GOVIND CHOUHAN
Jammu | July 26
It is condemnable but true: No official function was organised here to remember the valiant feat of 500 jawans and officers who sacrificed themselves recapturing numerous posts in icy heights of Kargil in 1999.
Every year, since 1999, July 26 is being remembered and celebrated all over India as ‘Vijay Diwas’ or ‘Victory day’ commemorating the historical victory of the Indian armed forces over Pakistani intruders in the treacherous heights of Kargil.
When, President of the National Conference, Omar Abdullah was contacted to have his comments, he expressed surprise over the lack of enthusiasm among people to celebrate "Vijay Diwas".
Transport Minister, Mangat Ram Sharma felt ashamed and held 'all' responsible for such a lukewarm response to such the day. He emphasized on the need to know the importance of "Vijay Diwas", as martyrs have lost their life for the cause of the nation.
BJP State President, Nirmal Singh expressed regret over the way people responded to this great day and also emphasized over the need to observe this day at par ... | |

The history of judiciary is as old as the system of governance. It has existed in one form or the other from times immemorial. Various sources of history point to the existence of this institution in Jammu and Kashmir from early times though in a very crude form. With the advent of time, dispensation of justice came to be delegated and entrusted to the concerned authorities. The changes in the system of governance had a profound impact on this branch of administration and the posts of Dharmadhiyasha, Rajasithaniya, Setheya, Qazi, Mir Adal etc. were created to make its functioning efficient and its ... | |
