If Peerzada himself comes as a teacher, I'll follow him

This refers to the news “Peerzada does the impossible!” That's quite unrealistic. Being in a cozy room, you are not able to get the feel of the situation outside. The minister must turn a teacher and then leave his home via Rajouri Kadal or Nowhatta for a school. If he reaches safely, we will follow More

We suffer

This refers to the letter titled “Think logically” (GK 23 July) by Bushra Nahvi. The author is absolutely right in saying that strikes only give us a shattered economy and a generation of illiterate people. Each and every thing comes to halt by these recurrent strikes.

Rescue us

The continued crisis in Kashmir in which over 15 teenaged boys got killed in a month should be an eye-opener for those who claim that the situation in Kashmir is normal.

Good move

Many educational institutions across Jammu and Kashmir have cancelled holidays including Sundays and summer vacations. This includes the University of Kashmir as well. Such moves should be appreciated given the situation. Initially it will be difficult for people to work overtime, but such steps are More

Not possible

This refers to the news "Peerzada does the impossible!". It seems that the government is not aware about ground situation in Kashmir. On one side state is imposing curfew and restrictions and on the others forcing teachers to attend their duties. How is it possible? Sahir SajadRangar Chadoora More
