RAJOURI/JAMMU, Mar 16: While people stayed indoors in the curfew-hit Rajouri town last night, JKAP cops forcibly entered their houses and beat them up. Their victims included women, children and elders.

Early Times Report
Jammu, March 16:-Even though India has raised its defence budget from Rs.164000 crores in 2011-2012 to Rs.193000 crores in 2012-2013 it is far less than its two main enemies,China and Pakistan.As far as the Chinese defence budget for the year 2011-2012 is concerned it was 110 billion dollars and that of Pakistan Rs.495 billions.
As has been the case last year both China and Pakistan had hiked the defence expenses by 11 to 12 per cent as compared to the defence budget of 2010-2011.If this hike is allowed to continue during the next financial year it means that both Beijing and Islamabad would be providing a major share of its spending on the defence.

NEHA
JAMMU, Mar 16: The people of Jammu and Kashmir will go to the polls in April this year to elect new corporations and other urban local-bodies. All political parties in the state are busy these days working out strategies to win the civic elections. There are unconfirmed reports that the Congress and NC are likely to contest the coming elections jointly. It can happen considering the prevailing political scenario, which is not quite favourable for them. The PDP will, it appears, go it alone. The BJP is unlikely to enter into pre-poll alliance with any political group, not even the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP). Similarly, the JKNPP is unlikely to enter into pr... | |

Terming the statement of Samiti totally unfortunate, the leaders of various KP organizations urged the Sadhu Samaj to refrain from making any such statement as religious gurus Sadhus are taken into high esteem and highly respected by the entire Hindu community. Their indulgence and interference in the affairs of Shrines Bill will send a wrong signal among the Hindu Samaj.
