| Geelani raises another bogey, this time over SASB | | | | early times report
Jammu, Sept 2: Separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani has raised another bogey to drive a wedge over the management of the annual Amarnath Yatra by demanding that the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB) should be disbanded.
It has become customary for the hardline separatist leader to raise issues which could disturb peace and tranquility in Jammu and Kashmir. Unrest and tension are the fodder on which the separatist campaign has survived in the State for the last 22 years.
It is one thing to raise issues pertaining to his separatist political agenda, but quite another to talk of a highly sensitive issue like the annual Amarnath Yatra. Millions of devotees hold the H... | |
| | | | Cong MP opposes 'alliance' with NC in Assembly polls | | It is too early, premature to comment, clarifies Soz | | | 'Amendment in RTI rules were not required'
early times report
Jammu, Sept 2: Clearly reflecting a mood of resentment against the ruling ally National Conference, the senior leader of Congress and MP Madan Lal Sharma today opposed and ruled out possibility of alliance with the party in next Assembly elections contending the move would not benefit the Congress in the backdrop of disappointment prevalent among the party workers at grass root level.

It was during the rally of the Congress at Nagrota that Madan Lal Sharma opposed to the i... | |
| | | | Abandoned patient awaits death in GMC Jammu | | Hospital administration accused of apathy | | | early times report
Jammu, Sept 2: In a shocking case of medical negligence and apathy, a man has been left to die in a hospital in Jammu after authorities realized that he could not be saved.
Lying on a stretcher in a corridor of the Government Medical College Hospital in Jammu since this morning, the man has been completely ignored by hospital authorities. Even as passers-by have complained of a foul stench emanating from near him, the hospital staff has turned a blind eye to his deteriorating condition. Worse, the ailing man has no family or friends to look after him.
"He has been lying here for the past 3-4 hours...there's so much of stinking smell here. The patient should be treat... | |

| | | | Ahead of winter season, CI agencies get busy to identify "loopholes" on borders | | | | BHARAT BHUSHAN
JAMMU, Sept 2: At least two months ahead of the forthcoming winter season, counter-insurgency (CI) agencies have started the massive exercise of identifying loopholes on the IB and the LoC here.
Official sources said though the CI agencies and border troops were fully alert, the "highly- guarded" borders here were still porous at some places.
A massive exercise was in progress to find out the loopholes and plug them to bring the infiltration at zero level, the sources added.
Sources said the evident loopholes seemed to be the rivers and other water bodies, including nullahs, that flow across the borders into Pakistan. A constant vigil was being maintained around all ... | |

| | | | Farooq Abdullah gracious enough to acknowledge defeat | | Autonomy & AFSPA | | | NEHA
JAMMU, Sept 2: One may or may not agree, but it is a hard fact that NC president and Union Minister for Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah on occasions publicly and gracefully acknowledges his defeat. Yesterday, he said something no NC leader, not even his son and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, would have dared to say considering the nature of the constituency he represents. The case in point was his yesterday's admission that it would take decades and decades for the State to get autonomy and for the AFSPA to go from the State. These are "complex issues," he said. In fact, he was quoted as saying "these are complex issues and may take century to implement them in toto". Not only this, h... | |

JAMMU, Sept 2: BJP leader and former chairman and Chief Executive Councillor of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), Leh, Chering Dorjay, has come down heavily on Union Health Minister and former J&K Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and charged him with causing schism in the Ladakhi society. "Events (in Ladakh) lead to an unavoidable inference that Ghulam Nabi Azad had a hand in wrecking our proverbial harmony. He had weaned away the more ambitious from amongst us (read Tourism Minister Nawang Rigzin Jora and his associates).
