Shutdown but little tension over Uni's death in Sopore
Battle on appletown continues in 22nd year; Police say 20 fresh recruits came in recently; Search on for Muz Maulvi, Akash Badar
9/17/2011 12:03:49 AM
Ahmed Ali Fayyaz sopore, Sept 16: Arguably nothing better than Abdullah Uni's death would have marked completion of the first zero-casualty year for Jammu and Kashmir Police. As many as 18 civilians and a Constable died in different clashes between demonstrators and Police/paramilitary forces when thousands of Kashmiris came out on streets on September 13th, 2010, to protest a sacrilegious incident that had happened in United States of America. That brought number of the civilians killed in street demonstrations, clashes and arson during turbulent summer of 2010 to 114. Nobody died in such clashes from September 14, 2010 to September 14, 2011 anywhere in Kashmir valley. Shops in the north Kashmir business hub remained shut for three days as a mark of tribute to the Lashkar-e-Tayyiba terror Abdullah Uni. If Police are to be believed, Uni was "simply a brand name of terror" who did everything on gun point and was in immoral relationship with over a dozen young women, including his hideout owner Tariq Kakru's daughter Tabbasum. But, quite a number of residents extol him as a "great w...

Early Times Report Jammu, Sept 16: Notwithstanding the resolution on seeking clemency for Afzal Guru having been admitted by the Assembly Secretariate , the real outcome as regards its enlisting in the schedule of business for debate and discussion on the floor of House will emerge tomorrow.

Though the system of draw of lots for huge number of resolutions received every time when the session is held is a normal practice, this time it assumes significance in terms of few resolutions that can bring some discomfiture t...

9/17/2011 12:01:02 AM
Early Times Report JAMMU, Sept 16: The State Government recently announced 22,000 posts of teachers would be filled up on priority in Jammu and Kashmir. Education minister, Peerzada Sayeed made the announcement at a well attended function in presence of the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah in summer capital Srinagar. The announcement had definitely come as a welcome surprise to thousands of educated unemployed youth in the State who have completed their graduate, post graduate and even Ph.D degrees, but have been running from pillar to post looking for a job. The sufferings of the unemployed educated youth are borne more by their parents who have reached the later part of their lives a...

Relief Organisation: The coercive arm of government
Black Sheep In The Community
9/17/2011 12:00:46 AM
Early Times Report JAMMU, Sept 16: Corruption and the mismanagement are not the only problems in the camps run by the relief organization for the internally-displaced Kashmiri Hindus in Jammu. The Relief Commissioner's office has, according to sources, "gradually evolved into an elaborate coercive psychological system of mind and milieu controlling". "Relief Commissioner decides who the leaders of Kashmiri Hindus are. Relief commissioner chooses these leaders. Relief commissioner decides which leader or group has to meet delegations of human rights organizations, political parties or dignitaries of foreign countries. Relief commissioner decides what exactly they have to say, makes the memo...

Congmen feeling humiliated with style of function of CM, accuse NC of not upholding coalition dharma
9/17/2011 12:00:08 AM
Early Times Report JAMMU, Sept 16: The resentment is brewing in Congress against the senior coalition partner whom its senior leaders and ex ministers continue to blame for not honoring the coalition dharma. Right from the formation of the coalition in the state headed by Omar Abdullah in 2008, the two alliance partners were never comfortable with each other and both the partners were in alliance for certain compulsions. According to sources Congress leaders continue to find fault with the style of functioning of the Chief Minister and his ministerial colleagues and this blame game still continues from the side of junior alliance partner. Though the Central leadership may try to brush all...

Snoring commissioner infuses slumber in animal/sheep husbandry departments
9/16/2011 11:58:51 PM
Early Times Report JAMMU, Sept 16: The animal/sheep husbandry department has always been the least cared for and the least sought after administrative office for the senior bureaucrats. Thus the least interested on the list of senior bureaucrats are assigned the displeasing job of heading this department. Nobody bothers about the fact that animal/sheep breeding and rearing is in more than one way the backbone of our rural economy. If this department is run by well meaning and hardworking commissioner/secretaries the department can really rise up to the expectations of the people and deliver. The department has been assigned to the charge of a commissioner/secretary who after failing to ...

Jammu Medical College in a shambles
Fraud On Jammu
9/16/2011 11:56:37 PM
Early Times Report JAMMU, Sep 16: The BJP-led NDA regime took a momentous decision to raise the level of the worthless Jammu Medical College to the status of All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). BJP leader and Union Minister Sushma Swaraj came all the way from New Delhi to Jammu to lay the foundation stone. The people of Jammu, unlike the people of Kashmir who had the privilege of having a separate medical college and a separate super specialty hospital - Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) - and Lal Ded Hospital for women, were then very happy. They felt, and rightly so, that they would get medical facilities similar to the ones available with the AIIMS and S...

Mentally upset administrator can't hand down a good govt
CM's Plea
9/16/2011 11:56:08 PM
Rustam JAMMU, Sept 16: Omar Abdullah is right when he urges the media and others not to interfere in his private life and allow him to lead a life of his own liking. The statement that he issued yesterday confirming that he and his wife Payal Nath have separated did suggest that he was quite upset over the "media speculations and rumours about their separation and his proposed re-marriage". "I have noted with considerable dismay and anguish the growing tide of speculation in the media about my private life, particularly the status of my marriage," Omar Abdullah, in fact, bemoaned, and added that "I am sure you will all appreciate that my private life has gone through a period of unpreceden...

Problem in Jammu, focus on Kashmir
Bad Statecraft
9/16/2011 11:53:38 PM
Neha JAMMU, Sept 16: Jammu has over the years become a land of refugees. Over one lakh refugees from West Pakistan -- mostly members belonging to the depressed classes -- have been leading a wretched life in Jammu since 1947. They migrated to Jammu to save their life. Even after over 63 years of independence and forced migration these refugees have failed to obtain citizenship rights despite repeated passionate pleas and protest demonstrations. Their life is nothing but a veritable hell on earth as they are considered a community who don't deserve human rights, including the right to education and vote. No authority cares for them. All those who matter in the state and at the centre focus ...

Lal Chowk's clock tower loses its sheen
9/16/2011 11:52:08 PM
JAMMU: For the first time in the past two decades, the clock tower at the historic Lal Chowk in the summer capital has lost its sheen. Nobody tried to hoist a flag atop the tower this year. For Kashmir watchers it reflects the changing mood of Kashmiris. The tower, it may be mentioned has remained the centre stage of Kashmir politics since eruption of militancy in 1989. Both separatists and mainstream politicians have demonstrated their strength by assembling or by `conquering' the area. While the government seems, desperate to keep the clock tower `out of bounds' especially for the separatists, the curbs imposed to ensure its `protection' subjected the commoner to inconvenience. Pert...

Appeal to Hon'ble speaker by Shri Chaman Lal Gupta BJP MLA
9/16/2011 11:51:45 PM
Sir, I had raised a question during the last session of the state assembly seeking a reply from the government regarding the decision to stop government advertisements to the daily Early Times published from Jammu. I had also spoken about the highhandedness of the government and its arbitrary, whimsical dispensation regarding distribution of official advertisements to the various newspapers published in the state. Despite repeated requests, the state government did not come forward with any reply to my question and the result has been that through its decision to ignore my question the state government has covertly accepted that it does not have a reasonable answer to my question. Hon'b...
