Another chance

This refers to the news “Omar inaugurates state of the art TRC.” Such facilities are required in Jammu and Kashmir.

Traffic mess

This refers to the frequent traffic jams in Srinagar. The Traffic Department has miserably failed to manage the smooth flow of traffic in the city centre Lal Chowk.

Canceling vacations

This refers to the news “It is official: winter vacations off.” How can the Minister for Education Peerzada Muhamamd Sayyed ignore that fact that winter in Kashmir is unbearably harsh. Even if the state government ensures heating arrangements in schools, yet it is insufficient. When it snows, it become More
