What seems to be amazing is that the concerned authorities have been able to complete only 29 per cent of the total road projects sanctioned in Poonch against 81 per cent in Pulwama district. Equally amazing is the bias the central Government has shown while sanctioning projects under PMGSY. Thi...   READ MORE   Will discuss AFSPA, troop reduction with Chidambaram: Omar 4/8/2012 12:14:43 AM Early Times Report jammu, April 7: Issue of Armed Forces Special Powers Act and reduction of troops from Jammu and Kashmir would be discussed during the forthcoming visit of Union Home Minister P Chidambaram, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said.

Meanwhile, Wani said he stood by his inquiry report and alleged that the DC was involved in the 'misappropriation' of funds.
