| NC asks : Are there more Sectt employees from Kashmir than from Jammu? ; CM answers : Yes ! | | | |
JAMMU, JAN 22
The oft repeated complaint of the people of Jammu that Civil Secretariat of Jammu and Kashmir has been totally dominated by the inhabitants of Kashmir was substantiated today by facts and figures.
Iin reply to a question of NC Legisaltor Ajay Sadhotra, Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad informed the house in the form of written reply on Monday that out of 1725 secretariat employees, a whopping 1214 hail from Kashmir region and only 489 belong to Jammu.
An analysis of this data further tells that as far as the gazetteed employees are concerned, the skewness in the employment figures in not very sharp as there are 191 officials from Kashmir in this grade versus 108 from Jammu region.
Although the valley based employees are double in this case, but the overwhelming discrimination with the people of Jammu is evident, when the employee profile of Non-Gazetted employees is analysed.
The overwhelming domination of Kashmiris is evident in the secretariat as they account for 767 jobs as compared to only 274 jobs held by Jammuites in this class.

| Cabinet spending more time on minor details, less on policy matters | | Abhishek | | | Jammu, Jan 22
Instead of concentrating on policy matters and finding out solutions to the problems of people, the State Cabinet spends almost half the time in taking decisions which are concerned less with the future of state but more with running of minor departments.
A perusal of the detailed list of the cabinet decisions furnished in the state assembly today reveals that the J&K govt runs in a very centralized manner and nothing in the state can move without the permission of cabinet per se.
Decisions which can easily be taken at the departmental level are also routed through the cabinet and this is one of the primary reasons that the development work in the state remains in inert... | |

NEW DELHI, JAN 22
If Friday and Saturday threw up encouraging signals in Pakistans for the three-member Hurriyat Conference delegation from Kashmir largely due to warm courtesies extended by the Musharraf camp, Sunday had somewhat unsavoury messages for the "honourable guests" headed by Maulvi Umar Farooq.
Message number one was from the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), which asked Kashmir's All-Party Huriyat Conference (APHC) not to "betray" the Kashmiri people. JI leaders from Bagh told a news conference that Islamabad and New Delhi had no authority to decide how the Kashmir issue would be resolved. They charged Maulvi Umar Farooq, chief of the moderate faction of Hurriyat Conference, w... | |
