One year down can we expect justice?
This refers to the anniversary of Shopian incident observed recently. Who would have thought of the fate of Shaheed Aasiya and Neelofer exactly one year back. Like all others, they too would have been busy in planning their life, discussing their careers, sharing the golden moments of their life. More

Job avenues
This refers to the G.K. editorial “Retrieving Industrial Estate” (2nd June, 2010).  I completely agree with the views expressed.  In our Valley where there are plenty of natural resources which can be put to a better use for economic development. Thousands of kanals of land are under occupation More

All bleed
This refers to Write Hand titled Machil Calling, We all bleed, let’s all cry together by Ajaz ul Haque. Indeed there are many cases which are yet to be resolved. There are so many questions which are yet to be answered. Government sets up commissions for probing such incidents, but at the end of the More

Sangarmaal plaza
This refers to the inauguration of the shopping plaza named "SANGARMAL" in Srinagar. Sangarmaal is the first government mall in Jammu and Kashmir with all the latest facilities and attractions for the people of Kashmir. It is the right move taken by the Government to provide the people a platform where More

Innocent civilians
The killing of three innocent civilians by Army in a fake encounter in Machil is shocking. Though fake encounters are nothing new in Kashmir, yet this particular tragedy is a unique in many ways. First the Army claimed that they had gunned down infiltrators and recovered arms and ammunition from them More

Machil encounter
This refers to the article titled "Machil encounter was real” by Mahmood-ur-Rashid. It was a brutal encounter. The killing of three innocent Kashmiris in a fake encounter for awards and promotions is completely shocking. We have been suffering for the past 20 years. Killing of civilians is becoming a More

Apology must
This refers to article “Delhi Must Apologise” by MLA Er. S A Rasheed. I also heard about bonded labor there and thus support the writer. The writer has chosen to fight against injustice in a democratic way and that is the most admirable part because it is democracy where you are free to choose the path More

Dialogue welcome
This refers to the news “Manmohan reaches out to separatists with a rider”. One fails to understand why India always makes the conditional talks offer. This time India wants separatists “to shun violence.” Do separatists hold a gun? I think the Hurriyat Conference (G) Chairman, Syed Ali Geelani has rightly More

Good planning
As mentioned in GK Plus the estimated cost of Sangarmall is Rs 18 crores and the Srinagar Development Authority is expected to receive above Rs 50 crores after all its shops are sold out. It is a result of proper planning. The SDA has made every attempt to make its planning effective and efficient, and More

No insult
This refers to Dr Tabassum Khan's letter about the recent Burn Hall incident. Our batch is regarded best batch in the school and we after a gap of many years brought 10th board positions back to our school. The fact even acknowledged by our teachers. But we don't want to see students being subjected More
