singh, President of Uber India and South Asia, who booked the inaugural shikara ride via the app. “Uber Shikara is our humble attempt to blend technology and tradition, enhancing accessibility and uplifting tourism in the breathtaking landscape of Kashmir,” Singh stated. An Uber spokesperson said this service marks a significant milestone for the company, as it is the first water transport offering in Asia, following similar services in select European countries like Venice, Italy. Initially, Uber has partnered with seven local shikara owners, with plans to expand the fleet based on user demand. Rides will be available at government-regulated rates, ensuring fair pricing for tourists. The seven shikaras are stationed at Nehru Park, an island park located in the heart of Dal Lake. Importantly, Uber will not charge any fees to its shikara partners, ensuring that the full fare goes directly to the boat operators, the company officials said. Ruchika Tomar, Director of Communications at Uber, expressed her excitement about the launch, emphasising the importance of shikara rides for both local and international tourists. “Anyone who comes to Srinagar must experience a shikara ride, which is a timeless activity on every traveller’s bucket list. Our service brings together the magic of technology and Kashmir’s traditional charm, providing a seamless experience for travellers,”she said. Wali Mohammed Bhat, President of the Shikarawala Association, highlighted the benefits of this initiative for both tourists and shikara operators. “With Uber Shikara, tourists will no longer need to bargain, and they will enjoy standardised pricing. The shikara riders are happy with this development, as it will enhance their livelihoods,” Bhat remarked. Kunanidi Mahanta from Odisha echoed similar sentiments, noting that the convenience of online booking is a significant advantage for tourists. “This service will not only make it easier for visitors to book rides ahead of time but will also provide a reliable source of income for shikara riders,” Mahanta said. Each Uber Shikara ride can accommodate up to four passengers and is available for one-hour bookings daily between 10 am and 5 pm. Rides can be scheduled from 12 hours up to 15 days in advance. Bhat anticipates an increase in participation from local shikara owners, stating, “With around 4,000 shikaras operating in Dal Lake, we expect more operators to join Uber, enhancing the overall experience for tourists while boosting business for shikara operators.” Uber has previously established its presence in Srinagar with cab services, and now, with the introduction of Uber Shikara, it aims to revolutionise the way tourists experience the enchanting waters of Dal Lake. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha congratulated all stakeholders of the tourism sector in Jammu and Kashmir on the launch of the service, describing it as a testament to the creative ways technology can enhance cultural heritage. “The launch of Uber Shikara services will provide visitors with a seamless way to experience the timeless charm of Shikara rides,” the LG said in a post on X on Monday evening. Commending Uber for its futuristic vision, he reiterated that the Uber Shikara in Srinagar reflects innovative methods of blending technology with cultural heritage. “The launch of Uber Shikara in Srinagar is a testament to the creative ways technology can enhance our cultural heritage,” he said. I commend Uber for their futuristic vision,enabling convenient access to serene experiences while boosting local tourism.

Sinha said that this offering, in the upcoming tourist season, will provide visitors with a seamless way to experience the timeless charm of Shikara rides, a hallmark of J&K’s beauty. “I commend Uber for its futuristic vision, enabling convenient access to serene experiences while boosting local tourism,” he added. The LG further stated, “Together, we are showcasing the splendor of the crown of India to the world.

TRAVERSE CITY — Mother Nature made her presence known this week with heavy snowfall causing cancellations, road closures and flight delays. On Wednesday, an Alberta Clipper swept through West Michigan, dumping about 7 inches of snow in the Traverse City area. The region has already received a higher than normal amount of snowfall this season. As of 7 a.m. Thursday, Traverse City had recorded a total of nearly 30 inches of snow. Typically, the city would have had about 9 inches of snowfall at this point. Even with the greater amount of snow, Traverse City is well below Gaylord’s 56 inches and Sault Ste. Marie’s 50 inches. Those cities are also well above their typical seasonal amount by this time, which would have been about 24 and 21 inches of snow, respectively. Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City was prepared for the precipitation, said Chief Operating Officer Dan Sal, who noted that their snow vehicles are operating, with brushes, sand bags, and non-corrosive, FAA-approved de-icers at the ready. The airport has been clearing the runways “24 hours a day and for the last eight straight days, for sure,” Sal said. “Some of our guys are on 10- to 12-straight days, I believe.” Even so, air travel across the region has experienced delays and closures over the past week. “I think we’ve only had to close a couple times for an hour here, hour there,” he said. “Everything’s been going good for us. We’ve had some mechanical issues with some of our trucks here and there, but that’s every winter.” The airport reminded flyers in a social media post Wednesday to check their local airline for delays. On Wednesday, an American Airlines Flight 5924, operated by Piedmont Airline, landed at the airport shortly after 8 p.m. After landing, the Embraer 145 aircraft taxied to the ramp and, upon turning onto the taxiway, the plane “left the pavement” and ended up in the snow, according to a Facebook post by the airport. The post indicated that the 44 passengers and three crew members were not injured and passengers were shuttled to the terminal. The cause of the incident and other details were not released. Airport Director Kevin Klein was not available for questions. Those passengers weren’t the only travelers to have their commute disrupted. Grand Traverse County 911 reported several instances on social media this week of roads being closed because of drivers having trouble getting up some of the steeper hills in the county. The Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office reported receiving 73 traffic calls between Tuesday at midnight and Thursday at 2 p.m. No fatalities or life-threatening injuries were reported, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Plans were changed or altered because of weather-related driving conditions. Most schools across the region had snow days on Thursday, the third snow day this week for many districts, and meetings and gatherings were canceled or rescheduled, including the Traverse City Downtown Development Authority’s Ad Hoc meeting, Traverse City Area Public School’s Board of Education Finance and Operations Committee meeting, the joint Northwestern Michigan College and NMC Foundation Executive Committee meeting, to name a few. But some events, like Traverse City’s Ladies Night event, went forth as planned. With expected temperatures dropping down into the upper teens and wind gusts around 30 mph women bundled up and headed downtown to shop special deals, eat, drink and enjoy the festive atmosphere from 5 to 9 p.m. Downtown Traverse City released a statement early Thursday after receiving many inquiries as to whether the event would go on. “Because this is a shopping event, merchants will individually decide to have their doors open,” the statement said. “Each merchant will decide their hours, so we encourage you to call ahead if you have a favorite spot in mind.” The weather may improve slightly for Men’s Night downtown on Dec. 12. Forecasts show a warming trend through the weekend and into early next week. Temperatures could reach 46 in Traverse City on Monday. However, the forecast indicates temperatures could drop to the low 30s by midweek.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) supports cutting government spending, but he does not believe someone receiving government money should decide what gets cut. Speaking to MSNBC on Thursday, Murphy addressed Capitol Hill meetings with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy about their new entity, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. The department hasn't been created yet, and if it intends to be an actual department, it will need congressional approval. However, the president can appoint toothless blue-ribbon panels or round-table advisories without Congress's approval. ALSO READ: Trump is taking the mask off after lying to us for more than a year "I'm not sure this has anything to do with breaking up the status quo," said Murphy about DOGE. Musk and Ramaswamy have said they plan to cut at least a third of the federal budget, of which the biggest ticket items are Medicare, Social Security and the interest on the national debt. Trump told MAGA supporters he would avoid cutting Social Security and Medicare. "You put a billionaire who basically has made his fortune off government subsidies in charge of deciding how the government should spend its money," Murphy continues. This sounds like either a con job in which Elon Musk comes out of this with his programs protected and perhaps his competitors's programs targeted — or just a TV show." He accused Trump of pretending to care about guns following the Parkland massacre. "Donald Trump pretended he cared about guns. He didn't do anything," said Murphy. The senator even questioned whether this is part of Trump's "show" that he cares about cutting government spending when he doesn't, and the first Trump term proved as much. "Deficits exploding, and more and more debt is saddled upon the American public," said Murphy. He went on to say that Democrats should make their own proposals about where to cut, such as subsidies to insurance companies and drug companies. "Let's come after Elon Musk who made his fortune off taxpayers," Murphy also said. See the video below or at the link here . - YouTube youtu.be

Meanwhile, place oats in a food processor; process 1 minute. Add 4 oz butter, brown sugar and pecans; pulse five times to combine. Spread mixture on a baking sheet; bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven, crumble. Bake 5 minutes or until golden brown. 3. Melt remaining 8 oz butter. Remove skin from cooled sweet potatoes. In a large bowl, whisk sweet potatoes, melted butter, granulated sugar and remaining ingredients until slightly lumpy. Transfer to a greased baking dish, smoothing surface evenly. Top with oat mixture. Bake 12 minutes or until heated through. Make-ahead tips •Sweet potato filling can be made up to 2 days in advance.
