| For Govt, it's now Khanyar today and Maharaj Gunj tomorrow | | After Police recruitment rally, Omar's maiden foray into 'Chhota Pakistan' | | | Ahmed Ali Fayyaz
EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, Jan 12: The Indian Republic Day (Jan 26th) is two weeks away. Twenty-first anniversary of Kashmir's first massacre, that triggered off an unending era of killings with the felling of over three dozen civilian lives at Gawkadal on January 21, 1990, is just one week away. Separatist hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani's first "total shutdown" of the year stands fixed even nearer on January 15th.
Where does Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and his Director General of Police, Kuldeep Khoda, stand in such tense situation? In safe environs of the winter capital? No. In the fortified colonial bungalows on Gupkar Road and Sonwar Bagh? Not, at all. Believe it or not, Jammu & Kashmir's most protected government functionaries, who failed to travel by road in the Valley for four months of Intifada-2010, are having a date with downtown Srinagar localities of Khanyar and Maharaj Gunj.
While as DGP held an on-spot Police recruitment rally at Khanyar---where over 8,000 unemployed youth lined up for 100-odd vacancies of Constables today---Chief Minister is... | |

| | | | JK CM cannot be PM and Governor Sader-e-Riyasat | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 12: With New Delhi's nominated interlocutors making clear that no change in the nomenclature of the posts of Governor and Chief Minister had been suggested, the advocates of autonomy must be disappointed.

Therefore, developments in the state are viewed with extreme caution and interest. Scores of states in India are up in arms against New Delhi. Some demand absolute sovereignty and some are unhappy with the system. Granting autonomy to Jammu Kashmir at this stage, therefore, is not simply possible. It will have a serious bearing o... | |
