| Preliminary report indicts 'doctor death' for G.B. Pant hospital tragedy | | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, June 6: The one-man probe preliminary report into the deaths of children in G.B. Pant Hospital is shocking and disturbing. While the report says the mortality rate at the hospital is much above the national average, being 20% as per the records, the report shows the records to indicate this mortality rate are also in shambles.
The preliminary report has indicted the former medical superintendent of the hospital maintaining that the hospital's records and working have been in a disturbing mess. "These records have never been maintained properly right from the beginning," the report says.
Dr. Showkat Ali Zargar, director of the SKIMS, who is carrying out the probe, has also said in his observations that at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the hospital there has been 'negligible presence of doctors which is shocking'.

JAMMU, June 6: Barkha Dutt of NDTV 24X7, like many other supporters of Kashmiri separatists, is feeling disgusted these days. What has hurt her feelings is the failure of the New Delhi-appointed interlocutors to recommend wholesale withdrawal of the central laws and institutions from the state. Her main grouse against them is that "interlocutors while promising a 'new compact' have urged the correcting of historical wrongs and the mending of broken promises, while simultaneously ruling out any simple stepping back into a Time Machine". "We need to be sensitive to the genesis and history of people's (Kashmiri Muslims') grievances," she has said in her latest political essay on Jammu an... | |

| | | | Can logical Omar fix tourists number to Kashmir | | | | Rama Sharma
Jammu, June 6: The proponents of curtailment of Amarnath yatra are relying heavily on the ecological concerns. This was one of the main counter arguments even of the separatists, who in their 'make-belive' world view it as a conspiracy by the right wingers to change demographic profile of the Kashmir.
Even CM is concerned about ecological affect of this yatra and had tweeted to get a logical answer for prolonging the yatra.
If the logic is the yard-stick and parameter on which this propaganda has been based, then by the same logic shouldn't be their curtailment of tourists coming to Kashmir.
