EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Nov 14: University of Jammu has been ideal rehabilitation centre for relatives and friends of veteran Journalists, bureaucrats, politicians, business tycoons and certain blue-eyed 'Dabang' student leaders.
Although, both Chancellor and Pro-Chancellor of university have so far preferred silence over taking cognizance of reports appearing in several local dailies regarding illegal and backdoor appointments which were order of the day during former Vice-Chancellor Prof. Amitabh Mattoo's tenure. Sole criterion of these appointments was candidate's proximity with veteran Journalists, bureaucrats, politicians, business tycoons and certain blue-eyed 'Dabang' student leaders.

| Valley sees no harm in love marriages | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 14: With arranged marriages having become an extremely costly affair in Kashmir, love marriages have become permissible slowly but surely the opposition of the conservative elements notwithstanding.

This means we are already short of 80000 boys. This had made a lot of difference. It is one of the reasons for late marriages in the Valley."
He said the quest for employed women had dealt a severe blow to the institution of marriage. "Very few people show interest in unemployed girls. Finding a... | |

Whatever he said was what Syed Ali Shah Geelani had been consistently saying since years.
His assertions that Jammu and Kashmir was an "international issue", that the "back-channel talks between these nations (India and Pakistan) will resume soon and my government will be part of these", that... | |
