Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 23: Despite the passage of 18 years, when in 1993 the demand for vacating 16 acres of land occupied by the Army for further expansion of Jammu university was raised, the issue has remained unsettled.
It was in late February 2003 that the Army had agreed to vacate over 16 acres of land adjacent to Jammu university. But the Army's nod was conditional. It wanted the state Government to allot land somewhere near Bhatindi for setting up the transit camp. This assurance from the Army authorities had been given to the then Chief Minister, Mufti Mohd. Sayeed, during a day-long civil-military liaison conference held in Jammu towards the end of February 2003..

Jammu, Nov 23: The Chief Minister today reaffirmed his government's resolve to empower Panchayati Raj. Addressing Panches and Sarpanches here today, he talked of issuing identity cards to them. But why do they need identity cards?
Kashmir is a place where everybody has to carry identity cards. In fact it forms the life line of a person in this `neglected land'. However, a democratically elected representative need prove his identity. He is known to police and the security agencies. He needs security instead and the Chief Minister should have talked about their security.
Omar said that the issuance of identity cards to the panchayat members would enable them to enter... | |

| | | | We're living in police state: 4 deaths a day in lockups in last 10 yrs | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 23: Four deaths a day in lockups is unquestionably a reason to describe J&K as a police state. Ironically, there is no government agency to take police to task whenever they exercise rigid and repressive controls over the social life of innocents.
After every custodial death, police are assailed and protests are held but no senior officer has so far been held guilty in this regard.
Even if someone is anti-social, or an outlaw, police have no legal right to kill him. There are courts to decide about punishment to such people.
A youth of Gajansoo area got killed under mysterious circumstances in the recent past. While family alleged that he died in police cus... | |
