| | | | Do population and number of villages in J&K call for new administrative units? | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 1: The ruling alliance of Congress and the National Conference face a conflict over the plan on setting up new administrative units in Jammu and Kashmir. Whether the two succeed in resolving the conflict or not is not as important as the question whether the state of the size of Jammu and Kashmir required new administrative units or not?
The issue is debatable. But those who call the Government's exercise on setting up new administrative units as poll politics do not seem to be wrong.
