Jammu | Sep 1
On day when Jammu resumed the normal business after 64 days of shutdowns, curfews, protest-demonstrations and a continuous uncertain state of affairs the business community was seen making quick beginning for a new era of peace and normalcy but one section among them appeared confused about their stocks.
The fall of summer is a peak season for the readymade garment dealers to shell off cool clothes at discounted prices and deck up the shelves for autumn collection. This summer, neither the brisk sales were made nor was their any opportunity to offer products on discounted prices. Now when the markets has reopened, it is already almost beginning of au... | |

Jammu | Sep 1
A day after amicable resolution of the Shri Amarnath Shrine land row and widespread celebrations across the town, an informative piece of publicity blitzkrieg launched by the government for awareness of generation public has left a bade taste in the month.

| | | | Remain calm over the victory | | | | Nirbhay Jammual
Even blatedly the Governments,in Sringar and Delhi,conceded the main demands of the Amarnath Sangarsh Samiti.One may be mistaken if one thinks that it is the victory of either the Sangarsh Samiti or those groups that were part of it.It is the victory of those who died while agitating against the revocation of the land order.
