Winter schooling. Why review the decision?
  The only problem to be solved for normal working of winter schooling seems to be the development of infrastructure but, there are so many questions that need to be answered.

Welcome move
The state government's decision to have the winter schooling for students from 9th standard to 12th standard is a good move.

Power woes

Pathetic scenario
This refers to the state government’s proposal to bring back the Non Resident Kashmiri doctors who are working in different parts of the world. I wonder why they would come back to a state where the healthcare scenario is pathetic, to say the least. Even if the state government offers them good salaries More
