Jammu | May 15
The top bosses at the University of Jammu are bogged down ‘mysterious disappearance’ of an expensive equipment from the department of Chemistry which has been taken away by its own men to an institution which looks like but is not a part of the University.
The Indian Association of Solid State Chemists and Allied Scientists is headquartered in Jammu, its building has come on the Jammu University land but is in now way a department or part of the University of Jammu. Its relation with the Jammu University is more or less the same as in case of Indian Institute of Public Administration which has an academic collaboration with the JU and its building has come up on the University land.

Jammu | May 15
To prevent tampering of barbed wire fence by well trained Pakistani infiltrators security experts are weighing pros and cons of introducing ‘electrified’ border fence on the international border and the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir.
The nine feet tall barbed fencing once electrified could further help the security forces in checking infiltration from across the border and the line of control. Besides strengthening the security grid and round the clock patrolling in the border belts where fencing could not be carried out on account of nallahas and rivulets.
