| | | | `Before empowerment, Panchs, Sarpanchs need security' | | | |
Early Times Report
srinagar, Jan 31: Even as the panchayat members resign in large numbers, the Government is boasting of their empowerment which has not been translated into reality till date.

In the process many elected representatives fell to the bullets but the Government while downplaying the seriousness of the issues always resorted to sloganeering.
Even on that front (empowerment of Panchs and Sarpanchs) the coalition partners are at loggerheads with Congress propo... | |
