Good recruitment policy of the Government
This refers to the letter titled “New transfer policy: Some suggestions” (GK, 1-02-2010). The author has not given any genuine suggestion. Rather she has favoured ReT teachers which is unwarranted. I don’t think the Government treats R-e-T teachers and General line teachers separately. Common people More

Ultimate reality
This refers to the article titled "The end of life" by Dr. Mushtaq Chalkoo (GK 4-01-2010) wherein the author has defined death “as a thing that reveals the fresh horizons of a new journey and not the extinction of life.” Almighty Allah’s concept of day and night is like everyone has to eventually die More

Afghanistan crisis
This refers to the crisis in Afghanistan and the recently held Afghanistan Conference at London. After nine years of bloodshed by the NATO forces, the Obama administration is giving cosmetic touch to things in Afghanistan to avoid embarrassment. Sending more NATO troops to the country will only add fuel More

Admirable move
This refers to the article by Muhammad Hussain Altaf (A Legend we must not Forget GK, Feb10). I appreciate the endeavour of this upcoming talented writer. He has taken up a time-consuming task. He is actually associated with a political organization where it’s not easy to find time to make such contributions More

Futile suggestion
This refers to the article “Kashmir Sheep Husbandry Department” by Dr. Muhammad Maroof Shah. The author has well criticized the department for lacking a policy to strengthen this industry with a good economy generation potential, especially in the meat-loving community of Jammu and Kashmir. However, More

Share responsibility
Many people endorse the view that stone-pelting is an effective tool to keep the ongoing freedom struggle alive. Separatist leaders just call for Hartals after the killings. But that is not sufficient. They need to look after the families who have been shattered by such killings. Just calling a bandh More

Life lost
Yet another son of this vale has lost his life to the barbaric acts of the police and troops whom our politicians call guardians of state! But alas! The Govt. is least bothered. Instead of stopping these acts, it is busy in projecting their so-called socio-economic reforms. The killing of young people More

Keep vigil
This refers to the menace of tuition in Kashmir Valley. Many a time it is seen that students go for tuitions just for the sake of enjoyment, and not studies. They happen to gossip in the tuition centres. It is a matter of grave concern which must be addressed by the parents. Parents must keep a vigil More

Good article
This refers to the article titled “Blood is blood” by Hassan Zainageree. The article was thought-provoking. The facts and details therein were impressive and authentic. The author has mentioned all the pros and cons of the exodus issue.Aijaz Hussain MalikSonim, pattanMore

Killing animal
It was sad to read about the statement made by wildlife warden south Kashmir justifying the killing of a helpless animal at point blank range by men in uniform. It sounds strange that people who are supposed to protect our precious wildlife are justifying their killing with those at helm of affairs watching More
