Don’t accept

This refers to the Union Home Ministry’s private security proposal for Jammu and Kashmir. If there is any such plan in the pipeline, it only means addition of more troops in the state.

Condemnable move

Wullar conservation

One really fails to understand the plans of the Jammu and Kashmir government, especially with regard to conservation of Wullar Lake.
