| Republic Day passes off peacefully | | | | JAMMU, JAN 26
Officers of various security agencies including state police heaved a sigh of relief with the Republic day celebrations having passed off peacefully in the state of Jammu and Kashmir on Friday.

Governor Lt. General (Retd) S K Sinha today asserted that Jammu and Kashmir is enjoying more self-rule than any other constituent State or region of any democracy in the world and hoped that this model will be emulated and introduced across the border in PoK and Northern Area.
In his Republic Day address after unfurling the tricolour at an impressive parade at the State level function at MAM Stadium here this morning, the Governor said that General Musharraf and some leaders in Kashmir have been vouching for self-rule in Kashmir ignoring that the State as a shinning part of the Third World’s vibrant democracy enjoys both political and economic self-rule in a big measure.
