EARLY TIMES REPORT

to unite and fight for the rights of the people of Jammu province. It

infection”, said Rampal who is in `one time paradise on earth’ on a
holiday.
Last year Srinagar was declared the third dirtiest city. The
concerned vehemently contested the rating. But when a municipality
has just 600 sweepers against a required strength of 3800, the plight
of the city can only be imagined. But the municipali... | |
