| | | | Why are Lists of corrupt officials still awaiting action? | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 14: When Mufti Mohammad Syed was the chief minister of the State, the government prepared a list of corrupt officers and removed them from key postings to provide relief to the general public and to protect the administration from the epidemic of corruption.
In contrast to this, the present State government headed by the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also claimed to have prepared a list of corrupt public servant, but neither took any action against them nor removed them from key postings. It is like preparing a list of corrupt officials and then conveniently ignoring any punitive action against them.
It is not that the corrupt officials those have been bringi... | |

| | | | Kashmir -- a way forward | | Kathwari Formula And Its Implications | | | Rustam
Jammu, Jan 14: Farooq Kathwari asserts that his "proposal is probably best conceived of as an 'interim settlement' (possibly for 15-20 years), which could be subject to subsequent approval or adjustment". His formulation clearly suggests three things. One is that it is for breaking the status quo. The other is that it keeps the option open for a settlement that would completely de-link Jammu and Kashmir from India. The third is that it is lop-sided and biased in favour of Pakistan and the Kashmiri secessionists and communalists whose only objective is to dismember India and introduce in the state a system that would look after and cater to the needs of Pakistan, both economic and st... | |

Sagar is in no position to take action against the Mirwaiz. The cleric is too strong for him. Even the Chief Minister will think hundred times before proceeding against the Mirwaiz. Had the criticism come from some we... | |
| | | | 'Factor 14' facilitates NC patron to enjoy JKCA crown | | Cricket in a shambles! | | | B Kirti
Jammu, Jan 14: Notwithstanding the tall claims made the office bearers of Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) that they promote cricket in nooks and corners of the state, the poor show by J&K Ranji trophy team in T20 and 4-day matches this season, as also the poor preparation for the forthcoming one-dayers in the next month, portraits picture of the cricket administrators with regard to promotion of the game in J&K.
With just a month left for the commencement of North Zone Ranji Trophy One-Day Tournament, the administrators of JKCA including its Chief, Dr Farooq Abdullah, are least bothered to regroup the J&K Ranji trophy squad, particularly after a dismal performance, to... | |
