I hope the agony ends and peace has a day

Sundays have become such a redundant concept in Kashmir now. Everyday is a Sunday. I am quite sure that the majority of us had, not long ago, lost the idea of what day of the week it was.

Cheating people

Please refer to Sajjad Bazaz column What's up (GK 5.12.2010).

Calling shots

This refers to the news “MOD defends troops, says Army has right to express its opinion.” No doubt Army has right to express its opinion, but there is a proper platform to do so.

Traffic terror

This refers to your editorial about traffic mess and the need to have wider roads and more flyovers. Sure, there is a need to cope up with this traffic problem. Otherwise there will be a time when we won't be seeing vehicles plying on the road. Because there will be no space. All these cars will be locked More
