Of deadly disease and Sheep Husbandry Department

This refers to the news “Deadly Disease claims 60 sheep in Sumbal” (GK 10th Jan-2010, page No. 12). Some contents in the story are far from truth.

GK Correspondent replies

I stand by my report in which emphasis was on the non-availability of qualified vets to take care of the sheep. The claim that Para vets are working under close supervision of qualified vets is something desirable and a requirement under J&K Veterinary Council Act-2000 but in practice this is not More

Police highhandedness

This refers to the news story titled “GK shot in the Eye”. The story was shocking for many reasons. One wonders how a senior police officer of a DSP rank can behave so irresponsibly.

Real message

This refers to the article “Three Idiots, One Message” by Altaf Khan (Jan 14). The writer has rightly portrayed the true message in the film for the future generation. The future generations should not confine themselves to becoming ‘Doctors’ and ‘Engineers’ only. In fact the message rightly fits into More

Don’t forget

Justice, truth and humanity is all there in the books. On ground, there is injustice, falsehood and tyranny. The denial of justice in the Shopian double rape and murder case is a clear example of injustice being done with Kashmiris, time and again. The CBI’s drowning theory is condemnable. Let’s not More

Changing statements

This refers to the changing statements about the lifting of ban on pre-paid mobile connections in Jammu and Kashmir. These statements only show that the Indian government wants to play with the sentiments of people. By imposing the ban, and later talking of lifting it, the government wants to show its More
