| Has Govt forgotten security of Panchs and Sarpanchs? | | | |
early times report
Jammu, Nov 2: In a typical example of the government's style of functioning, the much hyped and talked about security to elected Panchs and Sarpanchs in the State seems to have suddenly been forgotten leaving over 34,000 such elected village heads in the lurch.

Meetings at the highest level were taken by the State Chief Minister to begin with ... | |

| | | | Can No 1 tag hide 'true picture' of health sector in J&K | | | | KUNAL SHRIVATSA
JAMMU, Nov 2: It is indeed an irony that a state where two of the premier government health institutions are being administered on ad-hoc basis while a Medical College is allegedly on the verge of de-recognition for want of faculty was tagged as No 1 State in the health sector.
After receiving the 'prestigious' award at the 'India Today' conclave held yesterday at New Delhi, the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah must be in an upbeat mood and basking in the glory, however, his political rivals in the state called pot shots against him and the coalition government for the alleged poor condition of the health sector in Jammu and Kashmir.
While expressing grave concern over feli... | |

| | | | When Brig Sen scolded Sher-e-Kashmir, Bakshi | | Flash back | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 2: The `lion' of Kashmir and his most trusted lieutenant had to eat a humble pie when Brigadier LP Sen scolded them near Budgam on November 4, 1947. The duo moved out of the room without offering any resistance. But had they any option. It was an outburst of a Brigadier of the Indian army and not the feeble voice of a hapless Kashmiri who was trampled, harassed, humiliated repeatedly by the duo.
When Indian troops landed in Srinagar on October 27, 1947, the National Conference workers headed by Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad provided them vehicles and vital information about the tribesmen. Brigadier LP Sen who commanded the troops has acknowledged their contribution... | |
