IDR Bill

This refers to the inter-district recruitment bill passed recently by the legislature. No doubt eight percent reservation for schedule castes in the bill is discrimination against Kashmiris. But Kupwara being an educationally-backward district has much more to celebrate, as we were being discriminated More

Civic facilities

This refers to the article titled ''Srinagar-the dirtiest city'' by Shahid Kar. (GK 19-05-2010).

Car finance

Welcome statement

Recruitment bill

This refers to the article about the recruitment bill by Er. Rasheed.
