| NHPC, JK Govt lock horns at Delhi | | Work on Uri-II | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, May10: With egos running high on either side, resumption of construction work on Uri-II Hydroelectric Power Project in near future seems quite bleak as the Union Power Ministry has failed to break the deadlock between NHPC and the State Government over the question of implementation of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
If sources are to be believed, Union Power Ministry which summoned minister for PHE and Irrigation Taj Mohiuddin and Minister of State for Power Shabir Ahmad Khan the other day to sort out the issue, has failed in its efforts of reconciliation with both NHPC and the State Government holding their respective positions firmly. Pertinent to mention the State Government is adamant on its stand of engagement of local youth in the project as per the MoU which was approved by the State Cabinet.
Sources said that the State Government which was represented by Taj and Khan and NHPC represented by its chairman could not reach an agreement as both refused to compromise their respective stands.
Sources averred that Union Minister of State for... | |

jammu, May10: Twenty one years since the only Director of Physical Education of the University of Jammu retired, the university has not been able to find a head for the department even as the department grew from the department of sports alone to department of Sports and Physical Education that runs Bachelor and Master courses in Physical Education, a technical vocational discipline that boasts of 100 percent placement of its pass outs.
The headship of this technical department has been entrusted to several officers and teachers of the university from time to time, many of whom did justice to the responsibility, but the inability of the university administration to appoint a... | |

Srinagar, May10: With noted doctors assigned the job of paramedics, the Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) , the only tertiary care hospital in Kashmir is losing its sheen.
Insiders said a particular group treats the hospital as their personal property. Dr. Riyaz Rangrez Deputy Medical Superintendent who is from hospital administration has been given additional charge of Material Management, a post being held by paramedical stream.
Similarly Dr. GH Ittu, who also comes from hospital administration, has been given the additional charge of head of the pharmacy in clear violation of the rules.
What is even more shocking is the fact that Dr. Ajaz Mustafa h... | |

Srinagar, May10: In the much speculated administrative reshuffle, Government has sprung a surprise by replacing the high profile Director of Information, Farooq Reenzu, with Zaffar Ahmad, a Kashmir Administrative Service (KAS) of 1984 batch, who has been lately inducted into Indian Administrative Service (IAS). The State Cabinet, which held its first meeting in the summer capital after the annual return of Durbar from Jammu last week, also ordered transfer and appointments of nine other IAS officers of the ranks of Principal Secretary, Commissioner-Secretary and Secretary.
With many of the bureaucrats and politicians hazarding varied guesses over the reason, Cabinet remo... | |
| | | | SVC appointments 'run into rough weather' | | Next Selection Panel meeting unlikely following PDP's reservations | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 10: NC led coalition Government and the principle opposition party of State PDP once again appear to be on warpath, this time over the crucial issue of making appointment of Chief Vigilance Commissioner and the two members for the Commission, an over due step which is delaying in setting the anti graft body in functional mode. The tussle has started over what PDP feels its president Mehbooba Mufti not having been taken into confidence while preparing the list of probable candidates which Government has finalized.
Sources said PDP president who is member of the empowered appointing panel is also angry over Government 'deliberately' not communicating meani... | |

jammu, May10: It was on May 7 that the trifurcation/reorganization or separation from Kashmir crusade gained momentum in the real sense of the term. What happened that day? That day, the BSP national general secretary of the Bahujan Samaj Party and member of Rajya Sabha Narinder Kashyap, along with local BSP leaders, including party president Tulsi Dass Langeh, told reporters in Jammu that the BSP had adopted a resolution seeking trifurcation of the State into Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh States and that he had also raised the issue of the State's reorganization in the Rajya Sabha which was appreciated by others in the Upper House.
Not only this, Kashyap asked the NC-led coalition Gover... | |

jammu, May10: The so-called freedom struggle in Kashmir is in complete disarray and the so-called freedom fighters in the Valley are doing all that they could to blacken each other's face beyond recognition. Pro-Pakistan and religious bigot Syed Ali Shah Geelani is going his own way and saying day in and day out that he cannot work with All-Party Hurriyat Conference - Mirwaiz (APHC-M) because there are serious ideological differences between him and the APHC-M chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and the group the latter leads. Geelani also has no love lost for the JKLF leaders, including Yasin Malik, because they want independence both from India and Pakistan and this is not acceptable to ... | |
