There are many a slips between the cup and the lips –this aptly describes the public expectations and Government’s resolve to the end the ongoing crisis over the Shri Amarnath Shrine land transfer row as the fourth round of crucial dialogue was today put off yet again.
Official sources said that Governor’s Advisor Dr Sudhir Singh Bloeria, who is leading a four member panel including himself, was still not feeling well to travel down to Jammu to resume the dialogue.

Jammu | Aug 29
Error breeds terror.But as far as India is concerned error seems to be imported. Imported not from any foreign country but from its immediate neighbours, Pakistan and China. The result is we find terror in many parts of the country. While the terrorist activities in Jammu and Kashmir has been exported by Pakistan the one in north east region is from China. Surprisingly both Beijing and Islamabad were for sometime unaware of the ramifications of terror manufacturing industries that have been set up in Pakistan and China.

Jammu | Aug 29
Jammu is still staying firm on its demand for transfer of land to the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board but patience is thinning out. Not that people have lost energy for protests but the official delay is causing visible anxiety.
When the fourth round of dialogue, which was expected to be decisive, was delayed twice, the active participants of agitation and even the fringe watchers took it with a pinch of salt.
