'Crisis management' Omar Govt taking credit through illusionary projections
1/11/2012 12:55:35 AM
Early Times Report JAMMU, Jan 10: Though Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and National Conference (NC) in general is trying to get credit through much hyped projections to remain in media limelight for visiting the snow hit people of Kashmir Valley after 'weather god' played havoc due to heavy snowfall in Valley and upper reaches of Jammu region but facts are otherwise. Political analysts see through the Abdullah's visit to the Valley and issuance of directives to cut off the power supply to VIP areas including CM's residence as nothing but to gain public sympathy for the dismal performance of the coalition government during last three years in office. It was also an attempt to silent the guns aimed by the opposition parties at the same time, they observed. As the three years of Omar led coalition have passed and the government has been under strong criticism be it summer unrest, or use of hi-tech gadgets in assembly by CM or revealing the name of rape victims or recently the for its failure in punishing the people responsible for mysterious death of his own Party activist Haji Moham...

Irony: DGP terms J&K Police as the 'Best"........!
1/11/2012 12:55:23 AM
Early Times Report jammu, Jan 10: DGP Kuldeep Khoda's words "that J&K police were one of the best police forces in the country" did not match with what his men were doing in thanas and on roads. While performing their duties, the men in khaki never hesitate to take law in their hands. They indulge in atrocities and then go scot free. In the passing out parade of SIs at PTA, Udhampur, on Monday, Khoda termed J&K police as one of the best police forces in the country despite the fact that commoners here were being humiliated by cops at nakas almost every day. No one dares to lodge complaints with senior police officers against such overbearing cops, fearing harassment at their hands. DSP...

1/11/2012 12:54:57 AM
Early Times Report jammu, Jan 10: Chief minister Omar Abdullah and IGP Ashok Gupta did not make any mention of trainee SI Parneet Kour, who was found hanging under mysterious circumstances from a ceiling fan hook at police training academy, Udhampur, on August 21 last year. Several Sikh organisations had demanded a probe into the incident, suspecting some foul play. Parneet, a resident of Lower Gadigarh here, was said to be a promising trainee SI at PTA. Surprisingly, neither the CM nor the IGP bothered to make a mention of the speeches in their addresses....

BSNL's hot babes!
1/11/2012 12:54:15 AM
Early Times Report jammu, Jan 10: Even as the state is confronting promiscuity and waywardness, the BSNL is bent upon polluting young minds by glorifying a porn star. An SMS circulated by the BSNL reads, "Catch hot and sizzling Big Boss Babes Sunny Leone ke Jalwe! Click http://wap.hungama.com/bsnl/115361/.inde.php.3". The civil society has taken strong exception to what they called `cheap methods to mint money'. "It is totally unacceptable.

He has plans to file a criminal case against the BSNL The Big Boss, a reality show has come under severe criticism for promoting licentiousness. Pertinent to ...

With Congress heavy weights 'opting' silence, NC enjoys R&B, PDD portfolios in full swing
1/11/2012 12:53:57 AM
Early Times Report jammu, Jan 10: Even while chief minister Omar Abdullah on Monday cleared the air on cabinet reshuffle and expansion and described the same as 'mere rumour', a simple question of keeping two important portfolios-Road and Buildings and Power Development Departments-within his domain remains unanswered. Rather no one among Congress heavyweights-be it Saif-ud-Din Soz group or Azad lobby- bothered to intervene and get back the two prestigious portfolios, which as per the agreement are in Congress' kitty. The direct fallout of keeping a blind eye towards the issue in question is that whatever developmental works related recommendations are being made by NC leadership to the ...

Doctor's American degree turns out fake
1/11/2012 12:53:44 AM
ET Report SRINAGAR, Jan 10: Efforts are underway to appoint an Assistant Surgeon as Medical Superintendent (MS) of 700-bed SMHS Hospital in Srinagar even as his "American degree" has turned out to be fake during scrutiny and investigation. Authoritative sources revealed to Early Times that certain politicians and bureaucrats were pushing Assistant Surgeon Dr Riyaz Ahmad Dar for appointment as MS of the state's busiest SMHS Hospital. Absconding for nearly 15 years, Dr Dar had served at a hospital in Saudi Arabia for 13 years before returning to the state Department of Medical Education. According to sources, his 13 years of absence was condoned and recorded as dies non. After the break in ...

Omar again snubs Cong leadership
In A State Of Paralysis
1/11/2012 12:53:31 AM
Rustam jammu, Jan 10: "I represent both the political parties and have to think over the matter when it comes to me". Chief Minister Omar Abdullah yesterday made this statement while dismissing as a "rumour" the talk of cabinet reshuffle. He was talking to reporters on the sidelines of foundation laying function of Jammu and Kashmir State Data Centre (JKSDC) in the civil secretariat premises. If what has been reported by the print media is correct, then it can be construed as a deliberate affront to the self-respect of those who are leading the Congress party in the state. How else could one interpret his statement that "I represent both the political parties" (read National Conference and...

Shimla shines with snowfall, as Patnitop, Gulmarg and Pahalgam are deserted by tourists
1/11/2012 12:53:10 AM
Early Times Report Srinagar, Jan 10: Hundreds of tourists have started arriving in Shimla in Himachal Pradesh as those already in Patnitop, Gulmarg and Pahalgam hill stations in the Valley are rushing back to their homes. This strange difference in the tourist behavior between the Valley and Shimla can only be explained if we have a closer look at the facilities provided by the governments in the two states. While Shimla has uninterrupted electricity and water supply at the tourist resorts...

18 yrs on ,GCET faculty still struggles for AICTE status
No recruitment, promotional rules for GCET faculty till date

Sumit Sharma jammu, Jan 10: While the tall claims are pouring from NC-leadership about achievements of the three years completion including in higher education i.e. the halfway of Omar led coalition, but the things at ground realty are different perhaps the NC leadership knowingly is brushing aside from the reality for political reasons as the Government College of Engineering and Technology (GCET), Jammu establishment in 1994 have faculty in resentment. The Government and its sympathizers the NC leadership may have good reasons to put high claims to mark the halfway of coalition as a 'successful regime' but the latest plea vide Ref No GCTA/Pr/11/19 before Commissioner Secretary ARI and ...

PDP criticism constructive, Omar govt can learn from it
Loud talk by other opposition parties rhetoric, unachievable
1/11/2012 12:50:25 AM
Early Times Report Jammu, Jan 10: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has done it once again. Instead of taking opposition party PDP's criticism over the way he has been managing crisis in the Kashmir Valley in positive stride, he has hit them back, albeit in a sarcastic way . Even as he has tried to show that he cares damn about what PDP feels or says about his style of functioning, the fact remains he does care and gives a thought to each and every comment PDP makes about the government led by him. For Omar also knows it well PDP is the only party in opposition which makes criticisms not for the sake of it but is loaded with remarks and points which make sense and are relevant to the time an...

Despite CM's assurance, Chenab region reels under shortage of essential commodities
Kishtwar-Jammu NH closed for 5th consecutive day
1/11/2012 12:49:54 AM
Early Times Report kishtwar, Jan 10: Even as Chief Minister Omar Abdullah undertook a whirlwind tour of Chenab region viz Doda and Kishtwar districts to assess the situation there arisen out of heavy snowfall, people of the area have no respite from the hardships as they continue to reel under shortage of essential commodities.

Jammu not a doormat, it will decide its own fate
Kashmir Issue -- II
1/11/2012 12:49:19 AM
Neha jammu, Jan 10: As mentioned, Jammu province is neither Kashmir's colony nor a doormat and bridge between Kashmir and New Delhi. The people of Jammu province have not given the mandate to New Delhi to decide their fate. Nor have they given this mandate to the Kashmiri leadership. They are the masters of their own fate and it is their prerogative to go where they want to. No one can impose the Kashmiri leadership's will on them. Nor can New Delhi force down their throat a solution that is based on the demands being put forth by the Kashmiri leadership. Likewise, they are vehemently opposed to a solution that divides Jammu province along the River Chenab on communal lines. Pir Panjal is ...

Though the administration is claiming that most of the passengers have been sent free of cost on a fleet of SRTC buses to their respe...

Helpless Omar prefers status quo on cabinet reshuffle?
1/11/2012 12:47:40 AM
Early Times Report jammu, Jan 10: If some media reports are to be believed the State Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has once again decided to put the much awaited cabinet reshuffle on the hold. Succumbing to pressures mounted on him from within the NC and the inability of his Congress alliance partners to come to some consensus on the crucial issue, it is now reliably learnt that the much talked about reshuffle of portfolios in the State cabinet has been deferred by the Chief Minister. After completing three years in office, Omar Abdullah was likely to announce a major reshuffle in his cabinet. While some new faces were believed to be waiting for their induction into the cabinet, public op...
